Your slams on their faith are so ham handed that they don’t deserve a comment.

Yet you reply with a comment, even if not directly addressing the concerns.

The impact of LDS doctrine in the area of public policy in modern American is negligible, no more than Catholicism or Islam.

Now this one was a funny comment. Oh, no, Islam hasn't had any more than a...how did you say that?...Oh, yeah, "neglible" effect upon public policies as it pertains to terrorism; as it pertains to foreign policy; as it pertains to... :)

America has nothing to fear from such people.

Fear? Who's talking about fear? It seems to me that folks who don't challenge error are the timid folks--while folks who challenge & confront error--at least the folks I've known, are more of the fearless ones.

What I find ironic is that Joseph Smith & his followers can promote bigoted ideas such as labeling every non-Mormon church leader as "corrupt" and every Christian creed as an "abomination before God." (And then have the outright audacity to claim, "Well, some unnamed personage told us so...so it must be so.") And Mitt Romney's great-great-great uncle (Orson Pratt) can call the church the "great whore of Babylon" and folks give 'em all a free pass.

But if anyone dare point this out, they are labeled as the "bigots." Lots of folks have no moral consistency; they operate only upon feeling.

Your attempts to link LDS scripture to some imagined public menace are as lunatic as trying to imply that because George W. Bush reads the Bible, Joshua and the battle of Jericho presages Bush’s desire to exterminate the Palestinians.

Again, you're clueless. The LDS "scripture" passages I referenced are not some obscure passage dealing with some obscure doctrine. It's the very foundation of the Mormon faith. If a Mormon doesn't believe in the restoration, there is no Mormonism. You can't say the same thing Joshua & Jericho re: the Jewish or Christian faith. You'd have to go to the Christian doctrine of the resurrection to find a doctrine as crucial as the complete apostasy-restoration of Mormonism.

So you are proposing a law against Mormon terrorism, that special kind of Mormon terrorism that exceeds the crimes of Islamofacism, - wholesome white men with high office ambitions.
