“Don’t be ridiculous. If Card opposes the acceptance of homosexuality, then I support him in that effort. If we were talking about supporting him in converting people to Mormonism, then I wouldn’t support him, unless he was converting godless leftwing nutbags, in which case, Mormonism is a damn sight better than leftwing nutbaggery. “


This kind of a conclusion has its priorities all backwards. What does it matter if some leftwing fellow becomes a Mormon and then promptly goes straight to hell where he was going before? The priority of Christianity isn’t on good-living or having right morality. The priority of Christianity is the Gospel, which is about what Christ did for us on the cross, and not on what we allegedly do for Him. Built on this proper foundation, morality naturally flows from it, and the country is better. But to setup a Mormon on high as some kind of a defender of American values —when really not too long ago their leaders were damning people to hell for not being polygamists, and they still currently teach obscenities, such as the idea that Christ is the product of sexual relations between “Elohim” and one of his goddess wives— instead of keeping well away from them, as we would any cult, whether it be the Scientologists or whoever else who also agree against homosexuality, is to compromise the Gospel, which is the only path of salvation, regardless of how pure you live your life.

While your view isn’t “trolling,” it is short sighted and lacks discernment.

OK, think of it this way: which do you think would make a person closer to God - being Mormon or living a deviant homosexual lifestyle? We have a cultural battle going on where one dimension is the acceptance of deviant sexual behavior as normal. Those that fall for this brainwashing and accept deviant sexual behavior as normal have little chance of ever knowing God, and each deviant thing they accept takes them farther away. Then you have Mormons, who, while believing in a definition of God that differs from scripture, at least respect morality and FIGHT AGAINST this acceptance of deviant sexual behavior. If they are successful at convincing people that deviant sexual behavior is immoral, they allow those people to have a better chance at finding God.

Now, do you really believe that dismissing or even fighting a guy who is supporting a path that will bring people closer to God just because he is a Mormon is actually serving God? Because, if you do, then you have a serious inability to think logically. If you saw Card trying to pull someone from a burning car, would you refuse to help him because he is Mormon? What you are suggesting is no different.
