We should have a way to avoid this bigoted religious claptrap without having to reset evert time.

I skip over many threads.....all the time.

There's just some, I have no interest in for whatever reason.

I just don't clik on them.

Pretty simple really........

You’re exaggerating about the “dictators” comparison. Just because someone dares to post factual information about a religion that is and has been in question since its founding, they are now dictatorial? Sheesh.

And since you’ve just recently started to behave as a “defender” of mormons, you’ve obviously neglected to do your homework.

On every thread, the mormons or their knights in shining armor, are encouraged to offer rebuttal materials or information to that which has been posted.

They have had every opportunity to dispel any “mis-information” or “falsehoods”, yet many times, they refuse. There are some who will freely discuss and there are some who won’t. Some put such extreme conditions on the discussion as to make it pointless.

The absurdity of the arguments come from folks like you and the other posters who pretend to know what is in the hearts of the people who post the information and in the process make ad hominem attacks and cast aspersions against the posters.

I wait for relevant comments that are insightful or even have to do with the topic of the thread, yet all I see are empty hands.

Many here have a very valid reason for exposing the heresies of mormonism and believe it or not, it has nothing to do with hate no matter how much posters like you and the others claim it is. It displays the ignorance many have regarding the admonitions from Jesus Christ.

How useful. I note that your version of “acting” when you “feel” your “fellow conservatives” have been “sprayed with a nasty scent” is to do nothing but call people names, make childish analogies/metaphors and ascribe motives.

In a Republic in as much danger as this one, we had all better worry about our future ability to practice any non-Muslim religion, rather than spending any time whatsoever on this anti-Mormon idiocy!

For more than a century, mormons swore a blood oath in their temple ceremonies to revenge themselves upon the United States for grievenances they had. Even today a mormon governor candidate in Idaho was calling out the mormon priesthood in order to prepare the way for mormons to fullfill the 'White Horse Prophecy' where mormons would save the day and convert the country over to mormon control.

Just ask these guys where their anti-Jewish threads are. If Jews dont believe in Jesus, then wouldnt their logic say Jews are not getting into Heaven?

First, Jews are not trying to claim they are Christian. Secondly, our witness is the same to them here, but in a different format because they are not trying to pretend they are Christian. Significant difference, should you try to open your eyes to it.

Christ may be found amongst certain churches...but it doesn't mean that the church is the source of salvation.

That's a very good answer Colo. After I was saved I found a wonderful, Christ-filled church where I gathered with my fellow believers. I was baptized there.

But I don't "owe" that particular pastor or congregation anything. They don't own me. I belong to Jesus. I know my "church" is anywhere true believers gather to worship in fellowship.

Tell you what. Go into the Chat or Bloggers Forums and post there what you posted here and get back with us when you get the results. Let us know how your comments are rec’d over there.

Because if you’re telling us that we aren’t allowed to discuss other topics, only those that are related to the “danger the Republic” is facing, then dude, you’ve got some work to do.

Do you only post in forums that are directly related to your concerns as mentioned here?

No, the Flying Imams are the Jihadists who blow themselves up, or we do them the favor, and body parts fly everywhere.

You and your ilk of those who confuse Christianity with morality and claim your small “brand” of Christianity is the only way to heaven are the FRaliban.

P.S. Most dangerous words I have ever heard: “You can trust me. I'm a Christian businessman!”

Don’t just love the FRaliban!

One doesn't have to search very far to discern why you are on this thread bashing conservative Christians, Mr. "Crusading Reporter".

Next time you have lunch with Helen Thomas, you can meet her "anti-semitic" comments with your "anti-Christian" comments regarding those of us who take seriously the command to take the message to the non-believers in Christ.

"Crusading reporter" gives Inmans benefit of experience." .

I would have to be convinced that "investigative reporter" would be a resume enhancer, since it appears from your posts on this thread that the mormon church and its doctrine may not have been "investigated" as basis for your views.

Perhaps the "paid political consultant" item on your resume indicate that there may be a campaign for a former Mass. governor behind the scenes?

All Im saying is if you are so worried about lost souls, why not have a few threads on Jews? Or Hindus? Or Buddhists?

- - - -
Because I have never been one of those. I was LDS for many years.

My experience and my burden is for the LDS.

Also, those groups aren’t claiming to be Christians while trashing Christ.

We see these attacks on conservative Christians in all the Forums..

RINO Romney has his minions wqorking full time to discredit anyone who tells the truth about him ...

One mormon calls us Flying Inmans...

another says we are not Flying Inmans...

We wear the slur as a badge of courage and honor...

Now they want to take it back and do revisionist work on the name calling history of three years ago...

Just as they want to take back the liberal abortion pushing Romney’s words, actions and liberal policy signing of past years...

George Orwell would be thrilled..

As you can see, Fred Phelps Fundies have no other purpose than to scream about Mormons (or possibly Catholics, under assumed names, on separate threads).

Anyone who crashes their little party are not welcome and that includes me and, of course, you.

- - - - -
Notice of course, that the attacks are coming from an LDSer and not us so called ‘antis’.

Instead of them defending their faith, they spew vitrol, accuse of us lies (and never point out what they are) and ‘insult’ us by calling us ‘fundys’.

I find the ‘fred phelps fundy’ label amusing (had to google the name) when in reality the ‘flying inmans’ consist of members of many different Christian denominations...Catholics, Methodists, Calvinists, Evangelicals, Pentecostals, Lutherans, Eastern Orthodox...and we aren’t infighting like the LDS say all Christians do.

And all of the inmans would agree that Fred Phelps isn’t a Christian any more than Thomas Monson (or any other Mormon) is.

“What a great witness”

Don’t you guys/gals every get tired of disrespecting Mormons? Jesus suffered and died for us, too, and we love Him.

And saying that these people are acting like wannabe dictators and questioning why they only want to take down Mormons or Mormonism ...
- - - - -
At which you failed, btw. My interst in the LDS is because I WAS LDS. I know their lies first hand. SZonian’s interest is the same as is many other LDS because they were either LDS at one point, or are married to LDS.
