The anti-Mormon junk is obnoxious. It’s one thing to allow Mormonism to be deservedly criticized, but it’s another thing to make anti-Mormonism a semi-official site policy. There is a reason why public figures won’t touch this site with a ten foot pole, and the condoned anti-Mormonism by people like Colofornian and Elsie is a large part of that reason. You can have a site dedicated to trashing Mormons or a site where mainstream public figures like Tony Snow post, but not both. I sure as Hell would prefer having the latter.

Do you always go around & gossip behind people's back? Is that just norm for your lifestyle? (Considered common online courtesy to ping them when speaking about them to others)

There's a few "anti-Scientology-ism" people around as well. Do you go around to those sites & ensure you defend the Scientologists as well? Or does Mormonism have some special "ism" appeal to you not found in Scientology? [I post on Mormonism here because (a) I am a descendent of a Mormon leader; and (b) Conservative Mormons post & lurk here)

Do you object to the Mormons for using both Lds.org -- and its doorbell-ringing -- as a platform for its anti-Christianeering, or do you lopsided side with the Mormons? [take any phrase below, cut & paste it & go to Lds.org to find it...re: the Lds missionaries...see the last row in the chart below]

Charting Mormon Foundational Intolerance: Smithesque Slander of the Christian Church

MEMO: ‘Wake-up call’ to allies of Mormon founder Joseph Smith and those operating as current disciples of Smith: Those who 'preach' against intolerance need to take note of Mormonism's intolerant roots

Title: A Primer of How Lds founder Joseph Smith Launched His Campaign of Open Bigotry vs. Worldwide Christianity, Engaging in Scorched-Earth Religious Politics

Mitt Romney, Dec, 2007, speaking @ the George Bush Presidential Library: "I believe in my Mormon faith and I endeavor to live by it. My faith is the faith of my fathers – I will be true to them and to my beliefs."

Snapshot of Joseph Smith’s Slanderous Invectives vs. Christian Sects	Mormon Source [Note: Most of these are Mormon ‘scriptures'. In fact, First three rows below are Lds 'scripture' & therefore cannot be rug-swept any more than a Jew might try to take three commandments off of the very tablets of stone Moses brought down from the mountain]
“...which of all the sects was right… must join NONE of them, for they were ALL WRONG… those professors were ALL CORRUPT…”	Joseph Smith – History vv. 18-19. – Lds "scripture" Pearl of Great Price
...“which of all the sects was right…ALL their CREEDS were an ABOMINATION in his sight…they teach for doctrines the commandments of MEN…”	Joseph Smith – History vv. 18-19. – Lds "scripture" Pearl of Great Price
Mormon church the only ‘Christ-sanctioned’ church on earth: “…the foundation of this [Mormon] church…the ONLY true and living church on the face of the whole earth” [Obvious ‘scorched earth’ implication: All other churches are false and dead]	Lds “scripture” Doctrines & Covenants 1:30
Direct question asked of Joseph Smith: 'Will everybody be damned, but Mormons?" Answer from Lds "prophet" Joseph Smith: 'Yes, and a great portion of them, unless they repent, and work righteousness."	Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 119 [Not “scripture” – but still publicly spoken by the Mormon ‘living prophet’ and published by a later Mormon ‘living prophet,’ Joseph Fielding Smith – via a publisher owned by the Mormon church – Deseret News Press, 1938]
“In 1952…the first official proselyting plan was sent to missionaries throughout the world…It included seven missionary discussions that emphasized…[four topics, one of them being]…THE APOSTASY and Restoration…” [This makes it almost 60 years that Mormon church missionaries, now numbering 52,000, have formally emphasized in its training & door to door saturation a priority in bashing the worldwide Christian church as “apostates” (100% AWOL)]	Our Heritage: A Brief History of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints p. 116, 1996

I thought religion posts were supposed to be in the Religion Area?

Trashing Romney as a Mormon is a moot point, when you can trash him for Romneycare, Gay Marriage, Flip / Flopping.

I was told earlier this week that the Religious posts are suppose to stay in the Religious Area of Free Republic.

Sorry I'm just getting caught up on this thread I was gone after 12PM this weekend not getting home till late.

Only thread I was able to post on was a flavored vodka thread and a Crook County Judge who actually shocked the world by throwing out the unconstitutional internet tax that our Rat from hell Gov. passed.

Seems like things have cooled down big time, but I see a big difference in long winded posts about Mormons, Catholics, Jews, Baptists, Lutherans, Methodists and posts saying "For God and Country" or "I will trust in God".

So if someone could clarify to me if the rules have changed because the Religion_Moderator was incredibly helpful in showing me how to block reading Religious threads. Something I could care less about.
