Mormon teaching is that the wife will not be head of her own kingdom. Only the husband. Not sure what happens to unmarried women. Would the left wing media approve of this obvious bias against women?

Of course, now that mormonism has been injected into the debate, it’ll never be mentioned again. Perry was either in on it or he’s a useful idiot.

You LDS are becoming unglued ... accusing C.S. Lewis of pedophilia is anew one from your ilk.

Pastor Jeffress real sin in the eyes of Anderson Cooper may be that the Reverend deigned to mix religion with politics in an apparent attempt to create a political advantage. If that was the case, then Mr. Cooper's indignation may have been justified. Article VI of the United States Constitution provides that "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."

This argument has always annoyed me. Article VI is a prohibition against the GOVERNMENT using a religious test, not a prohibition against a citizen using it to determine his or her vote.

How about Republicans STOP PLAYING the RELIGIOUS LITMUS TEST GAME?!?!??!

Contrasting Mormonism and Christianity is not about politics. It is about defining worldviews.

Mormons devote and commit to their religion; their CHURCH.

Christians are Christians because they live their lives following Jesus Christ.

It’s the difference between saying, “I’m a ball player” and I play ball for the New York Yankees..”

Do you believe “He ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.” ?

This seems to be the crux of the discussion. If you believe that statement you believe as the Mormons do. If you don’t believe that statement then you disagree with the Nicene Creed and I don’t know what that makes you. Do you?

Ahh, the angry mormon posts a slanderous accusation against one of the most respected and prolific Christian authors of the 20th century. Color me surprised. NOT!

Do you have a REPUTABLE source to back up your slur?

I have many that show your “prophet” to be an adulterous pedophile.

Want to go a round or two?

He may be confusing C. S. Lewis with Lewis Carroll.

—You will only vote for a Christian?—

No. But a candidate’s religious beliefs are very important to me. I want to know what field they think they are playing on.

Do I think Mormonism is a cult? You bet.
Is Mitt a Mormon ? So he says.
Would I go to Mitt's “church”? No way.
Would I vote for Mitt over Obama? In a heart beat!

Does it really matter whether anyone knows or believe thay are or aren’t? Why not just let God take care of that and quit worrying about others?

How pathetic.

What's pathetic is your unsubstantiated slanderous lie regarding C.S. Lewis.

I like how you think. Thank you.

I’m a Mormon Christian, and I disagree with Lyman’s statement.

Probably ... but think about the brazenness, to accuse so forcefully trying to defend a peepstone sexual predator of married women and girls, Joseph Smith!

C.S. Lewis was a pedaphile and you use his words to attempt to make your point? How pathetic.

Let me join the chorus on this one. This is such an outrageous accusation that you better have some solid proof or you should withdraw it.

As SZonian has pointed out, you'd better be real careful how you define pedaphilia or you'll have to hang a pedaphile label on your "prophet."

They teach that Jesus and Lucifer were “brothers”.

They teach, “As we are now, God once was. As God is now, we shall someday be.”
///
exactly. The idea that God was once a man, and we can become Gods? that God literally had sex with Mary?

That God personally ordered Smith’s wife, to permit Smith to marry other women, or SHE would go to Hell?

...there is so much in there, as Colofornian has shown,
that it cannot be considered a branch of Christianity.

...not to mention, that Smith was a convicted conman in NY. and ran the “magic stone” scheme. similar to the “translating” stone, which made hundreds of “errors” ?

ancient writings that are word for word identical with the flowery King James “translation” of earlier texts?

...hundreds of years of history, which is totally unknown and unsupported by Science ? ludicrous.

and why shouldn’t i want good Mormons freed, of this obviously man-made cult ? Just as i wish for Muslims.
