Dear FRiends
It really pains me to see some of those vicious anti-Mormons attacks we see on Free Republic disguised under the “freedom of speech. Attacking people based on their Mormon faith is really disgusting and it is an insult to this great forum. People who do not like Governor Mitt Romney based on his positions are free to express their opinion as such, but people who attack him because he is a Mormom should be ashamed of themselves and must not be allowed to do so.
I greatly hope that Free Republic members and moderators will get together and help in stopping this anti-Mormon vitriol, this great Free Republic must not be tainted by these shameless acts.
It’s time to move on.
“and he just seems like a used car salesman to me”
Your antenna are tuned accurately. He is selling the
“used car” of fake conservative positions - of rather
recent vintage.
Better order a Car-Fax on what he’s selling!
Appreciate that though.
How about the Moonies? Are they a cult?
Is it an attack to call them so?
What about the Pagans? Cult or no?
Why should Mormons be exempt from cult status?
I see.
There were a few thing he said that I found to be very... direct.
For example:
...
Mitt Romney did not have the courage or wisdom to say what he, as a Mormon, actually believes — all of it, without pretending his creed is no different than the Christian creed.
...
he pretended he wasn’t Mormon, or that being Mormon was so strange it is in his interest to keep it secret. In this speech about Mormonism, he uttered the word “Mormon” just once, while saying “Jews” and “Muslims” two times each and “Catholic” three times.
He even said:
Is it hurtful, disgusting or unkind of me to quote those words in these threads?
Wow, I've never seen that tactic before./s
Excellent post, PM.
“What’s a lady like you doing in a place like this?”
:-)
Psssst.... Pay Dirt agreed with you in your dislike of Mitt; why are you picking on him/her?
Gee, now you even attack your own.
With every post you responded to, you were forced to reveal your true intentions.
746 meant as a reply to this post.
Typical unNeighborly insensitivities of your ilk re: not pinging Pay Dirt as you were talking about him/her. (Do you always go around gossipping about folks behind their back?)
Did you grow up in a home where to disagree on something was always a knock-down-drag out fight?
I am more & more amazed at some FREEPERS that to them any opposition or any disagreement is interpreted as you have--an "attack."
What? Didn't your parents teach you how to disagree minus attacking?
“If the anti-Mormon posters would even identify their own faith, it would be a step in the right direction. It’s disconcerting that they can’t even be honest about that.”
I’ve read a lot of these posts. There seems to be a fixation for LDS posters to demand denominational status.
The thing is, Christians think of themselves as Christians first. The Christian denomination they fellowship in is generally secondary. Most Christian churches have some core central beliefs they agree upon, which unifies them as belonging to the Body of Christ (the church).
Mormon teachings fall outside those core central beliefs.
Which candidate for the GOP nomination stands to gain the most if exposure of the heresies in Mormonism is squelch during the primaries?
Well that is noble of you MHGinTN volunteer to play devil's advocate.
One would think according to you MHG sense the liberals, as in democrats are considered heretics that the Mormons and them would have something in comment!
Really?
For holding true to Biblical Christian doctrine - we are to be banned?
Hey - I guess I didn't earn the right to speak out in defense of biblical Christianity in the United States of America.
I only spent 21 years in the Air Force as a pilot and fought in three wars. I bet you trump me with your petty little threats.
As I said, with every post you make - you show your true colors.
Did you ever read the verse that "God will not be mocked?"
Romans 3:8
Mitt and the Massachusetts liberals had too much in common for my taste in a presidential candidate of the Republican Party. Were the Rodham-rodent not on the swcene, Mitt would make an excellent Democrat Candidate.
[Keep attacking Mormons with your little gang and eventually you will join the idiots at Liberty Post.]
And your little dog Toto, too!
Yikes, someone has their panties in a wad. Reminds me of the good old days of Don Morgan when he designated himself the thread police and decided what could and could not be said.
Fortunately, my new religion is composed of making voodoo doll effigies of jveritas out of dried apples. I pin notes to them that say “Kick Me! I’m Insane! I’m jveritas!”. This makes me laugh a great deal (I started a Happy religion!), because I know jveritas will NEVER break his own rule and say negative things about another man’s religion.
I plan to worship daily at the jveritas dried apple head voodo shrine, and make fun of jveritas, BECAUSE THAT IS MY RELIGION! Of course, since I am also a presidential candidate, this makes it even more impossible for jveritas to ridicule me, because he would NEVER mix politics and religion and come out and say “hey, you are a flaming monkeyboy, FastCoyote” because it is against the laws of political correctness (and the penumbra of the Contitution!) to say ANYTHING BAD ABOUT THE RELIGIOUS CONVICTIONS OF A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. Please don’t let us down jveritas, accept my religious convictions as they are and let my Revelation stand for all to see!
Of course, this is all quite fun, making a religion out of mocking jveritas’ silly ideas and then watching him throw out insults because he can’t defend his position. We can expect the usual sputters of ‘bigot’, ‘cabal’, ‘gang’, etc. because when logic fails, what else is left but name calling?
But in our hearts we all know that when someone presents a logical hole as large as I have presented in jveritas’ reasoning, it really is time to slink away. But of course that won’t happen, that’s why I suspect I will need to keep the iconic “Kick Me I’m Stupid” jveritas religious doll for a long time to ward off the religious bigots who oppose my religion.
A lot more damage has been done to civilization by christians in history. Did you ever read any of the great essays of Bertrand Russel, on “Why he wasn’t a christian”
Just as soon as I toss my hat in the ring for the presidency of the United States.
You have got to be kidding.
Bertrand Russell was the most unhappy man on the planet.
