Many naive Americans believe that Mormonism is merely another branch of protestant Christianity. Well that’s not what the founders and leaders of Mormonism believed.
According to its founder, Joseph Smith, and Brigham Young, Smith’s successor, Mormons are the only true people of God on the earth. All non-Mormons and their religions are “wrong, an abomination, blind, damned, of the devil, whores, not Christians, groveling in darkness, heathens, ignorant, devoid of fact, pagan and hatched in Hell.”
When Romney made a speech about his religion in 2008 he refused to distance himself from his faith and fully affirmed his Mormonism. Responding to critics, Romney said,
"They would prefer it if I would simply distance myself from my religion, say that it is more a tradition than my personal conviction, or disavow one or another of its precepts. That I will not do. 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."
Romney, the father of homosexual marriage in America and abortion funding Romney Care in Massachusetts, flip-flops on virtually every issue, but he is adamant about his anti-Christian Mormonism. Romney needs the vote of Christians to win election, but he refuses to “disavow one or another of its precepts.”
Nor can anyone think Romney is merely a casual or cultural Mormon who just happened to be born Mormon. He is an active Bishop in the Mormon church hierarchy. He cannot pretend to be ignorant of the teaching of Joseph Smith and the other “prophets” of Mormonism.
Below is a list of quotes from Mormon leaders and official publications starting with Joseph Smith down to our day. The message is consistent and clear.

I think there is a difference between giving condemnation between believers and how a believer treats one who is a non-believer.
Maybe I am dumb, totally stupid; but I do not have a clue about what this caricature is supposed to mean — i.e., Albatross: Teachings: Blacks.
I myself cannot connect these meanings.
Care to help me out with this???
The equation was written by the Mormon Founding “prophet” himself when he declared he was a “second Mohammad”...
Before sporting off about others ignorance and bigotry perhaps a wee bit of study is in order...
I’m voting for the guy with the (R) after his name.
- - - - -
Even if he is anything BUT a Republican?? That course is what has gotten us in this mess in the first place. Too many Pubbies simply bend over and take it.
It is time to stand up for conservatism. There is no such thing as the ‘lesser of two evils’. Both are still evil. Romney = Obama
I think it will be the same. However, with Romney we destroy the GOP and chances of taking back the WH any time soon. The GOP ‘temple’ either needs to be cleansed or it is time for them to go the way of the Whigs.
That is the most idiotic statement I have seen in a long time. Just because we stand by our conservative principles and don’t support RINO Romney does not make us Democrat operatives.
Do you think Jim Rob is a “paid Democrat operative”???
Piss up a rope, troll.
Agree 100%. The spinless RINOS who are rolling over for Romney are the problem in the GOP. Those of us who are real, principled conservatives are being pushed out.
How anyone can be stupid enough to think Romney is a conservative is beyond me.
Real conservatives want Obama out. You have no solutions for getting Obama out of the White House. If you do please let me know. Mitt Romney can get Obama out of the White House. Not that I like him that much. I am sure I agree with you a lot more. But I want Obama out out out and Romney is my tool at hand. Once Obama is out we can breathe and start doing some good things. With Obama in his term #2 you will be suffocated
I am not too proud to vote for Romney. I want Obama out out out OUT OUT OUT!!!!!! Use your head and your God given IQ!!!
The capitulaters and compromisers have been coming out of the woodwork to sign up as endorsers in the voter camps mentioned above!
- - - - -
BINGO! And it is disgusting. Does no one have principles anymore? These compromisers are being played as pawns by the GOPE who think they are smarter than the masses and enjoy the control these people give them.
There is absolutely NO reason Romney should have even gotten THIS far except for the spineless who are willing to do what the GOPE tells them to do.
I absolutely refuse to vote for an abortionist/homosexualist/socialist/fascist/statist bastard!! FUMR!!
OK Jim I am taking a vacation from FR for a few days or a week. All I know is the America we love cannot endure a term#2 Obama.
Standing on your principles is never a wasted vote. I will vote conservative and will not vote for either Romney or Obama. To do so would be to violate my principles, my conservatism and my Christianity.
We shouldn’t be in this position, but the GOPE knows that people like you will ‘fall in line’. Your excuses are the same ones we had with Bush, that conservatives would hold his feet to the fire, they didn’t. It is the same story we had when we voted in Tea Party candidates, who have now all rolled over for RINO Romney and thrown their conservatism out the window. The expectation that we will just fall in line is how we got McCain nominated and Obama elected. Not again - I’m done being a patsy for the GOP.
I am disappointed that Santorum and Newt both suspended, if for no other reason, we need to keep Mittens from getting the magic number. A contested convention would be our best hope, but with Newt and Santorum out, it is seeming less and less likely.
No one fights anymore they just cave.
That needs to be reposted often, Colo.
let me guess you think Romney’s picks will be just as bad as Obama’s..right....I dont think so and he will be called out on it if so by republicans.
- - - - -
What on earth gives you the idea Republican will call Romney out on anything? They haven’t so far.
Go ahead and vote for Mittens. As for me and my house we will serve the Lord, and that means standing on our conservative Christian principles and not voting for a liberal liar who usurps the office of Christ.
Some people allow their obsessions to permeate every aspect of their lives.
I would rather have the Mormon for my next door neighbors and in my community.
- - - —
Then you must not know many Mormons or lived next door to many of them.
Lies, lies, and damm lies. Out of context. stop being lazy and do REAL. investigation
- - - -
Care to point them out rather than make unfounded claims?
The article is spot on. Mormons ARE anti-Christian and have been from the word ‘go’.
But I’ll be charitable and let you actually back up your claim, if you dare.
I did do REAL investigation. That is what got me the Hell out of Mormonism and into Christianity.
