Well, I just thought that Joseph Smith’s being named An Apostle of Jesus Christ would be breaking news to most Christians. Maybe I’m wrong?

I won't quibble with you on this. You mean to insult Morons and denigrate their religion by removing the Caucus designation and moving this thread to Breaking News.

It is a low life thing to do.

It's news to me!

I thought Joseph Smith was a two timing, skirt chasing, con man with fancy pants.

Totally off topic, but I’ve always wondered what the difference is between ‘Breaking News’ and ‘Front Page News’. There’s ‘Extended News’ also. I have no idea what keyword is best to use when posting news articles.

Breaking news is the perfect place to remind people what Mormonism stands for and who Joseph Smith was, especially with all this Romney talk. I don’t dislike people who believe different than I, but Smith’s ideas were pure fantasy, and it’s hard to believe that people believe in his teachings. For one, polygamy is just another form of women’s subjugation and the bible says nothing about Smith’s alien beliefs. I grew up not far from Palmyra,NY where Smith supposedly received his “revelations”. The area, close to Rochester, was just ripe with a religious fervor that started out as a search for truth, but in the case of Mormonism, IMHO, Joseph Smith veered off course and either thought up ( maybe initially with good intentions, I don’t know) or dreamed a bunch of wacky notions he made into a pseudo religion, trying to make it sound legit by including Jesus but changing and diminishing his role. How can we believe the bible and then believe the writings of Joseph Smith? Smith’s followers didn’t even believe all he said, and before he was dead and buried a power struggle went on within his sect. IMHO Smith was the L. Ron Hubbard of his century.
