Evidently you don’t disagree with my posts since you keep refusing to do so, so I don’t know what you find so much to write about and why you work so hard to pose some kind of challenge to them in appearance.

Since my posts are about Mormonism, it must be that which upsets you, although this is a thread about Mormonism versus Evangelicals and Mormon Bishop Romney, in the religion section.

By the way this isn’t an accurate quote “The entire right, and much of Christianity?” .

You cut the word “almost”, and capitalized the word “the”, while tying it directly to “Joining with the cult’s effort?” using the same trick.

“”Almost no one is saying it in those specific words, but almost the entire right, and much of Christianity is massaging it into a vague new category of acceptability, they are joining in with the cult’s effort to use the Romney gaining of the presidency as the breakthrough into mainstreaming the cult,””

Actually Romney is running for his religion with his Prophets permission, being your president advances that.

If you don’t see where I have disagreed with you, I doubt I will ever be able to persuade you otherwise. Of course you don’t seem to be quite so slow on the uptake regarding where I do, admittedly, agree with you.

Surveying your general comment style it really does appear to me that you simply needle people with amateurish sophistry for the expressed purpose of making the point that you really, really, really despise Mitt Romney and Mormonism. That’s great. If you get your way, the nation gets another four years of Obama and the death of the Republic. Such a noble goal, but at least it will stop those evil Mormons.

There it is again, an attack about ‘hating’ Romney and Mormonism, and voting, but no specific challenge to any of my posts about Mormonism.

Like I said, you don’t have to serve Mormonism and try to stop exposure of it, to vote.

And you seem to really like having the last word, as well. So have at it. I’m done.

Thanks, I will re-post my first words, post 7, it turned out to be very insightful.

To: newheart
You kind of hijacked your own thread there and made it clear that you want the discussion to be about voting for Obama or Romney, why didn’t you post it in News/politics if you wanted to avoid the religious aspects of the anti-Christian religion of Mormonism and Mitt’s lifelong devotion and funding of it, and even his role as a Mormon devoted to converting Christians from their faith, and re baptizing them into Joseph Smith’s new found religion and into followers of the Book of Mormon, and polytheism, and Mitt’s being the highest ranking religious leader and most powerful religious figure to ever run for president, and the only one that will become a God himself?

“How can you compare a mere Christian, an ordinary pew sitting Catholic, to the equivalent of JFK’s Bishop?”

Cryptic, ROFLMAO...what I was trying to say for the last time is that many articles are written to supposedly tell us about Mormons and are really designed to make us dislike them so we won’t vote for Romney. The first Amendment pretty well sums up my opinion, believe what you want but don’t impose your beliefs on me. I was brought up as a Baptist that could think for himself and not one of the current bunch that believes that they are the way the truth and the light substituting themselves for the true way, truth and light. Confused yet...sorry my writing is not like the real Ansel’s photographs F64 in black and white.

It is important that Christians know what Mormonism is, you seem to disagree, but you don’t need to go so far as you did to play down Bishop Romney’s prominence and power in his cult.

“It is important that Christians know what Mormonism is, you seem to disagree,”

No I don’t, but I would like it to be from a theologian that is unbiased and not from the TV ministry class.

I do question the timing of these articles. Early in the campaign yes, now no, it looks suspicious.

Interesting the Billy Graham doesn’t seem to have a problem with Romney and he is definitely a main stream Christian.

LOL, cute style you have there.

You start with Mormonism and then slip into Billy Graham supporting Romney for political office against Obama as though Graham supports Mormonism.

Billy Graham knows that Mormonism is a cult, and calls it that.

Graham, the Vatican, the Greek Orthodox, other Protestant denominations all agree that Mormonism is not a Christian religion, but it’s own created religion, a polytheistic religion created by Joe Smith.

“slip into Billy Graham supporting Romney for political office against Obama as though Graham supports Mormonism.”

Now I have you, this is not about Mormonism this is about an election to eliminate a threat to a country that allows you to believe in what you want and defends religious freedom. I never said anything about Graham supporting Mormonism, only that he didn’t have a problem with Romney as President. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME. Romney supports religious freedom. You obviously don’t...I do as long as a religion doesn’t try to impose its will on me. For example as a Protestant I could never submit to the Pope but I can respect him. I deeply respected John Paul II.
