Thanks for the laugh of the day! I enjoyed it so much I popped a brewski to celebrate! (Sorry, Grig.) (Not really.)
Hey, the Giants are fixing to come on. This day is looking up!
“Your grandchildren will call Mormons Christians, and look at Mormonism as the third branch of Christianity alongside Catholicism and Protestantism”
You were almost making sense up to that point.
Also, at least as far as this Freeper goes, no vote for Romney. I may write in his VP if the choice is solid, but I will write in some one else for President—probably Coolidge. I have opted for write in or third party when better RINOs than Romney were running, though I have to say, at least he campaigns like he wants the thing. The childeren of this generation are wiser in their way than the sons of light.
That's exactly the problem as I see it. You are incapable of understanding the difference between the man and your religion.
That's an alien belief to the rest of us. He's just another politician, and he's remarkably lackluster ~ and there are some fundamental moral questions about him, and that's all typical of just about any politician, but he wants to run for President as the candidate of our party.
Typical fabrication.
wow
Did you really just speak that about the man who gave Massachusetts gay marriage?
more taxes?
state run health care?
Gun banning legislation?
bragging he was more pro-abortion than TED KENNEDY?
You really are delusional
Absolutely Not. Am saying that those who defend Mitts, by expressing that much if not most of the criticism is rooted in his belief of Mormonism need to take a deep breath and think first before expressing that thought.
As illustrated above, his pro abortion and gay "marriage" views is open game for criticism on ideology and facts. His religion has little nor anything to do with that argument.
Good luck polishing your turds.
He campaigns like he wants to win, and he has a team that know how to play the game.
It's a nice change, isn't it?
You kidding? Well the question answers itself. However, I am obliged to respond to your “attacking Mormonism” claim.
LDS sends 52.000 missionaries world wide to tell the rest of us we are wrong, Whores of Babylon, Apostates, Gracers and quite a few other names, pejorative or whatever you want to call it.
Most Christians do not know one thing about LDS while on the contrary LDS missionaries are equipped with the basics in Christianity and actively work to undermine those Christians faith and replace it with yours.
We seek to educate Christians regarding the history of LDS leadership, their stances, Church Doctrine and contrast it with Christianity.
They are distinctly different and we aim to keep our brothers and sisters in our fold.
If you find that offensive I’m surprised and would think if your faith in your faith is strong enough it should sustain you.
Now back to worshiping in my fallen and pack of lies faith.... Some leader of LDS said something like that. in fact, I could go on all day quoting pablum like that from LDS leadership
Uh, come again?
Are you claiming that I didn't pop a brewski?
You have an opinion and others can have differing opinions.
What's wrong with that?
I don't care whether you go to hell or not - only that you and I can agree today on universal principles...the Ten Commandments.
Do we necessarily recognize the same divine entity/trio/passel/historic time line?
No.
And, again, what's wrong with that?
My fate in the afterlife is MY business.
And, over a whole lot of years I've had only positive dealings with Mormons...in large part because I don't care whether or not their particular belief sructure matches mine.
I’m dismayed about how politics have become. It has become quiet clear that both sides republican and democrats play games and betray the people of the country. Both sides have taken us a step toward bigger and bigger government. This is why the tea party began. And now both sides are bad. It has become Rinos and Progressives. They all hate the tea party type conservatives. The whole scenario is backwards now. Romney is not the right guy. There is no savior either. Romney at this moment is a bit of a unknown as to how he will govern just like Obama was. He has a really bad record. Should have been laughed off stage. Primaries were stolen from Conservatives. Things have gotten crazy. Romney is no contrast to Obama.
Frankly it's highly unlikely things will play out that way.
Now, that business about who tries to assassinate a President. History has it that ALL actual or attempted assassins have been LEFTWINGTARDS ~ even the one who claimed to be just a job seeker.
GRIG is telling us that "- If there is an assassination attempt on him, it will either be by the Chineese, or by some religiously motivated nutjob (Islamic or Evangelical)" ~ if I were to take this as standard Mormon thought on the matter that means the prediction is that Leftists will stop trying to kill Presidents and that job will be taken up by individuals in groups that've NEVER gotten involved close enough to make a hit ~ to wit, the Chinese, the Evangelicals, and the Moslems.
Seriously, I don't think history changes that way, and why would the Chinese ~ who own hundreds of thermonuclear tipped intercontinental missiles bother to assassinate the President? As an Evangelical and with numerous Chinese and Moslem friends and associates, I gotta' tell you Grig is really off base here.
Oh, yeah, and about his casual reference to Evangelicals and Moslems being nutjobs ~ gotta' tell you the Moslems got their 5% criminal class and terrorists, but the Evangelicals don't. Grig should spend some time studying terrorists and Presidential assassins so he can get a better idea of who does this stuff ~
Protestant Baptism is not identical to Catholic Baptism
Baptism according to the Bible is immersion by those old enough to make a conscious decision to repent of their sins and believe on jesus Christ
Infants can do no such thing.
It was one Mormon sending a shotgun shell bomb to another Mormon in the area over the issue of a woman.
Yup, yup, yup ~ and everybody working in that post office was a Mormon, and this problem was not a new thing in their experience and said so.
I know who sends bombs by mail in Provo and how stupid they come. He put his name and address on the package.
He's real lucky no one got hurt.
If I post a comparison of scripture in comparison to Mormon books and literature, tell me why I should see it as christian.
I, in comparison to the scripture, see Mormonsim as blatantly pagan in nature. It differs not a wit to paganism.
If I'm “abusing” freedom of speech by pointing out the differences, so be it.
But, then I would say it is you that, in your original thinking the 2nd amendment was silly, still don't understand what it means.
If Mormon's decided they weren't going to call themselves christian anymore....fine, end of debate.
You need a thicker skin....if you're going to embrace free speech.
I don't find it coincidental that your post occurs now that there is a Mormon running for the Presidency.
Actually, if find it ironic, if not too perdictable.
All of this has been discussed again and again.
Yet on every political thread the Mitt Haters bring up their same wild charges again as if they are being made for the first time and have never been responded to.
It is this willful feigned ignorance, and this unwillingness to debate honestly and rationally that points to religious bigotry as the motivating factor.
If your original post was about inflating Rodney and LDS you are seriousl mistaken. Sure there are a few who disagree wig Romney primarily for his religious beliefs alone.
However, by far and large most of us disagree with Mitt and his record as we know and fear of what that past is in regards to prologue.
I can never think of LDS and find plenty of problems with Mitt.
There's believer's baptism, and then there's the obligation of a Christian to bring his family to Jesus and Jesus said..... which is why Catholics do infant baptism.
Their explanation is scripturally sound ~ no need to argue with it ~
