Wow. What an ugly attack campaign. I am so glad that I do not belong to a religion that preaches such bigotry.
>Think the Mormons are just a group of nice folks who uphold family values, clean living, and American patriotism? Think again.
Of course not. Mormons are a group of nasty folks who crap on family values, espouse perverted living, and spits on the American flag.
Who authored this anti-Mormon campaign?

It seems torty, that not only “some evangelicals” are getting the message about Mormonism. It is a common view among a variety of denominations, religions and even agnostics and atheist. People aren’t going to shut up and go away, wimply because you want them to. Calling everybody who does not kow-tow to your dogma and doctrine, “bigot” is not helping your cause.
I sure wish your Church would quit focusing on superficial qualities like tatoos or how many piercings an individual may have, or if diet Coke, or green tea is prohibited, and focus on moer personal responsibity. Have you seen the recent stats on bankruptcy, mortgage fraud and depression in Utah. The stats are even worse in Utah County where over 80% of the residents are Mormon.
As a people, thinking you can become perfect will drive you bonkers....or at the very least make you a very dishonest person, trying to project your goodness and hiding your sin. Only through Christ is one able to overcome sin. It is the good news of the Bible.
I’m sorry, I forgot you guys can become perfect after all you can do. Good luck with that.
It’s a little breathless, but hardly ugly or bigoted.
“’>Think the Mormons are just a group of nice folks who uphold family values, clean living, and American patriotism? Think again.’
“Of course not. Mormons are a group of nasty folks who crap on family values, espouse perverted living, and spits on the American flag.”
The problem with your misinterpretation herein is that you’ve missed the word “just.” The author’s point is that Mormons typically are nice folks who uphold family values, clean living and American patriotism.
But that there is more to the LDS religion.
And, at least from a Catholic doctrinal point of view, that “more” is that the LDS organization is not part of Christianity. In going from Catholic to LDS, one is not moving from one part of Christianity to another, but from Christianity to non-Christian belief.
That is Catholic doctrine.
Catholicism does not recognize the LDS religion as being a Christian religion. Catholicism does not recognize the LDS god as being ontologically the same being as the God Whom Catholics (and Christians) worship.
Catholicism doesn’t consider LDS baptism to be valid.
If you think it’s bigoted to say what is true about Catholic teaching about the LDS organization then I think you need to reconsider your definitions. Drawing real distinctions between things isn’t bigotry.
