Many naive Americans believe that Mormonism is merely another branch of protestant Christianity. Well that’s not what the founders and leaders of Mormonism believed.
According to its founder, Joseph Smith, and Brigham Young, Smith’s successor, Mormons are the only true people of God on the earth. All non-Mormons and their religions are “wrong, an abomination, blind, damned, of the devil, whores, not Christians, groveling in darkness, heathens, ignorant, devoid of fact, pagan and hatched in Hell.”
When Romney made a speech about his religion in 2008 he refused to distance himself from his faith and fully affirmed his Mormonism. Responding to critics, Romney said,
"They would prefer it if I would simply distance myself from my religion, say that it is more a tradition than my personal conviction, or disavow one or another of its precepts. That I will not do. I believe in my Mormon faith and I endeavor to live by it. My faith is the faith of my fathers - I will be true to them and to my beliefs."
Romney, the father of homosexual marriage in America and abortion funding Romney Care in Massachusetts, flip-flops on virtually every issue, but he is adamant about his anti-Christian Mormonism. Romney needs the vote of Christians to win election, but he refuses to “disavow one or another of its precepts.”
Nor can anyone think Romney is merely a casual or cultural Mormon who just happened to be born Mormon. He is an active Bishop in the Mormon church hierarchy. He cannot pretend to be ignorant of the teaching of Joseph Smith and the other “prophets” of Mormonism.
Below is a list of quotes from Mormon leaders and official publications starting with Joseph Smith down to our day. The message is consistent and clear.

Individuals who call themselves Christian yet are personally unable to assimilate the Gospel settle for religious bigotry.

Yes dear
We call tthose individuals “Mormons”...
we have a closet muslim in power now and thats much worse than mormons. If you dont submit to Islam you are subject to be put to death.

They aren’t worse, they are the same in very many ways and side with Muslims over Christians often. Mormons used to be the same way - submit or death (”Joseph Smith or the sword” is an actual quote) and behead people too. Then they realized that it might keep them from becoming a state...
In many ways Mormons are MORE dangerous, because they drag people to Hell, but, hey if you are only concerned with THIS life then that is your business, but stand aside for those who fight for souls.
Matthew 10:28
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Oh, no...their prophets are all perfect...it’s just that the records of their prophecies were translated incorrectly...

PERFECT!
Romney is a communist racist Mormon period.
"It would be bad enough if it stopped there but mormonism has thousands of "missionaries" all over the world - including Paris, France, where Myth evaded the draft during the Viet Nam era. The "missionaries will have a new and persuasive (to many) talking point, "just look, the President of the United States is a Mormon, it must be alright"."
I think this conversation might be the answer to something I've been praying about. God is good. And you both make an excellent point.
Oh Mitt’s religion is definitely NOT an irrelveant side issue.
I HATE Romney because of his liberalism. I don’t TRUST Romney because of his Mormonism. I know way too much about it to ever do that.
Worldview matters and his is royally screwed up. His politics are a RESULT of his Mormonism, not in spite of it.
Reaganaut, I read your post about the man who became your husband. You were blessed to find one who loved you enough to tell you the truth.
Use your head and your God given IQ!!!

Like me it seems that Reaganaut has chosen to use her God given conscience and wisdom...
Its our heads that tend to get us in trouble and in the outs with God...
“Your thoughts not my thoughts and my ways are not your way” says the LORD Isaiah 55:8
“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” ...Isaiah 55:9
Many are the plans in the mind of man but God’s way will be established.. Proverbs 19:21
There is a way that seems right to a man but in the end it leads to death. Proverbs 14:12
Wisdom calls aloud in the street, she raises her voice in the public squares; at the head of the noisy streets she cries out, in the gateways of the city she makes her speech:
“How long will you simple ones love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge? If you had responded to my rebuke, I would have poured out my heart to you and made my thoughts known to you. But since you rejected me when I called and no one gave heed when I stretched out my hand, since you ignored all my advice and would not accept my rebuke, in turn will laugh at your disaster; I will mock when calamity overtakes you—when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you.
Then they will call to me but I will not answer; they will look for me but will not find me. Since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the LORD, since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke, they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes. For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them; but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.” Proverbs 1:20-33
Many of the same posters can be found on both anti-Moromon and anti-Catholic threads.

Care to prove your assertion and list them? Several of the ‘flying inmans’ ARE Catholic and the rest of us accept Catholics as our brothers and sisters in Christ.
IOW, put up or shut up.
Religious bigotry is evil, pure and simple. Whether they’re flaming the fires of hatred for Jews or Catholics or Mormons it’s wrong and should be considered beneath the dignity of FR and modern conservatism.

Um...why don’t you tell that to the 52,000 Mormon missionaries who bash Christianity. And I never saw you make the same complaint when the LDS were on here for years bashing Christians.
However, YOUR bigotry and hate for us is beneath FR. Or are you a liberal who cries “free speech for me but not for thee!”
REag,
I absolutely and totally agree with you. Who here on FR is seriously debating that? What we are debating is, whose world view is more dangerous in the short run? A Republican (over whom the congress and party can have some measure of control) or Hussein, who simply (as the Joker says in Dark Knight) “just likes to watch things burn?” I mean, really, can we get past that NO ONE likes Romney, but if you don’s see a yawning chasm of difference between him-—I bet he can spell “Constitution”-—and Barry, then we might as well throw in the towel now and apply for annexation by Cuba.
Count me in for Virgil Goode as well. We need more articles about him. I will not be a spineless coward like so many people on here.

Keep on equating ANY religion to Islam, the most evil ideology the planet has ever seen, it just makes you look clueless and ignorant.

No, it makes her knowledgeable and well read, something you are obviously not.
You are the one acting like a DNC pawn, not Nana.
I’m voting for his increasing that problem.
No; Ma’am. We get ONE day off every week!

And even that isn’t a full day off. Only until 5pm. They still have to work from 6pm to 9pm.
GMTA, Brother!
