Wow. I feel like I just stepped into a big pile of dinosaur dung.
We all have a common enemy that we should be focusing on, and that would be the Muslims who want to conquer the world by killing all people who are not Muslim.
We have enough trouble coming from the Whitehouse without beating up on each other because of religious differences.
Mr. Robinson, I don’t know what your religious affiliations are, and I really don’t care. But never, in my life, have I heard such foul words about a religion (”Mormonism”) from a person in public life, who has the opportunity to be an excellent role model.
Although I respect what you are doing here on this site, Sir, I’ve lost my respect for you as a person.
“But never, in my life, have I heard such foul words about a religion (”Mormonism”)”
Kind of shocking, isn’t it? This is one place where, in the 20th century, aggressive, in-your-face bigotry is condoned and welcomed. I’ll never forget, during the primaries, when some of the intelligent conservatives on National Review and Fox began to see the really nasty anti-Mormonism bubbling up from the depths against Romney. They couldn’t believe it still existed in the US.
FR is a useful place because you can find everything of interest to conservatives in one place. But, in many ways, it confirms all the worst stereotypes about Conservatives. And that’s unfortunate.
Care to show exactly where Jim bashed Mormons? From what I can see, he made a basically fundamental statement - that in every religion, there are those who go against the prevailing flow of that group (and I do agree that Mormons have a largely conservative bent, especially on social issues), and he said that specifically in reference to Romney being pro-abortion in the past when he ran against Kennedy for MA Senate. If you consider such to be bashing and an attack on a religion, methinks YOU are the one with a name-calling problem here, not Jim.
Can you back up that comment? Please provide quotes. I've never seen Jim say any "foul words" about the Mormon religion.
That's because you did. I've never said a word about "Mormonism" on this thread or any other. I can't stand the lying two-faced, two-bit political whore Mitt Romney because he's an abortionist, gun-grabbing, big government socialist and that's the truth. Now it's just too damn bad if you think that means I've said something bad about Mormonism, because I didn't. Thank God Mitt Romney is not the face of Mormonism.
So, you're willing to stereotype all Muslims but you defend every Mormon down to Romney? (and Huntsman & Reid, too?) Many Muslims are conservative and anti-terrorist, but it's clear you want to deflect the fact that Lds daily go on the offensive against Christians.
Mormon missionaries head out to 60-80% of Christian homes in many regions of the country/world -- but not a word from you about why Lds missionaries won't leave Christian households alone and only focus on other religions. (I thought you're the "common enemy" language guy? Any lobbying on your part to the Lds Missionary department to call off the tie & backsack bicyclists from those you don't regard as your "enemy?" If not, why not?)
...without beating up on each other because of religious differences
Yeah, MF, please post your a copy of your e-mail sent to the Lds missionary department re: your objection to 60,000 Lds missionaries preaching door-to-door worldwide about a so-called "universal apostasy." Isn't this slanderous behavior on the part of Lds?
And what about your tithing $ that goes to put Joseph Smith - History into umpteen different languages? Doesn't that label all Christians as corrupt professors? Doesn't that label all Christian creeds as "an abomination" to the Mormon god?
This daily Mormon "beating" up on Christians in word & print as so-called "apostates" sounds closer to how Muslims regard Christians -- for they, too regard us as "infidels."
