Its the special underwear to protect you from demons, so you can be a got thing... Not exactly nuclear football material.
It is not bigotry to call Mormonism a cult, Mormonism teaches another Jesus. Paul warned against this and is it just a coincident that it was an angel who revealed everything to JS? Did not Paul warn that ever if an angel came with a different Jesus not to believe them?
Hell no. I'm more mature than that.
LOL...I knew ya couldn’t resist!
I couldn’t get a close up on the waist band...does it read “Spiritually Magical”?
Because it's secret and the magic prevents it.
Duh.
I’m Jewish and I think all of Christianity is a cult. However, I can vote for people who identify themselves as Christians.
I’m a Catholic and I’d be very reluctant to vote for a Mormon president (they always show up at the door trying to “convert” Catholics - and in fact, in Catholic countries, they are told to lie about their beliefs so they seem like just some ordinary kind of Christian group inviting people to meetings).
That said, his biggest problem is that he is a raving statist. But I think that’s typical of Mormonism, which was conceived as a theocracy where Joseph Smith and Brigham Young and their successors would rule everything, and in fact it took the US Cavalry to make them back down. Utah was not allowed to join the Union until the Mormons agreed to accept American law, particularly regarding polygamy.
As long as the candidate shares my political/economic views it doesn’t matter much to me if he’s a Protestant, Jew, Catholic, Mormon, agnostic, etc. But I do have my line in the sand — islamics. And militant atheists. And black nationalist crypto islamic kenyans. I suspect everyone has their own line.
I wouldnt vote for Romney even if he wasnt a Mormon..
Exactly. I don’t want to vote for Romney because he doesn’t appear to have a line in the sand. His views change with the wind and that makes him untrustworthy. I couldn’t care less that he is a Mormon.
Mormons have little tails, too. About a foot long.
FORKED tails. I’ll bet you didn’t know that.
Actually, all of our Presidents have been heretics.

I agree; it’s well documented that Mormons are still violating anti-polygamy laws and I am more than sure that there is still sick stuff going on, inside those compounds.
Testy, wow!
Now If I knew Mitt Romney personally I might like him but I believe there are no circumstances under which he be a fine president. He is nothing more than a butt boy for the Northeast, moneyed, progressive, country club establishment Republicans who are Republicans only because their families have always been Republicans. These type need to be removed from influence in both the Republican Party and the country as a whole.
From the Urban Dictionary:
Butt boy: A servile underling. Especially one who is also a sycophant. A suck up or brown-noser. Synonomous with "toadie" or "stooge." A butt boy does his Master's dirty work.
Not really. The poster is talking about religions vs. cults, not different religions. Thanks for your opinion, now back it with some reasons why the Mormon believers should not be called a cult; I would be interested in that. I don't know if it is or not, but your opinion, without backing, lends little to the discussion.
