Bill Keller infamously announced in 2007, "If you vote for Mitt Romney, you are voting for Satan!"
While expressing less vitriol in his delivery, evangelical author Warren Cole Smith said something similar in his recent article, "A Vote for Romney Is a Vote for the LDS Church."
Smith wrote, "I believe a candidate who either by intent or effect promotes a false and dangerous religion is unfit to serve. … A Romney presidency would have the effect of actively promoting a false religion in the world. If you have any regard for the Gospel of Christ, you should care. A false religion should not prosper with the support of Christians. The salvation of souls is at stake."
Mormon scholar and author Joanna Brooks spoke with Smith about his views regarding Mormonism. In the interview posted on religiondispatches.org, Brooks said: "I can understand from an evangelical perspective why you view our religion as 'false.' But why do you think we are 'dangerous?'"
Smith replied, "Let me ask you: is anything that is false not dangerous? Anything false is dangerous. Falsehood leads to danger."
Brooks countered by asking if other faiths he considered theologically "false" like Judaism and Catholicism are also dangerous. Smith said that those faiths are both different from Mormonism.

Does our Web host know of this pro-Romney sentiment?
(You do realize we've had pro-Romney zots of late, don't you?)
Sorry, I thought you were adding to my post.
100 wet noodle lashes for me!
Oh, cram it. I’m hardly “pro-Romney”. I’m anti-Democrat. You can save your 3rd grade, tattle-tale crap.
From your lips (and ours) to Gods ears!!!
The MSM would have a field day about that one
What a dark and loathsome thing to say about Willard ... who is white and exceedingly fair and delightsome because the Lord God did not cause a skin of blackness to come upon him! [2 Nephi 5:21]
You keep that up and you will wind up spending time and all eternity in the celestial cellar like all the other evil souls bearing the Curse of Cain.
/Zak
P.S. And whatever you do, don't ask Mitt if he believe the Book of Mormon is true. If Willard says "NO," he does irreparable harm to Mormonism, and if he says "YES," ... well ... you know.
Probably because you ARE those threads.
Jehovah Witness. Looks like I messed up on my H, should have been W.
As long as Im in charge of the TEA Pot where I wind up

Most churches today to NOT follow the “Jesus said HE was THE way. That path is lit by the scriptures and the Holy Spirit.
Lots of churches enjoy making up their own rules and regulations “in Gods name”.
He states there is only one true religion. I’m trying to find it.
He wants us to find our own way....

‘Twas a mere warning...if I wanted to “tattle-tale,” I would have pinged our host.
Sounds like mind reading to me. I guess you aren't familiar with the rules of the religion forum - or you don't care. It must be one of the two.
(But I would like an "in" on marketing that inward-judgment mind-reading contraption you got...Magic 8-ball, perhaps? I guess we can all see that since you said you disagree with the ELCA on their stance on homosexuality, you must "hate" them...using your logic, that is)
I certainly agree with that. My grievances with Romney regard his governance, not religion. At the very least the Mormons are not driving planes into buildings, sniper shooting our soldiers shouting ‘LOOK AT MY MAGIC PANTS’, they are pro-life, they marry for life, and promote fidelity, and don’t buy on credit and then hit the bankruptcy courts literally stealing from other cardholders legally.
Any FReeper can look at all your previous posts and see exactly who you are.
If you aren’t bashing Mormons, what else are you good for?
Oh jeebus h. kerrrissst! Now we have the crazy bobbsey twins that claim they’re Christians and have read the Bible 60 times....yet they don’t even understand what John 3:16 means.....AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWK! Outta this one, for pete’s sakes! Enough of their krap is enough!
