When Mitt Romney appeared last week (via closed circuit from California) before the Council of Retired Chief Executives meeting in Washington, he faced kindred souls: rich Republicans who had managed big enterprises. Yet the second question from the audience was whether Romney's Mormon faith was hurting his quest for the Republican presidential nomination. He replied that about the only people who brought up his religion were members of the media, an answer that simply is untrue.
Romney is asked about Mormonism wherever he goes. In my travels, I find his religious preference cited everywhere as the source of opposition to his candidacy. His response to the former chief executives that only reporters care about this issue sounded like a politician's tired evasion. Romney was either too obtuse to appreciate his problem or was stalling because he had not determined how to deal with it. Contact with his advisers indicates that it's the latter.

You must have dementia. I have called repeatedly for your exposure. I want you to espouse your beliefs. How can I belittle you if you are censored? Shining the light of truth on you is the best way to expose you for what you are.
Apparently I understand a lot better than you. You just said God is the null set. Then you said God does not exist. Therefore what you just implied is the null set does not exist, which invalidates your original definition. It’s this kind of sloppy thinking that permeates your discussions.
If I said that Leprechauns were a null set would that mean that Leprechauns exist? LOL You really need to take a course in logic.
Well whatever LeGrande. You have repeatedly claimed everyone else to be irrational, to be liars, cabalists, illogical, demented - and then gone on to put up half statements, summary judgments and other evidence of an unstable mind.
You claimed I was a failed wannabe lawyer who couldn’t get into law school, when I’m an Ivy Leaguer who has the scores to do whatever I freaking want (and being a lawyer isn’t one of them). What kind of weird oddball projection is it that you have to make things up about people which have zero relationship to reality???
You claim I have no beliefs and become apoplectic when I won’t bare my sould to you, who has no soul and is an Atheist Jack Mormon who believes in nothing? How sad is that?
So go ahead and live in your little sad atheistic world without hope, I don’t think anyone is listening to you anymore. Maybe as a failed Apostle of Hugh Nibley you can square the mental circles around which you run, all I can say is good luck with that.
Still waiting patiently for your Quantum Mechanical debunking of God.
Do you deny that your sole purpose on these threads is to trash the Mormon religion?
I know you say you are an atheist now, but did I read somewhere in these threads that you were once an LDS member?
It's the company I keep.
Moonbats and Whackos - we could start a Punk Rock Band!
HMMmm...
Seems some would disagree:
1 Thessalonians 4:17
After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
...except for that polygamy thing: it lasted about 47 years.
Well, longer if you count them folks (spit), rebelling against SLC authority, that claim since it is STILL in our Scriptures, and hasn't been OFFICIALLY removed by GOD, THEY are the only one's who REALLY follow GOD's commands!

If Johmmy had said this, the audience would respond:
"How...
rare...
IS...
it?"
Even YOU can answer your own question.
So, you’re a cell, good luck with that.
Let me know how that works out for you.
Yes. I served a Mission, went to BYU, was married in the Salt Lake Temple, both of our families are all LDS, most of my friends and neighbors are LDS, etc. I know what the Mormons believe : )
They are what I am made out of. What kind of alien life form are you?
Well, I’m not an idiot!
Well, that didn't take long. 3 posts I think. 2 more posts before you curse me?
You still didn't answer my question. If you aren't made out of cells, what kink of alien life form are you? I am curious because I have never talked to an alien life form before.
Ok...
Wow!
I’ll bet you get chosen last for the family reunion volleyball game!
I guess you had that burning in the busom thing when you asked GOD to answer your prayers?
Actually it is big cards tournaments, rook, spades, Pinochle, bridge, etc. My sister and I are a force to be reckoned with.
Religion or my lack of it doesn't seem to bother anyone. It is very rarely even a source of discussion.
I guess you had that burning in the busom thing when you asked GOD to answer your prayers?
Well that was the problem, I never did. I tried hard to get it but it never came. I studied and went to all kinds of churches and I thought for a while that the Taoists had it, but they didn't.
Then I decided to take an absolutely objective look at Religion altogether. The shackles came off and I was free :) Life has never been better.
Were you aware, at that time, of these verses in the Bible?
NIV 1 Corinthians 1:11-25
11. My brothers, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you.
12. What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas "; still another, "I follow Christ."
13. Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul?
14. I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,
15. so no one can say that you were baptized into my name.
16. (Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don't remember if I baptized anyone else.)
17. For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel--not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
18. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
19. For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."
20. Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
21. For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.
22. Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom,
23. but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,
24. but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
