One might wonder, if these cults had been formed before the BILL OF RIGHTS was written, whould we have the ...”Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;”...as it is written today or would it have been written to exclude these weird movements.

This thinking is dense to even ponder such contradictory thoughts it is called the Bill of Rights.

Some have such strong feeling against the LDS which has never been shown against Atheist or Satanist nor did the founding fathers infringe upon these views…

Yet some today if could would recind the same rights to the LDS as was allowed to those who are Atheist or Satanist!

I cannot speak for others here, but I have equally strong feelings against atheism and satanism that I do against the LDS. Although, I do think that Satanism is less of a threat than the LDS, because it is so obviously against Christianity, whereas LDS doctrine tries to place itself within Christianity while maintaining contrary beliefs.

Freedom of religion is a good thing, but freedom of religion does not mean I have to agree with you, or that I have to let your beliefs go unchallenged. And you, as an American, have the right to believe as you wish, I also have a right to speak out about your beliefs.

Ain’t America great?
