Mormon Hypocrisy

Let's take Noah's ark's story here. If is it "shown incorrect" does it in any way change Jewish or Christian dogma? No, not really.

Yes, I agree. But the inerrancy believers on FR do not. They have told me that if even one sentence of Genesis is not literally and exactly true, then Christ is a liar and his sacrifice a sham.

So just as the LDS have had to tap dance their way through archaeology to try and keep the Nephites and Lamanites in the historical records, so have the YEC's had to do much the same thing with geology and astrophysics.

Nephites and Laminites are ‘part of the historical records’ the same way Hobbits are ‘part of the Historical record’ ... as fictional projections.

The purposed stupidity is becoming more than amusing.

I've already said many times that I believe Mormonism to be a construct second only to Scientology in fictional inventiveness.

However, there are lots and lots of Mormon members who are inclined to vote for conservative candidates. For the conservative movement (at least as represented on FR) to gin up a frenzy of anti-Mormon rants

.... you've seen them, it's the same three or four posters who layer on the italics, the boldface, and the exclamation points!!! for paragraph after paragraph after paragraph.....

will do nothing but tick those Mormon voters off, and drive them away from conservatism.

They place their religion above their conservatism - displayed by their overwhelming support for RINO romney

Well, I believe that Genesis is true. These folks are not correct if you take this objectively. Objectively (i.e. trying to not look at it from a religious point of view), Mormonism fails due to the fact that the native americans are not semites.

if someone proved that the resurrection did not happen, then christianity would be disproven.

Mormonism has this failure point because J Smith put his religion in a historical context that was disproven after his death.

At least L Ron Hubbard chose something that would take millenia to disprove (when we set up the Terran Empire!)

"Well, to be honest, they DO believe that Jesus is devine and GOD in the flesh,"

U sure about that? My understanding is that Mormons believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the Saviour, but that He is NOT Divine. But either way, Mormons are so far away from mainstream, orthodox Christianity that they truly are a cult.
