I have the same question, now, as an adult, about religious folks. Let's just defeat the communists first. We can kill each other later.
Or, as in Islam: Let's just defeat kill the communists Infidels first. We can kill each other later.
Interesting, that given the Mormon church 180-year history of referencing ALL Christian sects as...[see chart below]...why don't posters like yourself be a little more specific and direct such a question to the Mormon church itself????
If you were of a given religion; and if the religion of that candidate specifically condemned you and your religion -- as the Mormon church has done of Christian sects -- would you find that "inspirational" to say "amen" by voting for that representative Mormon candidate?
BTW, many of the references below are Lds sacred "scriptures" -- vs. just some Mormon leader condemning Christians in some tabernacle sermon somewhere...IOW...we're not simply referencing some obscure leader's opinion...we're talking about Lds "sacred scriptures" which can't easily be thrown under the political bus!

| Mormon church the only ‘Christ-sanctioned’ church on earth: “…the foundation of this [Mormon] church…the ONLY true and living church on the face of the whole earth” [Obvious ‘scorched earth’ implication: All other churches are false and dead] | Lds “scripture” Doctrines & Covenants 1:30 |

| “In 1952…the first official proselyting plan was sent to missionaries throughout the world…It included seven missionary discussions that emphasized…[four topics, one of them being]…THE APOSTASY and Restoration…” [This makes it 60 years that Mormon church missionaries, now numbering 55,000, have formally emphasized in its training & door to door saturation a priority in bashing the worldwide Christian church as “apostates” (100% AWOL)] | Our Heritage: A Brief History of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints p. 116, 1996 |
The answer is the indians were never friends with each other to begin with. Tribes were/are historically long-term enemies with each other. this whole idea that they all got along swell and wonderfully until white guys got here (actually came back, dna evidence shows we were here before the asians came over the aleutian bridge), is just bull puckey.
It’s called multi-tasking.
Worried more about FREEDOM than SALVATION?
