Mormons, Muslims, Scientologists, Jehova's Witnesses, Heaven's Gaters and other cultists should stop trying to "dumb down" Christianity by putting forth candidates and claiming "persecution" when they don't get the backing they want. This in nothing more than an attempt to infiltrate the mainstream.
This nation was founded on Christian Principles, by Christians. It's greatets leaders, Washington, Lincoln, Reagan were all Christian.
The mormons, like John Kerry, were against Christianity, before they were for it...
"Christianity...is a perfect pack of nonsense...the devil could not invent a better engine to spread his work than the Christianity of the nineteenth century." Prophet Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, vol. 6, p.167
"The Christian world, so-called, are heathens as to the knowledge of the salvation of God." Prophet Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 8:171
"Are Christians ignorant? Yes, as ignorant of the things of God as the brute beast." Prophet John Taylor, Journal of Discourses 13:225
"What does the Christian world know about God? Nothing... Why so far as the things of God are concerned, they are the veriest fools; they know neither God nor the things of God." Prophet John Taylor, Journal of Discourses 13:225
"The Book of Mormon remains secure, unchanged and unchangeable but with the Bible it was not and is not so it was once in the sole and exclusive care and custody of an abominable organization (Christianity), founded by the devil himself, likened prophetically unto a great whore, whose great aim and purpose was to destroy the souls of men in the name of religion. In these hands it ceased to be the book it once was." Apostle Bruce R. McConkie, The Joseph Smith Translation, pp. 12, 13
In bearing testimony of Jesus Christ, President Hinckley spoke of those outside the Church who say Latter-day Saints "do not believe in the traditional Christ." No, I don't. The traditional Christ of whom they speak is not the Christ of whom I speak. Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley, LDS Church News, June 20, 1998, p.7
