Not at all. All the things I listed are part of various religions here in the US.
I expect consistency from you and I’m not getting it.
You are the one that has twisted the constitution and the First amendment, not me. I apply it to both sides.
They can practice their religion, and I can speak out against it and tell them they are going to hell.
Let me guess you are an ‘ex Christian’, right?
BTW, are you aware that aside from the US “Mormon War”, there was an extermination order in the State of Missouri against the Mormons? It was brought about after the Mormons (who declared a theocratic state in opposition to the US) attempted to assassinate the Governor.
Furthermore, there was a de facto theocracy in the early days of Utah and in many ways there is still one today.
So does your freedom of religion rant extend to the overthrow of the US government?
defend anyone’s right to practice a religion, free from persecution...

So you agree with 9/11 ???
Those Moslems only wanted “to practice a religion, free from persecution”...
Kid you cant make blanket statements
AND THEN pick and choose...
You seem to want us to take you at your word...
You’ve already lined some of the Inmans up against the wall....
and shot us for our cheek at practicing our religion...
You missed Elsie and got one of his goats...
Did Willie Mitty teach you to shoot ???
"The defenders of Mormonism are primarily made up of freerepublic’s atheists, anti-social conservatives, anti-Christians, ex Romneybots, current Romneybots, and anti-conservative bottom feeders of every stripe, in huge numbers."
Yes, the old "speak out of both sides of their mouths trick." On the one hand, they like to very openly & publicly say, "We're Christians, too."
But if they were "Christians" -- and we're "Christians"...they wouldn't proselytize Christians so hard...nor would they ex-communicate Mormons for persistently attending Christian churches.
But if they were Christians the way they define us in at times a more lower profile way, they'd REALLY be saying, "Hey, we're Christians, too. We're 'apostates' just they are."
It must get dizzy switchin' the PR button on & off their mouths: In one sentence we're apostates; in the very next sentence, they desire to nab our brand name!

Firstly, don't curse. Secondly, the First Amendment to the Constitution begins: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"
Perhaps you need someone to explain that to you? It's about freedom of religion, not freedom from ridicule. People laugh at Tom Cruise because his religion (Scientology) was invented as a tax dodge by a science-fiction author. Likewise, Mormonism was invented as a get-rich-quick scheme by another science-fiction author, Joseph Smith, Jr.
Personally, as a Christian, I don't laugh at Scientologists or Mormons - I weep for the loss of their souls to eternal damnation. Feel free to laugh at me for this; it it you right, after all.
Retread troll, or second account?

“ No....most I know are pro-mormon.”
I agree , they are pro-mormon lifestyle (no lying, no cheating, no stealing , no assault , no covet, etc.) that conventional members of Christian Churches espouse .
To the Mormon , it is a lifestyle , and not just an hour or two , weekly religious celebration.
(Nice to know you're not bigoted vs. Christians or anything /sarc)
WEelcome to FRee Republic n00b

Welcome to freerepublic, this is probably all very new to you.
Both probably
Deja vue 2008
the RomneyBots are thick as flies
Pimping for their master...
I think from the looks of things true Christians are going to have to get rather tuff skinned.
Very well stated, Tennessee Nana. We lived in a small town in Utah in the eighties for a year. Generally speaking the more dedicated a Mormon was toward his church the worse he was his non-Mormon neighbors and co-workers.
Welcome to FRee Republic
Mormonism was founded on the principal of anti-Christian behavior and lifestyle...
Joey Smith wrote doctrines which blasphemed every one of the Ten Commandments of the Christian Bible
It was his “lifestyle , and not just an hour or two , weekly religious celebration.”
Most of his waking moments were spent thinking up ways to spit in the face of God...
All mormons rever and “sustain” everything Joey Smith ever did or said or wrote...
BTW did you know that Joey Smith committed adultery with at least 40 women ages 14 and up ???
He had most of the women in the last 2 years of his life...
He was finally shot for his philandering among other reasons...
the worse he was (TO) his non-Mormon neighbors and co-workers. ???
People who ar epro-Mormon are ignorant of the Christian faith or just anti-Christian
Well I never said they were Christians, just good people.
The Bible clearly speaks agaiinst the rosary recoitations, are you unaware of that?
Mt 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Mt 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen [do]: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Mt 6:8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
