I’m game. My faith, LDS, has been trashed and distorted a great deal since Mitt Romney announced his candidacy. I know the media almost always gets large parts of religion wrong. Incidentally, a long time ago when encyclopedia sets were sold door to door, I remember someone advising a prospective buyer to check the entry on some subject about which they knew a great deal. Depending on how accurate the entry, one could judge the entire work. The same applies to media, as least as far as religious topics are concerned. You have the benefit of my doubt and my respect for Pope Benedict XVI.

It is rather ironic that people who no better than to trust the media on current events are more than willing to accept everything they have to say about religious teachings that go back hundreds or even thousands of years. It is a lot like the way the ‘Rats this week have suddenly decided that the intelligence community knows exactly what they are doing because the NIE said what they wanted to hear.

What many fail to realize is that the REAL ENEMY is not the Protestants, Catholics, Mormons or Jews, the REAL ENEMY is Satan and the left is doing his bidding. The left seeks to destroy our traditional Judeo-Christian culture and they are doing systematically. Catholicism has ALWAYS been a primary target of the left simply because of its size; Mormonism has been left alone for a long time because they are not as big a target, all of that has changed because of Romney (back in 2000, if Joe Lieberman had been a Republican, we would have seen all sorts of stories designed to make orthodox Judaism seem bizarre). I truly believe that the ONLY thing that can divide His people is Satan and I truly believe that the time is coming when Catholics, Evangelicals, Mormons and Jews are going to be sharing jail cells simply because we are believers, so we better start getting clear on who the enemy is.

That's an excellent standard for encyclopedias AND for such excrescences as TIME And Newsweak. Let them write about something about which you happen to know a thing or three and you're left with wondering if they ever got anything right in their entire histoire. ( A little French lingo there)

Fear not, I have no intention of believing what the MSM says about your guys.

And isn't my German Shepherd COOL? I like him more and more!
