I’m certainly not pro-Mormon.

And maybe I need a tin-foil hat... But I am starting to wonder if the left is deliberately creating mayhem at FR by posting articles/opinions about Mormons knowing that it will create divisiveness amongst conservative FRiends.

The only "diviseness" is the polling that somehow shows Romney in the top tier. If Romney were to win the GOP Nomination, I sure bet that a LOT of Conservatives would either stay home on voting day or vote for another Candidate. I know I would.

BINGO!

We’re already being accused of being a Moron hate site.

Verrrry suspicious.

Well, I'm busted.

Soros pays me $100.00 for every reference to magic underpants.

This has much to do with the fact the I often reference magic underpants.

In fact, sometimes I reference magic underpants several times in each post.

Wonder no more.


MORMON articles are either started by MORMONs; hoping to paint their heretic 'church' in a positive light,
or,
by Christians who are no longer going to let the MORMONs control the language and the spotlight.

Don't worry about the poor, offended MORMONs.

They will toe the line and vote CONSERVATIVE once again; no matter how much their poor little feelings get hurt by the truth they wish would just go away.

Of course, this assumes there's no faultline that already runs underneath Salt Lake City.

Did you know that for 180 years Lds have called ALL Christians & Christian sects...
..."Apostates" (how is that different than Muslims calling Christians "infidels"?)
..."corrupt" (see Pearl of Great Price, Joseph Smith - History, vv. 18-20 below)
...And ALL their creeds an "abomination"???

Does the following 1820s original vision of Joseph Smith, which a later generation of Mormons converted into Lds "scripture," sound like Kum Ba Yah hugging and embracing of Christians?

18 My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.
19 I was answered that I must join
NONE of them,
for they were ALL wrong;
and the [UNNAMED] Personage who addressed me said that

ALL their creeds were an abomination in his sight;
that those professors were ALL corrupt... (Joseph Smith - History, vv. 18-19, Pearl of Great Price)

There ya go: If that wasn't enough of a scorched earth Smith policy, he then went on to label all Christians and Christian sects/denominations as "apostates." (But I s'pose that wasn't "divide and conquer" strategy in your eyes, eh?)

Here the founder of Mormonism essentially tossed all Christians into one gigantic graveyard, and tried to erect a new religion on top of it.

Let's face it, if Smith's "diagnosis" of Christians was wrong, that ALL didn't commit apostasy, then no need existed for him or his restoration-from-scratch.

Mormons have had a tough road to hoe: If they stay faithful to Smith, they need to label ALL us Christians as...
...heart-wandering,
...power-lacking,
...putrid creed-adopting,
...corrupt-professing,
..."apostates"
...who fill the pews of the "Church of the Devil" (Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi 14:9-10)

But if they want to come across as "civil" and "tolerant" and not be guilty of bigotry by judging us all in one lump sum like Smith did -- and then still try to "get along" as a 2% religious minority in this country -- and latch on to Christians opposing liberals, socialism & the Democrats, then they can't be 100% true-believing Mormons, after all...because then they'd have to reject the founding vision upon which Mormonism is based.

...mayhem...

That's right...only it was Joseph Smith who started it a LONG time ago!

That "you must be liberal hacks" is sooooo lds. These discussions are generally on the Religion Forum not interested just stick to the News Forums.
psst, most, meaning the majority of what is posted come directly from lds owned press.

You ain't seen nuthin' yet. The more Pro-Romney threads that go up on FR, the more mormon posts that will go up on those threads.

If you don't think the mormon church is not backing Romney and now the liberal Jon Huntsman for POTUS, I have a mosque to sell you in Salt Lake City...oh WAIT!

Muslims and Latter-day Saints

Note: see post 182 for an idea of why the thread was locked.

If any of you has missed Jim Robinson's opinion of Romney support on FR, here's an example...Romney’s hands and teeth are drenched in blood. Innocent blood.

The left is messing with FR here, but it's actually THROUGH many of the mormon posters that this is happening. Mormons in Nevada re-elected Reid at the last second, and don't even get me started on RINO Romney. The Salt Lake lds church headquarters has just announced the Utah will be a "sanctuary state".

In the exact same way liberals have infiltrated the Republican party to destroy conservatism by RINOISM, Mormons are trying to infiltrate Christianity to destroy it !

LDS "prophets" Thomas Monson and Dallin Oaks with Reid and Obama

Hmm, not too bad a question, however...

I am one of the first to raise questions about the Mormon religion and whether it has it’s origin in the Bible or in the mind of Joseph Smith. I have been mostly silent for reasons I wont disclose here, lets just say, I should shut up for a while longer. But, it was surely NOT the left who started those threads at first in the last 10 years.

One other thing: Romney should BE the left’s candidate. I am from New England, and we all proudly watched Mitt debate Ted kennedy back then and were sucker punched when Romney came out for abortion and other leftist causes, and at least he was intellectually honest and did it BEFORE the election instead of AFTER the election like COINO Scott Brown. (COnservative In Name Only)

The Left should consider Romney their favorite republican, right after John Foster McCain.
