Yeah, I know about their Smith guy and their man made religion but didn’t realize they are allowed to lie. I mentioned it is because that is all Romney does. He has the worst record and is known for his backstabbing and lies. So the backstabbing and lies are condoned by his church - it’s no wonder he lies like he breathes - it comes so naturally to him.
It does sound like Islam - we are right and we can lie and kill for our greater good/beliefs.
One last question - is this common knowledge about mormonism and I’m the last to know or a sorta not so well kept ‘secret’?
I don’t think it’s common knowledge, but it sure will be if Romney gets the nomination. I don’t think people realize what a liability his religion really is. The media will be sure to investigate every nefarious and bizarre aspect of Mormonism.
For the most part, Mormons are decent people, honest in their daily business. So are Scientologists.
So, the "secret" is one that doesn't even pop up in casual discourse. Most people focus on the polygamy part, and are never exposed to the details of Smith's history, etc.
As time marches on, Mormonism has lost most of the stigma it had when it started. Keep your nose clean long enough, and events of history are lost to memory.
I don't fault Romney for being a Mormon - it's easy enough to fault him for his mendacity, on its face. But Mormonism is "out there" as far as religions go. Way "out there."
I believe it's more a "secret" of ignorance. Most folks think of polygamy when they think of Mormons, but don't bother with the roots of the movement that uses "we believe in Christ too" to disarm folks and acquire some legitimacy.
