Nice Christian response.

Christ called his enemies hypocrites and vipers, but, then you would know that, wouldn't you, since you claim to know Christianity well enough to apply the adjective, or not, where you see fit?

What I'm sick of--frankly--are "conservatives" who compare the Judeo-Christian legal framework to the Taliban or to the toothless half-wits of Iranian Islam. That is a sweeping insult so shallow it deserves to be called what it is--idiocy.

Not to wage a flame war with Mormons but, seriously farmer18th, there are indeed a lot of similarities between the Prophet Mohammad and LDS founder Joseph Smith: Both had multiple wives (some as young as 13 and 14), both believed that an "angel" had given them the true account for a "true church" (as neither had much tolerance for other faiths). And each were persecuted by their respective neighbors, forcing a more zealous character and resulting, IMO, in a peculiar sect.
