I have read some, and you are correct about it being more the way it is presented as well as the sheer volume of the same posts.
I never said that Mormonism is for me, I myself am Roman Catholic, but sometimes a quiet word or two does far more than loud incessant berating and brow beating. After a while, you just don't listen. And thank you for being civil.
I was raised RC. Now I am lapsed. However most of my personal beliefs are still RC. I have a ton of problems with MR, enough to rule him out, long before his faith. But knowing what I know of it, it is another reason to vote elsewhere.
That said, Faith informs everything we do. 24/7. We may not always adhere to it, but it is always there in our mind and has an effect.
Do I think Mormons are jihadistic Muslims? No. Not at all. I believe many are great people in many ways. But I do not want them in charge of the country. In the personage of one man or the entire LDS church. Because it is my belief, based on their writings, that their intent is not one that is constitutionally viable.
Whether or not they burn in hell is not on my radar. I simply don’t care. Their beliefs are their own. And again, it’s their beliefs that are a problem for representing the country. IMO - which is all I have to offer. Well, that and my intent to vote elsewhere.
“the way it is presented”
Interesting, so when John the Baptist stood at the castle gates and called the wife of the governor a whore, and him an adulterer.......you didn’t like the way that was presented?
So say when Jesus the Christ said to the religious leaders of time time they were pharisees, liars and thieves.
Or maybe when Paul preached, and the people rioted.......
Trying to figure out how you think this touchy feelly thing works?
People have different talents, is that concept foreign to you? Not everyone acts like vanilla pudding.
Then go for it!!
Be GENTLE with MORMONs so that they'll love you!
