“The very foundation is blasphemy. A created christ, a god(s) who were once a man, Joseph Smith being greater than Jesus Christ, working for ones own salvation the removal of God’s Grace, earning ones own god hood, the lds once was a man having sexual intercourse with Mary.. and more.
You really need to learn about mormonism.
Romney is who he is because of his mormonism not in spite of it.”
So, his religion is heresy.
Now, Mormons also have a strong sense of family and community, they successfully practice capitalism, they tithe, they must do community service, they must plan for famine and times of need, and they have great respect for the founding documents of this country.
So, we must decide between a “heretic” with those aforementioned attributes, or a superficial “christian” who believes in black liberation theology, marxism, abortion, who actively disrespects our founding documents, and who is currently curtailing our freedom of religion.
Nobody said this would be easy.
The PR SLC lds is very good at what they do, the mormons in congress - left leaning to very left. The public preseption does not jell with the voting patterns.
Our choice appears to be a liberal or a liberal. Or choice appears to be a man who thinks he will be god and one who thinks he already is.
I am not votIng for a man who is a liberal just because he has an R by his name, I have done that before - no more.
But the difference between them and Catholics is Mormons do that among each other primarily..and the goal is for them and their organization not others outside their group. They are similar to Islam in that respect, you are either a Mormon or not....and if not you cannot be included. Which is why Muslims and Mormons get along....they are pretty much on the same page...it's forced upon them to be as you wrote....or they are endanger of loosing their salvation.
Both are fear based because it works. Both are under leadership who keep their members submissive by fear and or punishment of one form or another...and to keep the revenues flowing... I don't see Catholics even close to either of these for the most part.
