One Nation Under Gods: A History of the Mormon Church
EdensideChristian.org ^ | 2011

Posted on 12/20/2011 11:29:15 AM PST by Colofornian

Founded in 1830, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was initially perceived as a movement of polygamous, radical zealots; now in parts of the U.S. it has become synonymous with the establishment. In reevaluating its preoccupation with issues of church and state, Abanes uncovers the political agenda at Mormonism’s core: the transformation of the world into a theocratic kingdom under Mormon authority. This illustrated edition has been revised and offers a new postscript by the author.

He’s a Knight of Columbus....they have levels of secret ceremonies complete with death oaths and nudity similar to the LDS sect temple ceremonies. I think maybe some of our threads are a little too close for comfort for this guy.

I thought it was funny....Besides, do you think Chris Matthews would hesitate during the primary ? Wouldn’t you rather see and hear this here, now, from me than then from him ?

I don't care what lurkers think of mormons.

It is obvious.


I'm more concerned that they'll read your posts and start to believe that all Christians are smug, self righteous, sanctimonious jerks.

Is you a Christian?

Are you worried about what folks might think about you?

Does FALSE TEACHING offend you in ANY way?

Can I post 3 questions at a time?

You are right. A 'true' Freeper would NEVER mock someone by using an obviously FAKED photo!

“That post is so stupid, illogical and wrong on so many levels I wouldn;t know hwere to begin. I don’t like communciating with bigots so let’s just end this here.”

You haven’t demonstrated anything approaching logic or an understanding of “right” or an understanding of the meaning of bigotry and you demonstrated you are intolerant of the beliefs of Christians, which is bigotry on your part.

I agree, it would be best if you would flee.

As soon as mormonISM stops claiming to be Christianity, I’ll give it a rest.

I have actually seen the theory on FR that the Pope is a secret mormon in a conspiracy with the Illuminati to rule the world. Because of secret handshakes or something. Does that sound familiar to you at all?

Please be careful when speaking about the KoC secret death oaths and nudity. There are Jesuit controlled albino monk assassins who frown on those that divulge such precious Vatican secrets on the internet, so be careful! And don’t forget the super computer in the Vatican basement with all the Protestant names and locations, always remember they know where you are right now.

FR is definately not what it used to be. These people give it a real black eye. I despise them.

I wonder if anyone could possibly be a stupid as this post makes you seem.

If you don't like it, get the heck out and take your little god becoming, celestial harem breeding banshees with you.

You still have not named one bigotry or falsehood.
When is that going to happen? You keep making charges, yet do not back them up.

You still have named one falsehood.
You still have not defended your beliefs.
You still accuse with nothing to back up the charges.
Defend what you say you believe.
