How could anyone vote for a man who doesn’t have the brains to realize he belongs to a cult?
Actually, his faith is not an issue with me. It's his liberal politics. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is no more a cult than most organized religions.
"Cult: noun - "a particular system of religious worship, esp. with reference to its rites and ceremonies... a group or sect bound together by veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc. 5. Sociology. a group having a sacred ideology and a set of rites centering around their sacred symbols "
Yes, there are other meaning of cults too - but the LDS church does not fit in that category.
As a matter of fact, Paul Harvey said that if the other churches followed the example of the Mormon Church in taking care of their own people and others in need, there would be no need for public welfare.
Ronald Reagan, George Herbert Walker Bush, George Bush all had meetings in Salt Lake City with the leaders of the church. It's hardly a cult.
Indeed, were it a "cult" in the connotation you infer, how do you explain that Harry Reid is also a Mormon? Members of a "cult", the way you mean, would all be in lockstep.
Most people who use the word “cult” don’t have the brains to define the word correctly. If they did, they would realize that Christianity itself has been referred to as a cult. Most people who use the word cult in a derogatory way simply prove they are bigots.
Now which cult do you belong to?
What you said, amen. Yet, if he is the Republican running I will vote for him (or anyone) other than the beast.
“...if you believe in it, it is a religion or perhaps ‘the’ religion;
and if you do not care one way or another about it, it is a sect;
but if you fear and hate it, it is a cult.” Leo Pfeffer. A humorous quotation, but one that is uncomfortably close to reality.
Ok, so Mormons are brainless? I wonder, however, which Presidential administration was the most “Mormon”? Surely, this administration would be demonstrated as “brainless” and inept. Well, historically, the most “Mormon” presidency was Ronald Reagan’s. So, by that logic, if you think that Ronald Reagan was a bad president then vote against the “Mormon”, but if think that the Reagan administration had “brains” then surely you have to vote for the Mormon because of the good then did during the Reagan years.
“[Ronald Reagan’s] administration included more members of the Church than any other American president, ever. Three of us, David Fischer, Gregory Newell and [Stephen M. Studdert], served on his personal White House staff. Richard Wirthlin was his chief strategist. Ted Bell served as Secretary of Education, Angela Buchanan was Treasurer, Rex Lee was Solicitor General. His White House included Roger Porter, Brent Scowcroft, Richard Beal, Blake Parish, Jon Huntsman Jr., Dodie Borup and Rocky Kuonen, and there were many other Latter-day Saints throughout his Administration.” -Stephen M. Studdert, Special Assistant to President Reagan
