Bill Maher, the largest donor to President Obama's super PAC, called Mormonism a "cult" on his HBO show last night, and said that donating money to that religion doesn't count as charity because it's "bulls---."

More proof that even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Harry Reid is a Mormon so he’s part of that cult.

Thanks Internet Walnut.

What's his nick'?

[Happy Rain]

Better Joe Smith and Brigham Young than Karl Marx and Jeremiah Wright...

...JS & BY may have been a little unorthodox but at least they didn't proselytize class hate, racism, treason and bigotry like KM & JW.

[Internet Walnut]

His nick is “jackass”.

While I'm willing to debate the differences between Mormons and Christianity I see nothing inherently wrong with Mormons morality in general and Mitt Romney in particular. He appears to be a good husband and father as far as I can see.

[Internet Walnut]

I agree.

“JS & BY may have been a little unorthodox but at least they didn’t proselytize class hate, racism, treason and bigotry like KM & JW.”

Well....let’s have a look at that list:

Class hate: Wherever the Mormons went, they established their presence, froze out other businesses, silenced any opposition press (see how JS died), and regarded all non-Mormons as apostates from the `true faith’ of JS.

Racism: Blacks ineligible for the “Melchezidek priesthood” until 1978 when this changed due to Federal pressure.

Treason: The Utah Territory was set up as the Deseret empire and Federal troops were held at bay until the Mormons began eyeing the advantages of statehood.

Bigotry: Directed against Christian non-Mormons aka “gentiles” to this very day. Catholics are especially condemned as adherents of “the great and abominable church”.

Ha ha ha, if Mormonism is a cult, then what about that islam thing to Obammy belongs? Violence, brain washing, goat sex...islam has it all. Mormons by comparison are more like Jehovah’s Witnesses or Hari Krishnas - just goofy and sometimes annoying.

Kind of like when Jefferson communicated his lack of concern over other faiths by saying:

“It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.”

Maher is sure an expert on cults. He leads the largest one, liberalism.

[A Navy Vet]

Gee Bill, does that mean I can donate to Catholic Christians, Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, and Hindu religions and you're good? I thought you thought all religions are BS. Your so-called humor often rants against the above religions as being cultish, well, except for Islam which you are too cowardly to denigrate.

I know Christians will tell me I'm not suppose to hate, but I actually hate you - you little pr*ck. Guess we have that in common since you hate just about everything that doesn't fit into your intolerant viewpoint.

Mormonism is a cult

"Fo' shizzle."

[KevinDavis]

or Muhammad..

Ping to Bill Maher calling Mormonism a cult thread.

Catholics are especially condemned as adherents of “the great and abominable church”.

They call it the "whore of Babylon".

The Catholic church, rightfully, calls mormonism a cult.

[Happy Rain]

All faiths had and still have odd dogmas many can find politically incorrect—kind of like judging the conservative politician Rick Santorum on the few instances where he was wrong while ignoring the many instances when he was right—and we can expect Obama, oh, and those like you too now, I suppose, to concentrate on the negatives of Obama’s opponent.

So you are a big fan of Karl Marx and Jeremiah Wright then?

[KevinDavis]

So?? I can care less what the pedophile Catholic Church says...

[LibsRJerks]

Liberalism is the largest cult of all with its blind followers, death worship, tolerance of theft, envy, racism, etc.

In fact, I can’t think of any one more dangerous, except Islam.
