There used to be some weirdo on FR that really had a hard one for the Mormons back when Romney was running.
Not you, it is?
There were MANY of us who had problems with MormonISM back in the day.
And, since LDS doctrine hasn't changed that much since then, we still do.
Are there any theological differences you'd like to discuss?
A hard what?
Its a cult Jim. 😏
That would be Elsie
Regarding Mormons as individuals I have zero opinion as I don’t know any Mormons personally.
Regarding Romney - when he was the final GoP candidate vs BO, I supported him. I wasn’t a big fan of his candidacy, but neither was I strongly against him.
As to Mormonism, I dislike it as an amateur historian firstly - the idea of stating that semitic people moved to the Americas without leaving any archaeological, linguistic, genetic or historical/lore trace is just stupid imho.
and I find it incredible that J Smith just took on Mohammed’s idea + some other bits and bobs and made a religion to keep himself wealthy and with lots of wives. Just like JK Rowling took 19th century British schoolyard books and put a thin veneer of magic around it and badabing, a best selling series.
“that really had a hard one for the Mormons back when Romney was running…”
Don’t spend too much time thinking about polygamy. It rots your brain.
