Did I miss it or did the real reason that some people will not vote for Mormans come out in the article.

Some people think that Mormans are not Christian.

"Some people think that Mormans are not Christian."

'SOME' people?

Let me ask you a (not-so) rhetorical question:

You are a Christian minister who is terribly conflicted because despite your Church's teachings you yearn to be with many women. This is the early 1800s, and you ain't gonna be popular if that comes out.

Then, in a stroke of a (sort-of) genious, you take a religious NOVEL that was penned by your Mother and rejected by publishers, pretend that it is your divinely-inspired translation of a standard Egyptian Hieroglyphic text that no one could (conveniently) understand at the time, and then pass off that novel as a new Revelation of Jesus Christ, leading you to declare yourself the head of the Church based on this new 'Revelation'.

Conveniently, you can now marry many women (though you will be lynched for propagating these views), but your 'disciples' will survive to continue your Church.

Now, if YOU did all that, would you still call yourself a 'Christian'?

Islam, Mormonism and Freudism all sprang from their inventor's desire to have unrestricted sex with as many women as he desired. All three inventors created new religions that allowed them to fulfill these desires. As crazy as it sounds, this is the background of these three cults boiled down to its most elemental part.

All else was just 'window-dressing'.

Occam's Razor still works.

As far as I can tell, they aren't. Not a slam; just an observation that Mormonism has a very different theology from the rest of Christianity. The Catholic Church and the most radically anti-Catholic Protestants have far more in common than either has with Mormonism.

I alway try to give people a fair shake no matter what their religion, but I would have some real concerns on this one.

http://www.eagletribune.com/news/stories/20050111/FP_001.htm

A January 11, 2005 article about an sexual assault on a child in Boston. Seems like mitt's gov. there, and the LDS church in Boston was not reporting child sexual abuse, and refusing to give information to the police.

I think the alliance is too strong and loyalty too strong to the LDS church. And I too can see why some feel Mormon are not christians. I heard also the same thing happening in Boston was happening too in the church in Michigan where mitt grew up.

sorry my vote is not going his way

You could have avoided the pussyfooting and said, "Some people think that Mormans are in a cult."

I meant to put a [sic] beside "Mormans," BTW.
