Debating doctrinal issues belongs in another venue, not here.

*****

There remains a very committed portion of the FR membership that discusses, debates, and often disagrees... on matters of theology and practice....

A huge "most" of it quite within the bounds of dignity and civil conversation...

Are you suggesting those contributors should not discuss the matters of their deepest convictions here??

I do believe there is a Religion Forum on this site. Perhaps you should discuss such issues *there* and leave political candidates out of it since they typically do not serve in the upper echelons of their churches.

If the goal is to make serious discussions about religious doctrine, not taking swipes at political candidates, the Religion Forum would seem like the perfect venue for that. But, my guess is that most of the Mormon-bashing is essentially Romney-bashing and they have no interest at all in making religious points, only political points.

If by 'here' you mean on the News/Activism Forum, you are correct, it belongs in the Religion Forum, or possibly The Smokey Backroom.

I would suggest promptly moving any such discussions to the Religion Forum, where they belong. The General/News forum is not an appropriate venue for doctrinal disputes.

There are too many here trying to use such doctrinal disputes as political attacks.
