The question is still, why are you so obsessed with these people? Why not be free to believe what you will and let them be free to believe what they will? Freedom is what this country was founded upon. Religious intolerance was one of the reasons people came here in the first place.

#1...Have you EVER asked Lds missionaries & their leaders this same Question?...and if not, why the religious hypocrisy you're exhibiting?

If this is a "fair question," then it's also a question as to why LDS are constantly proselytizing Christians the world over.

#2...You seem to assume that ALL religious beliefs result in "freedom"

The apostle Paul didn't operate under a mistaken assumption:

To the Galatians: 4 This matter arose because some false believers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves. 5 We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.

You see when legalism is spread, what happens is EXACTLY how Jesus described in Matthew 23: 15 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are."

Legalism is NEVER content to "leave others alone" -- just like the masses of Mormon missionaries traverse land & sea like the Pharisees did!

Legalism leaves many in bondage; that is hardly "freedom"...

Could you please, after you are done with THIS thread, go over to the POLITICS section and ask those posters why they are obsessed with OBAMA?
