We have freedom of religion as a right, not freedom FROM religion.

And we have the FREEDOM of Speech to TALK about other religions as well.

But we canNOT make others LISTEN to us!

Why THank YOU!

And I have never seen quite so many 'conservatives' that do not give a rat's patootie about false Christs and False Messiahs and FALSE teachings as the current bunch that are infesting FR.


However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"

I’m secure in my faith.

Most people are.

But having the strongest faith on Earth will not mean too much if the OBJECT of your faith is not able to withstand the forces that come against it.

Glad to see you finally got that old Chevy washed.

Did you hear the Romney speech today? Mark Levin is really broadcasting it (and praising it) very well.

I can overlook Mormonism and even his silly political pro-choice ideas if Mitt continues to listen to Levin and obeying conservatives. It is very obvious Mitt is listening. Finally! Obedience is the Mormon way. Obey us Mitt!

I also believe the White Horse Prophesy is a myth.

So; you are a SELECTIVE religious bigot.

OK...

So; you are a SELECTIVE religious bigot.

I prefer the term discriminating religious tolerator. I tolerate pretty much everybody - Christian, Jews, Zoroastrians, Hindus, Buddhists, Mormons, Janists, those wooden penis worshipping people in Japan, slappy happy Krishnas, Lutherans, Human Secularists, Unitarians, even Athiesm which ironically is a belief based on a metaphysical leap of faith, - everybody except those for whom sharia and jihad are part of their cultic lexicon.

And I can live with that - unless some sand mook goes crazy and tries to kill me for insulting his pedo-profit.

I can accept that; as I guess it kinda describes me as well.

It won't slow me down from pointing out what appears to be obvious heresy on their part; but I can live with it.


Those who don't want to tolerate ME, however, do get a little more examination.

IMHO, fundamental Islam, with Sharia Law and war making Jihad is nothing more than a tyranical, totalitarian ideology and political system hiding behind the color of religion. It’s aim is to rule the real world and deny liberty and freedom for people to choose.

For them, it is either convert, become a slave/tribute payer, or die. Polticial dogma and a 14th century ethos compelled at the point of a gun (today) or by the sword (back then).

They abjectly hate tolerance, liberty, and any religion that teches people to be tolerant and free in an effort to seek to win the hearts of man as opposed to compel them.

They are as much an enemy to liberty as the Nazis, Imperial Japanese, Communists, or any other dictatorial totalitarian regime.

“I am Jewish and I have zero issues with Mormons, Christians, Catholics, Baptists, Seventh Day Adventists, Angelicans, Egilitarians, Buddhists, Hindu, etc. We have freedom of religion as a right, not freedom FROM religion.”

Amen! I’m an evangelical Southern Baptist, and feel the same way.

“I do have an issue with a publication that seeks to paint some legal financial dealings of an organized religion as some sort of weird testimony that religion is bad, and that religious organizations should get their non-profit status taken away.”

I’m sorry you’ve been attacked for those beliefs. I share them, and believe that this cover for a national publication is tyrannical.

The media isn’t supposed to abuse the first amendment in this way, I don’t care who you are.

Did you know that most of us don’t care what Mormonism considers?

You can’t.

“In MY church, any financial transactions over $5k MUST be approved by the membership.”

In my church, it’s pretty much the same. The congregation runs it, and votes on leadership (Deacons) to decide the way the church should go, and their budget.

But, we aren’t talking about our churches.
