I don’t know if this is supposed to be controversial or bad, but I think it is entirely appropriate to have some knowledge of the Mormon movement; it has been a force in American history.

I am not a Mormon, and do believe the theology as I understand it is anathema to classical Christianity. But I would gladly accept a Mormon as a civic or business leader; they’re generally speaking good people. Not Harry Reid, though.

Mitt Romney, a Mormon, was head and shoulders above the narcissist currently occupying the Oval Office.

Yeah, I’ve got a flame proof suit on. Fire away. :)

My experience, too. Very good people.

Hey, I'm sure LOTS of people -- even conservatives -- could say the same thing about even Hillary Clinton...that she was "head and shoulders" above Prez Zero...

(That hardly requires endorsing Hillary)

Or if Harry Reid ran in 2016...yeah...he, too, could be "head and shoulders" above Prez Zero...might mean he could handle local "dog catcher" ... but hardly qualifies him as THE LEADER of the free world...

I would gladly accept a Mormon as a civic or business leader;

And hey...if Mitt hadn't put Fido his pet on top of his station wagon for a cross-country vacation, I, too, might "gladly accept" him as a candidate for local dog catcher...but frankly, not sure if Fido registered (who needs ID?) if he would vote for Mitt for that role...

Reid received an award from BYU, as to a great example of what mormons should be.
Reid is not disliked by mormons.

Amen...(See...we can agree)

Let's say, tho, SoFlo...

That you started your own religion.

Say that you labeled 100% of the Christian church...Protestants/Catholic/Orthodox...as "apostate"...and that your religion alone restored the ONLY true Christian church on the face of the whole earth...

And you labeled all other such professing Christian believers -- as 100% "corrupt"...

And you & your "disciples" spent tens of $millions in Websites, curricula, books, articles, speeches, missionary training labeling all us Christians as such...and even worse...

And THEN let's say that one of your descendants adhered to your religion...ran for POTUS...and poured dozens or hundreds of $millions into your religion that denigrated everything Christian and tried to claim we were ...

For example...see: The Great Apostasy [Mormonism labels ALL Protestant, Catholic & Orthodox churches 'apostate']

And then your candidate descendant approached all of us Protestants, Catholics, & Orthodox saying: "Yes, I believe in the faith of my fathers. Surely, that faith has inspired you to vote for me, right?"

Really??? (We were supposed to say we were so inspired?)

Reagan’s base was Mormon.

Not Harry Reid, though.

Harry Reid is an exceptional Mormon, a Temple Mormon, one of the more holy and true, and he is vetted to make sure of that before he is issued identification for it annually, he is personally interviewed every two years to pass that standard and to be allowed into those buildings of the elite Mormons.

Yeah; and it would REALLY be good for MORMONs to understand what they have CHOSEN to be basing their eternal soul's final destination upon.

Has been either been DECEIVED by what LDS, Inc is selling or is fully in on the scam.

Either way, I'll take a MARXIST any day over such a person.
