Apparently many are willfully ignoring my point here. The point is not what I believe or don’t believe, the point is that we all have much more in common than we think and we must all work together to defeat evil and turn our country around.

You could have made that statement and left your religious beliefs completely out. Yet it was YOU that made the claim that mormonism is Christian. Apparently that is not supportable judging from your posts (or lack of them).

It is also apparent that lds central is pushing a pr campaign that mormon is Christian - to take the heat off of Romney's presidential run. So such posting is just supporting lds political goals - get a RINO elected.

WE can't defeat evil nor can we turn the country around. God's will will be done whether for our good or for our ill. We can only do the things that we are commanded of by God; 1) do justice, 2) love kindness, and 3) walk humbly with our God.

The real problem is that we have simply failed to tell people the truth of God like it is. We have scores of false religions and gods pouring into this country and yet we somehow want God to bless us. This isn't any different then the times of Jeremiah when the Jewish priests were saying that God wouldn't destroy their nation because they were, after all, the people chosen by God.

What we really need is to get our relationship with God right before we start asking Him to bless us. If we see our beloved country slipping into the throws of communism, then it is because we have strayed and He is trying to call us back through trial and persecution. I'm reminded of a song by Barry McGuire;

Don't blame God for the sins of America, America has fallin from the ways of the Lord.

I post this ONLY for 1 reason....We MUST stop this sniping and fighting and realize we have far more in common that what separates us and we MUST work together to accomplish what we ALL want to do....and if you are saying, “I will never vote for so-and-so because I don’t believe in their religious doctrines,” means we will lose in 2012. Lets pull together.

That may be what you say now, but it's not what you posted when you began the thread.

No. Some are responding to your initial post. That simply means they're taking you literally (you didn't want us to take you literally?). And others are trying to save your soul ...

which, when all is said and done, is more important than winning any election.

We have political views in common, but Mormons and Christians don’t share the same spiritual views. In fact, Mormonism and Christianity are diametrically opposed to each other.

Christians will never spiritually unite with Mormons, so you might as well get used to it. Working together to reach political goals is worthy, but politics is worthless compared to the value of a human soul.

Therefore, the greater good is pointing people to the saving knowledge of the Biblical Jesus Christ and exposing the false teachings of Mormonism. Evil is not just Islam and the secularization of the American culture, but it’s any falsehood against The Truth (Jesus Christ).
