The repeated actions on this board of posting an anti-ISM screed, waiting for folks to respond, then pouncing 2, 3, 4 at a time - sometimes calling in others to witness the feeding frenzy - for something as benign as commenting in a way that does not loudly declare that one is ANTI_ISM!!!

Actually, part of what's being addressed here is your own religious worldviews 100% apart from whatever you believe or don't believe about Mormonism.

For example, your very Qs in post #204 imply -- and perhaps you could clarify them -- but they imply that you "compartmentalize" "religion" from "politics."

I don't embrace that silliness. People integrate their other-worldly worldviews into all areas of life.

What Qs in post #204 am I referencing?

These: ...is there concern from the antiMormonISM crowd here that if Romney is elected president that his belief in MormonISM will have some terrible effect on our country (worse than that of a second Obama presidency)? If so, what is that fear, what is the damage that you perceive Romney will visit upon the US? ... Do you believe Romney is as evil a choice as Obama, or worse? If so, why? Is it related to his belief in the LDS teachings??

...woe betide the unwitting “wanderer” who dares ventures here without promptly displaying their hatred for the ISM

Well, first of all, since I believe you have some Biblical moorings in your life, please show us from the Bible where we as Christians are ever called to be "neutral" toward falsehoods?

2 Cor. 10:3-5 and Jude 3 and Titus 1:9 are enough verses for me where Paul, etc. said there is a "battleground" mentality Christians are to have vs. all that elevates itself "against the knowledge of God": 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (2 Cor. 10:5)

You seemed to have a rather feeble approach to approaching falsehoods...as evidenced by what you said in post #204: ...this is a discussion of ISM - I got that. I don’t believe in it, don’t defend it, never have

Don't overwhelm us if you ever applied this same lack of passion to...say, Obama, Dems, liberals, or pro-aborts!
