Please clarify for me. Sometime ago I asked you:
“In your world, should you be able to refuse service to a Mormon patronize your restaurant because of his or her religion?
Should you be able to refuse to hire a Mormon because of his or her religion?
Should you be able to refuse to rent your apartment to a Mormon because of his or her religion?”
To which you responded:
Yes, I just might,
I am forbidden to ask their religion in those circumstances, but if they are forthcoming with the information and there is another suitable person who is also waiting for a table or renting my apartment or seeking employment, it may very well sway my opinion.
Cold hard fact brother.
It is MY restaurant and MY apartment and MY business. I can judge suitability on any criteria I choose. I may not let anyone know what criteria I based my decision, but it is still my decision.”

Is that an example of “anti-mormonism” or “anti-mormon?”
Neither. I said it might sway me. The reason it would sway me is the way it is presented. If someone tried to rent my property and said “I have an IQ of 250, as a way of trying to present himself in a better light (just as if he brought up his religious practices, I would hold the mannerism against him. You are assigning motives to my post. It is against the rules of the religion forum.
Also you are not to continue discussions from previous threads.
What do rules mean to you?

It looks like discrimination to me just like it was for Black’s in the 50’s.
If in Utah some of the questions one might asked if LDS is that of conviences of Temple and meetinghouse or types of school and therefore that knowledge would be known.
If one were to go her resturaunt and not have coffer or honor the words of wisdom she might make do a phonephoto and when you appear again she would refused sevice!

You just never know their might be a grassroots who would like to run the LDS out of Utah.
I heard similar expression from fastcoyote, and maybe Utah binger and who know how many others have this agenda?
CC are you member of Christian Identity?
At one time this was true, but now, sadly, it is Uncle Sam's place.
YOU get the bills, the headaches and a little piece of the action.
You serve him at HIS pleasure - don't forget it.
