[Or how bout all the accusatory postings about Mormon underwear, or Mormon doctrine, or Mormon communion, or the rituals inside a Mormon tabernacle church. (which I really know nothing about)
I saw hundreds of postings which in essence accused Mitt Romney of being not qualified because of these doctrinal differences.]
You do realize don’t you that the FLDS brouhaha would have been firmly wrapped around Mitts campaign right now, don’t you? And you do realize that the disaster of Romneycare is in part templated on Mormon tithing concepts? It is also obvious you don’t know a lot about the negative aspects of Mormonism, I suggest you go here and read the cries of anguish from those who have broken free.

“But go back and read all the vile postings which brought up things that some Mormon member did 150 years ago.”
Those vile things are in many instances part and parcel of current doctrines (blood atonement never fully went away), or show up as the FLDS child abuse. Are you saying that Abe Lincoln and the Civil War don’t have repercussions now because they happened 150 years ago?
Not as much as the plethora of homo child molester Roman Catholic priests who gave Communion, granted absolution, and conducted Mass.(many still do perhaps)
Again, I feel compelled to say this with every post defending Mormons, I love and respect Catholics as Brothers in Christ... and even married a devout Catholic woman and take my kids to Mass frequently. (I was born and raised a fundamentalist Baptist)
I am just astounded as the denial of Catholics who blindly deny the historic atrocities committed in the name of the Catholic Church....
while at the same time snidely pointing the finger at good and decent Mormons.
