In my opinion, a conservative political forum should not have as one of it’s purposes proselytising, or antagonizing conservatives of a different religion.
Now, maybe the LDS folks have been doing this for years, and I simply NEVER noticed it at all until I saw the LDS getting trashed. I hadn’t been paying attention until Romney ran for President.
But even if they are, there are ample freepers attacking them for it.
And so long as the moderators allow you to continue, I will assume that the purpose of this board IS partly to drive a large conservative population away from the political fight.
At least some others have a noble purpose of trying to save the lost.
Fine opinion, that is moot when certain groups, religions, or cults defy you.
Once that happens, it is "Game On" - and you are either a participant, or a spectator.
The Mormons that show up at your door in their white shirts and out of date ties will attempt to pursued. Fine with me.
Any group that wants to try and convince others of its legitimacy is allowed under the First Amendment, and even here on FR (a Private website supported by member contributions) - open debate is what we are all about.
God (the Real One) gave us Christians a teaching before He went back to heaven.
Matthew 28: 16-20
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
So that is what motivates Christians. Mormons are motivated by Joseph Smith.
I must ask Charles (and if you answered this on previous threads I apologize) - are you a Christian?
Thanks.

We are just SO enrapt with your opinions, assumptions and MOST of all your nobility, words just can't describe it. I'm sure the mods are justly grateful for your kind permission, also.
I dunno about you Charles....but I can multi-task..........
One man's trash; is another man's treasure.

That is not what I meant, nor is it what I believe about this board. I apologize for the words I posted, and publicly denounce them.
