Way to sow the division amongst fellow believers in and followers of Christ. A well known, popular conservative calls for unity and a rebirth of faith in this country and just a few hours later you’re already shooting holes in it.

Joseph Smith did not call following Christ an abomination. In answer to his prayer and his query of which of the earthly churches to join, God the Father and His son, Jesus Christ, appeared to the 14-year-old Joseph and spoke to him, telling him to join none of them. They told him that the creeds of the churches were an abomination.

For the sake of unity and furthering the conservative cause and saving our nation, we should be focusing on our common ground and our common cause, not fomenting division.

Mormons believe in, worship, and follow Jesus of Nazareth, born of the virgin, Mary. Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah and the savior of all mankind. He atoned for and died for our sins. He was crucified, died and then on the third day he rose from the dead. He lives. We read the Holy Bible to learn of him so that we may better follow him and be his disciples. For the purpose of working together to save this nation from the threats which it faces, both external and domestic, that should be Christian enough. It was for the coalition of groups who united in California to pass Prop. 8. And that should be the example of the kind of success that such unity can bring.

Your response to my post is one of the nuttiest ones I've ever seen.

Are you sure you are on the right thread?

BTW, you guys have entirely too many Jesus statues around for my comfort. I'd like for you to try just pictures for a while, OK?

That'd bring more unity Fur Shur (if that were the point you were making).
