I never let someone's choice in religion stop me from voting against him!

Hey, greyfoxx39, that town that Warren woman's folks ran off to when they got married ~ you know the one in East Central Oklahoma ~ that's like the buckle on the Church of the First Born Belt.

I think she's got some kind of connection there she's trying to keep secret and it's not a bunch of Indians either.

I would never vote for someone who belonged to that bunch. Joe Smith belonged to one of their congregations in New York long before he said he'd been seeing visions ~ some of them use peyote!

Again. Asked and answered.

I must remind you, you are not in the Religion Forum. This is News. People actually read what others write here before responding.

You win the cupid doll, now your replies have nothing to with the post you are replying to.
So tatloo, continue with your bigotry against anyone who disagrees with you.
Have a nice evening.

Well, that’s one way of admitting that you did not read my #48 (instead of #47, as you mistakenly claimed).

You mean the Indian Elizabeth Warren? She is weird enough to have ties to the COTFB isn’t she? Smith’s family dabbled in a lot of occult stuff while he was growing up. It’s no wonder he out-Hubbarded L. Ron!

The COTFB had two or three bouts with PROPHETS. One group got into prophecies about great steam engines and rails, airplanes, atom bombs and that sort of thing.

They had the two girls who did healing at a touch. There were others.

If Smith got into that group (which would be the congregations along the old Carolina Road, or US 15 before it was built), he could have dabbled in most anything.

I attribute a lot of this to a lack of entertainment in a harsh environment!

They'd been trekking around in the wilderness for over 150 years by the time Smith showed up.

The "no religious test for office" applied only to those seeking federal offices. It targeted but a single state ~ Pennsylvania where you had to be a Quaker, by law, to hold any sort of public office.

The fact it is in there is a recognition that the intent of the Founders was for the states to run the elections!

The other states had no particular problem with the federal office holders, and even where they had a state church (Virginia, New Jersey, some others) it had been a very long time since they had a "religious test".

The whole point of it was to make sure Christians were allowed to run for federal office and hold appointments as federal judges.

“This could have made Joseph Smith one of the earliest realistic science fiction writers, but he actually believed that stuff.”

Did he? I don’t really think he did. The man was a con artist. He was the 19th Centurys L. Ron Hubbard. Besides, he didn’t even write the stuff, he plagerized it.

Got him lots of young chicks though, and that had to be a tough sell given how ugly he was. Bring’um Young did even ‘better’ and he was even uglier!
