Why is it that the first thing a mormon does is accuse someone they disagree with of lying and distorting the truth? Do they teach that as a tactic?

1. I'm not now, nor have I ever been, a Mormon.
2. I'm not now, nor have I ever been, a "Miss."
3. I didn't accuse you of lying or distorting the truth. I did say you disingenuously changed my question from being one about a hypothetical Mormon Presidential candidate into one specifically about Mitt Romney because that's exactly what you did.
4. I have indeed engaged in discussions about Romney and the issue of his faith many times. Most of the Romneyphobes don't like him because they think he's a RINO, but few have said they couldn't never vote for him solely because he's in the LDS Church. The ones that I have seen say that -- like you -- can't articulate a reason why they couldn't.

To: L.N. Smithee

Mr./Ms. Smithee,

I was not disingenuous in my response to you.
I was writing about Mitt.

As to participating in the Mitt/Mormonism threads,
I’ve explained it over and over and over for 5 months.

For your benefit and for the hundredth time... I will not
vote to raise a cultist to the most powerful office in
the land. The reason is that I do not want to contribute
to lending legitimacy to a cult. Nor do I wish to contribute
to leading people to a Christless eternity by giving them
the impression through that elevated cultist that his or
her false religion is legitimate. I don’t know how to be
any more clear for you. That’s it.

Even if Mitt were not a Rhino. If he were not friendly
toward gay unions. If he were not a man who seemingly
violated his own standards by not speaking out about
Marriott porn. If he were actually a conservative and
not having POTUS conversions about prolife issues. I would
still not vote for him strictly because he is a member
of a cult.

best,
ampu
