No. The "fundamentalist" Bible-thumping zealots on this board are (yes, I mean to use this word), legion. While claiming to be for "the Constitution", they never-the-less want to deny each INDIVIDUAL the freedom to hold his/her own personal religious beliefs without disrespectful harassment. If given the power to do it, many of these intolerant factions would not hesitate to impose their brand of religion, BY FORCE of law if necessary, on everyone else. Indeed,in this, they are merely the so-called "Christian" flip-side of the Islamic fundamentalists.
C. S. Lewis: "If we must have a tyrant a robber barron is far better than an inquisitor. The baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity at some point may be sated; and since he dimly knows he is doing wrong he may possibly repent. But the inquisitor who mistakes his own cruelty and lust of power and fear for the voice of Heaven will torment us infinitely more because he torments us with the approval of his own conscience and his better impulses appear to him as temptations. And since Theocracy is the worst, the nearer any government approaches to Theocracy the worse it will be. A metaphysic held by the rulers with the force of a religion, is a bad sign. It forbids them, like the inquisitor, to admit any grain of truth or good in their opponents, it abrogates the ordinary rules of morality, and it gives a seemingly high, super-personal sanction to all the very ordinary human passions by which, like other men, the rulers will frequently be actuated. In a word, it forbids wholesome doubt. A political programme can never in reality be more than probably right. We never know all the facts about the present and we can only guess the future. To attach to a party programme--whose highest claim is to reasonable prudence--the sort of assent which we should reserve for demonstrable theorems, is a kind of intoxication (75-76). ~ C.S. Lewis (Lewis addresses theocracy (the most potent form of Religious involvement in government) in an essay entitled, "A Reply to Professor Haldane" On Sotries. ed. Walter Hooper. Harcort & Brace Co. Orlando, Florida. 1996.)
bttt
I sure hope so!
You are welcome, you know, to point out any ERROR and LIES that are told about Mormonism.
Or would you rather just complain?
If you don't like bible thumping; then thump the Book of MORMON.
I'm just SURE we could find some things to talk about in it!

Mormonism: A Living Prophet® is better than a DEAD prophet.
"Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives, and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned;
and I will go still further and say, take this revelation, or any other revelation that the Lord has given,
and deny it in your feelings, and I promise that you will be damned.
Brigham Young - JoD 3:266 (July 14, 1855)
