Would you betray your God for the sake of your country, or betray your country for the sake of your God?

Just wondering.

I’m sure most everybody, Mormons included, can’t see any realistic situation where there would ever be such a conflict requiring such a choice, unless perhaps if Obama is elected again. Mormons have a track record of devotion to the ideas of the constitution. Paranoid religious bigotry like this would disgust the founding fathers.

Only a mormon whould even consider that a choice. Why would any citizen even think of voting for one for POTUS?

Fail, Grig. If the LDS were so devoted to the constitution (written by apostates without the ‘priesthood’, then why did Smith violate the first Amendment? Why did he want to set up a theocracy? Why did they keep practicing polygamy long after they were told to stop by the US gov’t? Why did Young set up a theocracy.

And why are the LDS such bigots against those who use their first amendment rights to speak out against something?

So where any of us ‘antis’ hate Mormons? C’mon if we are ‘bigots’ prove it.

Stop drinking the kool-aid

You are right, Grig.

LDS church vs. US Constitution is a false dichotomy.Mormons are fully committed to preserving the liberties that the Constitution enshrines.

Best,

Wonder no more:

I hereby declare my intention to submit to those laws..."
