The overall tone of the article is to demean and to ridicule a belief system of some 13 million people. (There approximately that many Jews in the world.) I suppose it would it be OK to compare their concept of God to an offensive caricature from a comic book. But wait, the author might have to get a strongly worded letter from B’nai B’rith or the ADL, which would be embarrassing.

Bigotry takes on a lot of forms. Smug disrespect is one of them. This article will be used to provide intellectual justification for intolerance.

Only a Mormon would believe there are 13 million people who believe Mormonism.

There most certainly are NOT. The LDS Church might have that many on there rolls, but at least half that number are missing, inactive, already dead or too young to understand. The 13 million number is NOT the number who believe in Mormonism.

S.P.A.M. is the Society for the Prevention of Anti-Mormonism. Our goal is to highlight anti-Mormon activity and expose it for what it is: hate. We do this by posting accurate information to counter anti-Mormon lies and disinformation, with good humor and charity. Our motto is “Truth is not a tactic.” We wholeheartedly believe that the Holy Spirit is the ultimate arbiter of truth and that he bears witness of it to those who sincerely seek it. All we have to do is tell the truth and leave the rest to the Spirit of God.

Spamlds, is represented on Free Republic by Greg West, a former freeper going back to 2002. In 2007, I quit FR in protest of the growing anti-Mormon activity related to Mitt Romney’s campaign. I have since reconsidered my position and taken a stand for the Church online at www.spamlds.org. I have continued to visit FR for news and current events, though I have not had an active account with which to post. Seeing that the anti-Mormon activity persists, I have decided to step into the fray once again.

I am a politically conservative libertarian. However, my views are that both Republicans and Democrats represent two facets of a political “Babylon” that must ultimately collapse from corruption. When that system fails, the world will discover that God has prepared a place of safety and refuge from the storm via the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is because the Church possesses this power and authority that it faces opposition from sectarians and secularists.

Well, at LEAST you are honest about where you are coming from!

To quote your post, Bigotry takes on a lot of forms.

The LDS church has a wellspring of bigotry to account for, starting with Joseph Smith and continuing on to the present. Your missionaries and members are STILL claiming as Smith claims, "19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”

History of the Church, Vol. 1, Chapter 1-19

To quote you again, Bigotry takes on a lot of forms. Smug disrespect is one of them.

We are looking forward to "good humor and charity" from your posts. The "smug disrespect is already evident in them.

Unless y'all get figured out who Jesus REALLY is before this life passes, you will have much worse waiting for you...
