From the article: God approves of polygamy in the Old and New Testaments, but has temporarily suspended the practice.

What? Polygamy isn't being practiced right now by Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, Heber C. Kimball and all of the Lds "prophets" who lived up thru 1945? (And the thousands of other Lds polygamists & serial Mormon polygamists who are alive now?)

I guess Mormons will need to start tearing off those "families are forever" bumper stickers off of their vehicles then!

From the article: There are many gods who create and rule over other worlds, and on those worlds, worship excludes the God of our world.

So Mormons are guilty of setting up rival gods...Isn't that idolatry?

And, when some of those rival gods are Mormons & Mormon leaders themselves -- like Mitt Romney -- why would people (like voters) link themselves to committing the corporate sin of idolatry?

We challenge you to question Mormonism.


Why? To each his own.

From the article: Jesus being the literal son of exalted human gods obviously did not create all things either. For example, He did not create the planet He was born on as a spirit child (Ibid.; Gospel Principles, 17-20 [1997 edition]; and 27-9).

Well, this goes against the Bible...Colossians 1:16:

16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. (Col. 1:16-17)

Circular reasoning. They’re using their own publications to prove their point. Then they also use their own publications to point to the Bible and say “See, it agrees with us.”

How about....

HISTORY:

The peoples places cultures and events spoken of in The Book of Mormon as happening in the Americas before Columbus have absolutely zero historic basis. There is no cultural linguistic or genetic trace of Jewish people in the pre-Columbian period of the Americas.

-vs-

The peoples places cultures and events spoken of in The Bible have, as much as could be expected, deep and broad historic confirmation.

It also needs:

There is no archaeological evidence for any events in the Book of Mormon. / There is archaeological evidence for many/most events in the Bible.

Is it your desire to tell all Mormons to vote Democrat?

If your house was on fire, and a Mormon fireman came to put out your house, would you refuse the services of that Fireman?

If you needed the help of a COP, and that Cop was a Mormon, would you refuse the help of that Cop?

What is your point?

A vote for a Mormon in NO WAY indicates that I support the Faith of that Mormon, If I chose to vote for him or her.

Again, is it your point to banish all Mormons from the Republican Party or from Conservatism?

Why?

Isn't it our goal to defeat Obama, and to defeat Liberalism?

Please concentrate on the issues.

I agree that the Mormon Faith is full of contradictions and that I would not want to be a Mormon. However? That question will not be on any ballot, this November.

The lds-org denies that Jesus is the Creator, that everything was created THROUGH Him, BY Him and FOR Him.

They deny that Jesus created even the angels out of nothing.

They do NOT teach the truth about Jesus.

The one Mormon I knew really well was a guy I served under in the Air Force 40+ years ago. To this day, he stands out as one of the most impressive men I’ve ever known.

I hate to tell ya, but if his Mormonism was the only thing I knew about Romney, I’d vote for him in a minute.
