The anti-Mormon bigots on FR make me ashamed of FR. Why don’t we focus on Obama and his failures, and Romney and his liberal ideas, and the destruction such ideas have wrought on this country rather than the pros and cons of Mormonism?
There was a time when there was much less controversy surrounding Mormonism on FR. Mormons as a whole (Harry Reid notwithstanding) are a conservative, patriotic people.
What changed all that, what created the divisiveness and the acrimony, spun off of the 2008 Presidential primary. Mitt Romney made a determined effort to dispel the notion that Mormonism isn’t Christian to aid his own electability, despite over a century of even Mormon founders stating that it isn’t. Partisans began to make the claim on FR, on the Religion Forum.
Then the refutations began, led primarily by former Mormons. There have been all manner of wild back-and-forths, the most memorable of which have come from Mormons themselves. I forget the name of the one particularly paranoid gentleman, but he’s still attacking FR and coming on as a retread from time to time, Greg something I believe. He takes the cake for sure.
Be ashamed all you want, but that’s the sound of free speech and freedom of religion. Does it “look bad” to people who really have no idea what’s going on? Probably. Stifling it leads to all manner of other things that don’t just merely look bad, though.
The Mormons feed on Christians, they seek them out to convert them to an anti-Christian cult.
You don’t support exposing and resisting that?
