Are you saying that a President who was likely to start speaking in tongues in the middle of a heated state of the Union, or in times of duress, shouldn’t be questioned in depth about that?

I have been a Mormon all of my life and I've never seen/heard a Mormon "speak in tongues".

Additionally, many other Christian faiths believe in "speaking in tongues".

Your vile attacks grow even more vile. If you are representative of the Christian faith, I'm not sure why we Mormons are so quick to defend our association with the term Christian.

Most Mormons in the United States are Republican and quite conservative. You continued attacks against a significant portion of the conservative movement really have no place on this conservative POLITICAL forum. (See that this thread happens to be in the News/Activism forum.) I'm sure that there are a great many anti-Mormon forums where your behavior would be welcome and somewhat appropriate.

Well ya know, Spiffy, we Orthodox Christians have been trying to figure this one out, also! ... "I'm not sure why we Mormons are so quick to defend our association with the term Christian." Spiff

If Mitt Romney were a snake handling fundamentalists, I wouldn't vote for him because I know how off the wall that sect is because of first-hand witnessing their foolishness. But I wouldn't yet go so far as to say they're not a Christian sect. Now, with a few months of exchanging with Momronism Apologuists at FR, I wouldn't vote for a devout Mormon for President. They insist on being called a Christian se- ... no, they insist they are THE ONLY TRUE Christian sect. Mormonism calims Mormon baptism either in person or by proxy is the only way to complete one's Salvation. That makes him disqualified for being a devout Mormon of such specious heretical claims.

I don’t think that anyone who speaks in tongues has the right to get testy with the Mormon religion, because the way I see it, tongue speakers always have to do lotts of justifying to make it seem like their practice is mainstream. It certainly isn’t a given that speaking in tongues is a real form of worship, it is very debate-able. It’s not a given at all that this is a real form of worship. Actually, I think the pracitice is disengenous, but I figure who is perfect anyway?
