Largest Donor to Obama Super PAC Calls Mormonism a 'Cult'
The Weekly Standard ^ | Apr 28, 2012 | Daniel Halper

Bill Maher, the largest donor to President Obama's super PAC, called Mormonism a "cult" on his HBO show last night, and said that donating money to that religion doesn't count as charity because it's "bulls---."

Well, Pope B16 confirmed a few years back the establish AND CODIFIED doctrine from the Second Vatican Council that the non Catholic followers of Christ are not true Christians and therefore cannot have legitimate churches.

Yep, the dogma of religious bigotry embedded in the archives of the “one true church.”

Living in glass houses and all that...

This is hate speech against a particular group of people that is politically motivated. Maher should be held to task and give back those donations and spend, oh, about 150 years in jail.

There might be some differences there but I think it’s more one of scale than intent.

Jefferson was entirely too quick to overlook the ‘little girl thing’ ~ and that sent tongues to wagging for a couple of centuries ~

“...JS & BY may have been a little unorthodox but at least they didn’t proselytize class hate, racism, treason and bigotry like KM & JW.”

“So you are a big fan of Karl Marx and Jeremiah Wright then?”

Whoa, that’s a stretch! No, I don’t believe in the moral equivalence argument that states “all paths are valid” and that all religions have equal value. Mormonism is especially intolerant of the validity of other faiths (though curiously silent about Islam, check it out) but I admit it is far less murderous on that score than Islam.

So..... explain, please the logic underlying your conclusion that I am a fan of Karl Marx & Jeremiah Wright.

BTW, your handle “Happy Rain” suggests you are female. Do some research into the treatment of women according to the practices of Mormonism, starting with Joseph Smith & Brigham Young, and then get back to me.

Fortunately none of that is against the law, but Maher does seem to be a nut case. Just a matter of time and he’ll be down there in San Diego and taking off his clothes for an evening run..............

Yes, Liberalism is the most cultish thing around. Anybody who has expressed an opposing opinion to one of them knows what I mean. They put their finges in their ears and say lalalalalala, then they run away and refuse to speak to you ever again.

The original premise was:

Who are more dangerous?

Joseph Smith and Brigham Young or Karl Marx and Jeremiah Wright?

Your post was only a little ambiguous on the question as you responded with Mormon negatives suggesting your answer was not Karl Marx and Jeremiah Wright.

If I responded to your response incorrectly it was not out of illogic.

BTW “Happy Rain” was a popular local TV personality when I was a little BOY:)

There is no doubt it is a cult. If it doesn’t believe in the Salvation of Jesus Christ for all of your sins, it isn’t Christian. Why should anybody deny it is?

As far as I know, the only thing Mormons and Islam share are polygamy.

Mormons believe in baptism of the dead, but I am pretty sure they don't believe in sex with the dead.

“I know Christians will tell me I’m not suppose to hate, but I actually hate you - you little pr*ck. Guess we have that in common since you hate just about everything that doesn’t fit into your intolerant viewpoint. “

No, wait. Wouldn’t that make you intolerant to him...?/s

But the last time I check the main LDS no longer practice polygamy. I’m sure there are some sects of Mormonism that still do.

Better Joe Smith and Brigham Young than Karl Marx and Jeremiah Wright...
...JS & BY may have been a little unorthodox but at least they didn’t proselytize class hate, racism, treason and bigotry
____________________________________________

Kid you mean Joey Smith and briggie Young with their dozens of sex partners, white supremists who hated black people for the color of their skin

and who murdered Christians because those Christians represent the LORD Jesus Christ who Joey and Briggie hated..

and crowned themselves king of the world and claimed that they would be president of the US for life..

and declared war on the United States

and still to this day send out 52,000 of their followers to proselytize class hate, racism, treason and bigotry from door to door ???

you talking about those unGodly criminals ???

Mormonism IS a cult.

So is Islam.
Imagine the two forming some diabolical alliance like the Japanese and the Germans of WW2.
