I mean bigots like you. Did Jefferson consider Catholicsim to be tyranny? How about Protestantism, did he consider that tyranny?
Bill, you are a bigot. A religious bigot, but a bigot just the same. If you believe Mormonism is a con, then don’t become one. Pretty simple. Even you should be able to grasp that, with the aid of a grownup of course.
So go find one and leave the rest of us alone.
>>Did Jefferson consider Catholicsim to be tyranny?
"fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time"
--The Virginia Act For Establishing Religious Freedom
--Thomas Jefferson, 1786
Describes Mormonism (and Catholicism) to a Tee.
>>Bill, you are a bigot
Nah. I'm just an American who believes, as Jefferson did, that:
"finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them. "

"History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government,"
-- Thomas Jefferson; Letter to Alexander von Humboldt, December 6, 1813
"In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own."
-- Thomas Jefferson; Letter to Horatio G. Spafford, March 17, 1814
Did he, Super Genius?
Should you ever get water pollution coming into the pipes of your home, then just shut off the water faucets. Don't mention it to your neighbors. Even you should be able to grasp that, with the aid of a grownup of course. So should that water pollution come, go find some bottled water & leave your neighbors alone. [I mean, who needs to know 'bout neighborhood pollution?] /sarc...
Lurker, you are a bigot.
A religious bigot, but a bigot just the same.
mormonism a con and I want to tell those in mormonism the truth about that because I do not desire that they go to hell because Joseph Smith was a con.
Pretty simple. Even you should be able to grasp that, with the aid of a grownup of course.
