A series on the OTHER World — as seen by Mormons.
Using "World Series" is like saying the other "Super Bowl". It is a hook to grab people like me who really is not interested in Mormonism. What about Satanisim? I think that is a bit more dangerous than Mormonism. I don't recall hearing about Mormons conducting ritual human sacrifice on newborns. As an evangelical I would think you would be concerned about that.
I respect your religious beliefs, I happen to be Lutheran, maybe a heathen in your opinion but that's your opinion.
My argument is that recently Free Republic has come under full fledged attack by Mitt Romney hacks claiming we all "hate Mormons". I'm suggesting that your thread is aiding their argument.
As the primary comes closer there will be many independents voting as Obama is unchallenged. I don't think trying to paint Romney as a devil worshiper helps Herman Cain. You are making Romney look like a victim by twisting their belief system.
And most religions go through reformations, my former neighbors did not engage in plural marriage, they had Christmas decorations and seemed pretty normal, besides they didn't drink alcohol, but I know many evangelical sects that are extremely strict in regards to alcohol consumption.
I will admit I am not the expert you are on religion, I do happen to have a Degree in History and a Masters and will tell you that Mormonism is a completely different religion in 2011 than what it was when the Mormons fled Illinois under Brigham Young towards Salt Lake City. While the US Government had a lot to do with it by jailing polygamists, it seemed to work with the exception of radical extremists like Warren Jeffs and he's in prison for life. And I didn't see Orrin Hatch come to his defense.
