“But if Romney gets the nomination, you can be sure that the press will enlighten us.”
And FR will be right there to add fuel to the fire.
On the other hand, it may backfire, as we saw happen after Perry’s pastor stepped in it.
When we members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints were laboring side-by-side with other Christians to pass Prop 8, I do not recall them saying we were going to hell, we’re not real Christians, that we are members of a cult. HOwever, after the victory was won, when it became convenient, some of them turned on us. This is played out here on FR day after day after day.
You have the advantage that few people know the details of even the theology of their own church. There are profound differences between your Church and mine, but most people will be more interested in the oddities of underwear than in different conceptions of the Trinity. You are fortunate that, for the most part, your church wears the outer garments of the evangelical movement. The more masonic touches that originally meant so much to Joseph Smith, have been eschewed, it seems. I do not think of your Church as a “cult”in the perjorative” sense, but it is as different from Catholicism, or even normative Christianity as the “albi” of the Middle Ages. Such a difference that they caused the outbreak of religious war in Illinois, and NOT just on the issue of polygamy. So radically different was your faith, or at least the perception of it, that the United States forced the territorial constriction of Deseret to the present state of Utah, and then finally to the threat of suppression of your church altogether. It is to your benefit, that most people are totally ignorant of that history. That most people will judge you all for what you seem to be, very middle-American.
HA ha!
The only backfire was MORMONism's; realizing (too late) that hollerin' OUCH! only made people decide for themselves to look up the TRUTH of the matter!
Sweetheart; those of us in the know have been against you HERETIC's from day ONE!
