Agreed.
So are you saying quoting lds words is bashing?
You know what... I’m not going to fight with you. If you think there was no bashing and I was wrong to think so, then you go ahead and claim victory. I don’t care.
Actually the MSM will PUSH hard for Romney in the primaries beacause:
a) They know he is unelectable in the general election and no threat to their Dear Leader.
b) They know his conversion to Conservatism is probably fake, so even if he somehow won the general election, he’d be much more friendly to Socialist causes than a real Conservative would be.
Much like they did with McCain, the MSM will say that Romney is “competent”, it is “his turn”, and will try to guilt people into voting for him by claiming that not doing so would be out of “anti-Mormon bigotry”.
Then, the day after he gets the nomination, they will label him as an unprincipled flip-flopper, (true) and an out of touch elitist (also true), and a “relgious nut”, with the family dog riding on the roof of his station wagon.
That’s good, since I am not Mormon...

I USED to be a Mormon, but then God opened my eyes.
Okaay!
You know BYU was being "bashed" up & down by athletic teams they played between 1968-1978. Some refused to schedule them. Over a dozen black Wyoming football players got kicked off the team simply because they wanted to wear a silent protest of a black armband.
Why? Because of BYU's/LDS' racist policies in place until 1978. Now if your highest ideal is not to bash, then I suppose you would have been on the frontlines of Mormonism, defending their racist policies at that time.
But if your highest ideal is truth, something that love is supposed to rejoice in (see 1 Cor. 13:6), then you're not going to engage in reductionism & define truth-telling as only "bashing" -- because, simply put, some ideals (being against racism; being against idolatry -- elevating competing gods) are worth espousing despite the P.C. label of "bashing."
And, BTW, if you're so "anti-bashing," then why are you continually referencing other as "bashers." (Isn't that "bashing?" by your def?)
When my father was thinking about becoming a Mormon, every Saturday night, two Mormons would come for dinner. They were such fun, filled with laughter. Since that time, I have had the utmost respect for Mormons.
I can't see how that would be offensive to any Christian whatsoever and certainly not worthy of a response despite the very clear call to defend the faith from such slander and distortion...
Oprah certainly would never allow for that at all!
I guess we old fashion folks who love God and believe in his word are just not in style anymore...
Kymbaya!
PR is a wonderful thing...
Oh my! It seems your shorts are all in a bunch. LOL!
Excellent info...........
Ummmm...........
Yep
(If that's the best you can do response-wise -- to take temperatures of response levels & not discuss the issues...is that all you're here for then? Simply to post a label here, & note a perceived temperature there?)
That's all you can say!?!?!
Wow...!!
You addressed nothing....
Sticks and stones, I would think...
If you say so...
Why so defensive about a simple inquiry that in no way sounded offensive or confrontational?
