Ah, you are a good modern Christian I see. Oprah would be proud.

Reread the Bible, we are REQURIED to question other religions, heretics and false teachings. The all paths rot is rubbish.

The LDS is a special case above all since they are misusing the name of the Savior himself, something that should upset all those who follow him and sadly appears not to, either due to ignorance of the LDS or liberalization of their faith.

We are not to judge the heart of others.

What is there in the article that is not the truth? It is written by a true-believing mormon.

"So what exactly do muslims think of Christ? One of the foremost misconceptions about Islam is that they do not believe in Christ at all. This is to them like saying to Mormons that we are not Christians. It is utterly falsetotally accurate and that is exactly why it is really very upsetting..."

You fail to follow Jesus’ first commandment to love others. He is ashamed of you.

Secondly, all you anti-Mormon loonies are the same; afraid, ashamed and too cowardly to admit what you actually are.

The fact that you hide behind Christianity makes it all the worse.

And, since your FR site makes it obvious you hate Fred Thompson, you are obviouswly a DU troll who came on just after the 2004 Kerry defeat.

I'm sorry that I ignored you in the past thinking that you were just an annoying troll who never contributed anything of value. I hadn't realized that Jesus Christ has appointed you as his personal spokesman.

Actually the "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" instruction does prevent Christians from questioning all doctrines and philosophies in the light of the Holy Bible.

1 Timothy 1:3 As I urged you upon my departure for Macedonia, remain on at Ephesus so that you may instruct certain men not to teach strange doctrines

Do not make this thread "about" individual Freepers. That is also a form of "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

I fail in nothing. Christ did command Christians to love one another, as well as others to the point of “snatching them from the fire” and pointing to false teachings that lead men away from him.

If Christ thought all paths were valid as you seem to do, why did he put forth the Great Commission, why did he tells us, rather clearly I might add, that none get to the Father except through him. Was he just foolin’ around? I think not.

If I hated Mormons I would leave well enough alone. I can think of nothing more hateful, evil or vile to do to another then to knowingly let good people waltz blithely into the arms of Satan himself...

So who exactly is afraid, who is cowardly, one who is willing to stand for the savior and against evil or one who wants to sit and hug and shout bigot lest he be thought of in a bad way by the cool kids..

And your Thompson comment, adorable example of your inability to read, which happens to be a Mittbot trait from when we were defending Fred against his sycophants here. Anyways you did catch the “kick our...” comment. Thompson’s Campaign was the only one I supported that year with time and money.

This being the Religion forums I will simply say the rest of my response is redacted...

I'm just trying to stop people trying to help reelect Obama, that's all, Jim.

I guess my real question is, why am I hitting such a sore spot on some who think it's more important to oppose Romney/Mormonism than it is to defeat Obama. Like him or not, America can survive Romney and Mormonism. We well may not survive a 2d Obama term, especially when he has nothing to lose.

And like it or not (and I don't like it) Either Romney and Obama will be elected in November. The primaries were nothing more than the semi-finals. In the long run, nothing counts buy November.

With all respect, here is the bottom line from Realpolitics 101 on this.

If FR takes a position that in any way opposes the election of the Republican candidate, FR loses. Here's how. It may sound strange, but it's political reality.

If the Republican wins, and if it is in the face of FR opposition, then post-election FR AND ITS BELIEFS have no drag in DC. Why, you ask? Why would anyone support you or FR if you opposed their election? Post-election is when they bayonet the politically wounded.

If Obama wins, free speech on the ‘net as we know it is dead. We all know that.

Ergo, opposing the MORE CONSERVATIVE major candidate is political suicide, not matter who wins. We may not like it, but it is the reality.

You and John, and the Mrs. have worked waaaaaay too hard to establish FR as a major power in the American political scene to see it lose influence or presence. During the 2000 and 2004 elections it was THE reallying point for online Conservatives. It was also watched by Conservatives in the MSM to see what the “red states” really thought. I'm sorry, but it has lost much of that sheen recently.

Jim, you are certainly entitled to do whatever you want to do, but as a supporter, and devotee of your work, I would beg you, please, please, please, do not let “your baby” descend into obscurity, or worst of all, be seen as discouraging Conservatives from voting in November.

November writes our country's future. I am personally very disappointed that Newt did not win the primaries, but I'm taking it like a man, putting away my distaste for Romney, and working as hard as I can to defeat Obama.

Is that too much to ask any Conservative to do, notwithstanding how much as we may dislike Romney?

Do we dislike Romney so much we are willing to help reelect Obama to defeat Romney.

Please Jim, I know you are tired, and I know you hurt at times. But please keep FR on track to help rescue America. It's that important, and it all depends on November.

I respect your opinion, but simply cannot agree that Mormonism is Satan himself.

You still have my best wishes.

Be well.
