“You can’t oppose Romney and Huntsman without attacking their religion?
A cult is not a religion...
Well actually the dictionary definition of a cult is any system of belief, so technically yeah a religion is a cult and a cult a religion. And just because you turn the term “cult” into a pejorative to equate Mormonism with Jim Jones or Heaven’s Gate or some other such groups doesn’t make them anything alike.
You’re basing your understanding of the Mormon faith on what some agendized individual has told you to think about it. I’ve been on both sides of this argument and found the side you argue for uses claims that simply are counter-factual, non-historical, using out of context quotes, reliant on logical fallacies such as red herrings or straw man arguments, etc. I once used them myself until I bothered to look at the facts for myself. Indeed, most of the arguments that come from Mormon bashers rely on the same tactics Michael Moore uses in his movies to bash capitalism, the US healthcare system, the war on terror, etc. I’ve seen the exact same intellectual dishonesty and sleight of hand arguments out of both, I really have.
Anyway, worship as you please and allow others the same luxury without trashing what’s sacred to them. America is more mature than this. Our forebearers left other lands to come here to escape this kind of religious bigotry. We’re really going to revert to the 1600s and re-start that garbage all over again? Come on. It’s the 21st century. We’re a better country than this. And I think you’re a better person than that.
