>>My disdain extends from the gambling industry thru the mechanisms of the Lds church, which invited Harry Reid to speak to all its faculty and students in ‘07. <<
Obviously. Leaning towards the LDS.
(Hey, they
both are pied pipers to hell if you follow them...)
...the apostle Paul told the Colossians that your belly can become an idol...
...greed [the gambling industry
and non-recreational gamblers] can easily set up greed as their god...
...and then you have temple Mormons...like Harry Reid...who if he's a TBM -- a true-believing Mormon -- sets up
mankind in the land of idolatry [Mormon leaders have repeatedly called their followers
"gods in embryo" -- i.e. potential grown-up gods...which is just
more rampant idolatry]
But, hey, if you're a fan of idolatry, who am I to intrude upon your Mars Hill religious experience?
