Generally, I guess I’d rather have a Mormon who loves, and is committed to preserving, the Constituion...

Guess if I was a pre-born baby, I can't see the difference 'tween a Mormon NOT committed to preserving my life (Romney) and a Bill Clinton similarly NOT committed.

If the babies are being dismembered and either flushed down the toilet or body parts are being sent in all directions, the constitution starts to look like a pager tiger, does it not?

Still haven’t learned to ping.

Read the admonition slowly - arguement STARTED on one thread carried over to another.

This is not the case BM

How many times do you have to have it explained to you before you get it right?

Well that’s certainly confusing. Since Mormons aren’t Jewish how can a Jew be a gentile? I mean that’s a common Jewish term applied to non-Jews.

“Badgering a poster on the Religion Forum by serving up a litany of his posts is “making it personal.” “

Please explain how post # 427 not a list of posts.

As was explained to you - the individual wanted examples - those examples were provided. Look up the definition of "badgering" while you are at it BM.

How you get all that from my comment is strikingly similar to my whole statement...thank you for proving my point!

Hardly rocket science. Combining your criticism of those who disagree with Mormonism with your statement that each person must follow their own faith leads immediately to the conclusion that you don't place much value on apologetics or evangelism.

My walk, is my own with the lord, you must be called to do as he wills in another way, God bless you!

Fine. However, if you claim to be guided by the New Testament, then you are overlooking large portions of it which call for us to defend the faith. I'm not suggesting (nor does the New Testament) that we do battle over every difference of opinion about theology but there are certain deviations which are so major that the issue must be contested for the sake of the one who is in error. (See post #68)

BM...you link to a 1972 article the Lds had on abortion.

The problem is the Lds church then in its 1973 statement for abortion allowed for exceptions; and continued to expand those exceptions as time went along! Even Lds scholar Richard Bushman admitted as much:

Mormon scholar Richard Bushman: There was a moment in the late 1980s when the church came down with an absolute no on abortion. And then very quickly it moderated – look, the health of the mother has to be taken into account; all sorts of other things.

You have yet to prove that here.

If you have any further questions regarding a simple rule - PM the mod OK bm. Perhaps they may be more impressed by your reading comprehension the I.

“if he’s the only one to stop zero, yes. you can help zero get re-elected, i refuse to.”

Sorry Charlie. A nomination of Willardo is a reelection of zero. I will be out fishing that day... unless Sarah goes rogue as a rep of the Rogue Party.

Other than that, you can work hard for Mitt, but you will just be tired when you watch zero win.

I’ve seen commentary that Catholics were singled out more by mormon missionaries than other Christians because the members didn’t generally have a good grasp of their doctrines and theology and could easily become swayed by the “Christian sounding” terms and arguements of mormons.

I can comprehend the simple rule.

As stated offering up a list of posts is badgering and making it personal.

I have seating here a Wasilla High School English Teacher that reads this the same way I do.
