My point was, you are practicing religious bigotry if you even bring up the religion of a candidate.

So.
Then practice it.
Religion is part of who people are, it is their core.
It should be discussed.
If it’s bigotry, then so be it.

It’s only bigotry if they don’t do communion the right way ~ we’ve passed way beyond being overly concerned with traditional baptism ~ of course!

Religious bigotry is 52,000 mormon missionaries going out into the world daily telling Christians THEIR faith is bogus and the only way to salvation is to be baptized, confirmed mormon and take part in arcane rituals in a mormon temple....IF you can "pass by Joseph Smith at the gate."

As I have frequently told them, no man in this dispensation will enter the courts of heaven, without the approbation of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Jun.

Who has made this so?

Have I?

Have this people?

Have the world?

No; but the Lord Jehovah has decreed it.

If I ever pass into the heavenly courts, it will be by the consent of the Prophet Joseph.

If you ever pass through the gates into the Holy City, you will do so upon his certificate that you are worthy to pass.

Can you pass without his inspection?

No; neither can any person in this dispensation, which is the dispensation of the fulness of times.

In this generation, and in all the generations that are to come, everyone will have to undergo the scrutiny of this Prophet.

They say that they killed Joseph, and they will yet come with their hats under their arms and bend to him; but what good will it do them, unless they repent?

They can come in a certain way and find favor, but will they?

*************************************************

we have seen and felt evidence that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is both true and living. The Lord spoke to those through whom He restored the Church in the latter days. He said of them that they “might have power to lay the foundation of this church, and to bring it forth out of obscurity and out of darkness, the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth, with which I, the Lord, am well pleased, speaking unto the church collectively and not individually—

The True and Living Church

Bigotry is proclaiming to Christians that the Gospel of God was taken from the earth and "restored" through Joseph Smith.

My point was, you are practicing religious bigotry if you even bring up the religion of a candidate.

So when Utah voters said in an exit poll in '08 that they voted for Romney NOT because of the "issues" -- but because of his personal "qualities" (wink-wink, nod-nod...Mitt's a fellow Mormon), were Mormon voters in Utah practicing "religious bigotry" because they voted PRIMARILY or ONLY because of Mitt's religious status???
