“”As of 2011, Lds members fleeced over $1.4 billion from fellow Mormons the past few years alone! Guess what? They initially didn’t regret “doing business” with them, either!!!”
And how much money did the Catholic church “fleece” from fellow Catholics?.....and continue to do so?
I’m sure bringing the Catholics into this is probably going to get me “burned at the stake”.....so be it.’
Pikers! Chump change swindlers, at best. For a real fraud, how about Bernie Madeoff - the man who “made off” with vast sums, sums Utahans could never dream of absconding with.
Oh, yeah - Madeoff was a Jew, not LDS.
Faith is NOT the issue. Whether a candidate is going to carry out the duties of office ACCORDING TO THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF THE FOUNDERS is the question.
Doesn't a person's faith tell you a lot about that person's character and discernment? Both of those seem to critical to fulfill the duties you're concerned about. Ignore at your own risk. I find it really troubling that the Republican candidate is a true-blue believer in a religion which can be refuted with a few hours of open-minded research. Either he is deceived or he knows the truth and is engaged in deceiving others. Neither is a good qualification for POTUS.
Assume you have a solid conservative (unlike Mitt) who holds weird religious views (like Mitt). Would you vote for this person if he or she was a Scientologist? Would you vote for this person if he or she practices voodoo and sacrifices chickens? Would you vote for that person if he or she wants to revive the Aztec religions and practice human sacrifice? Of course, somewhere along that continuum, you'd say no. Which goes to show that faith can be an issue, the question is where you draw the line.
Those of us who have been studying Mormonism for decades are aware of its insidious nature. Like a financial fraud, Mormonism is built on deception. It may not have the overt threat of Islam but it is just as dangerous to the human soul.

Is a couple of hundred million “vast” enough for ya?
