Ezra Taft Benson was a former head of the Mormon Church. These folk have a wonderful social system, and take great care of the tithing members of their "stakes". He expounds quite well here, on Gum'ts role.

Unfortunately, The Mormons also believe there is more than one God, and that Jesus failed to accomplish His mission... As a Bible thumping evangelical, I strongly disagree with them.

Mormons are fiscal and social conservatives, but, IMO, their theology belongs in the "rat poison" category. 90% of its content is wholesome food, 10% is the active poison. You die when you partake of it, but never see it coming!

Jonestown was the site of the "kool aid" massacre... Also deadly to your health... Your choice of nom dujour is interesting!

As a life-long and active member of the LDS Church, I have heard the "more than one God" accusation before, but I honestly have never heard the "Jesus failed..." bit. Whence cometh this nonsense?

As I explained before, - I thought it would be interesting to see the reaction to a great conservative essay, without mentioning the authors name. -- The posting page allows that to be done, "without references".

What's the harm in posting a piece that stresses principle over politics and challenging others to debate the ideas, not the personalities?

If you know who wrote it then you don't know whether they mean it or they are just 'preaching to the choir', making them hear what they want to hear.

You two are making my point.

It is interesting to see this type of reaction to a great conservative essay. Thanks.
