Anti-Mormons Attacks Must Stop, FR is Better Than That (Vanity)
December 12 2007 | jveritas

Posted on 12/12/2007 6:27:59 PM PST by jveritas

Dear FRiends

It really pains me to see some of those vicious anti-Mormons attacks we see on Free Republic disguised under the “freedom of speech. Attacking people based on their Mormon faith is really disgusting and it is an insult to this great forum. People who do not like Governor Mitt Romney based on his positions are free to express their opinion as such, but people who attack him because he is a Mormom should be ashamed of themselves and must not be allowed to do so.

I greatly hope that Free Republic members and moderators will get together and help in stopping this anti-Mormon vitriol, this great Free Republic must not be tainted by these shameless acts.

I’ve got my own opinions on Mormonism (which I will keep to myself), but Mormons themselves are for the most part decent and honorable people. Except the one in charge of the Senate.

I attack both Michael Dale Huckabee and Willard
Mitt Romney for using religion as a cover for
their nanny state, populist and left wing bias!

Are we calling for political correctness on the free republic ?

I just found some gold tablets out back and am starting a new religion based on em. I hope I’ll get the same tolerance myself.

saddle up the horses and wear your Sunday best

sing your Sacred Harp, you be holier than the rest

fill up the room with a grand and a thunderous song

let it rattle out the windows, let it spill out on the lawn

shout, shout your praises to the man who kissed the Lord

to the back stabbing brother that betrayed all of this world

your Judas!

—SAINT JUDAS

Not at all. However anti-Mormons attacks are much closer to bigotry than freedom of speech.

I hope you are not saying that those who are pointing out the inherent differences between Mormonism and Christianity are committing attacks on Mormons.

I guess we should go back to picking on the Quakers and the Amish.

Well, the moderators and Free Republic must be doing a good job, because I have failed to see a single such thread or post.

“Anti-Mormons Attacks Must Stop, FR is Better Than That”

What is it that constitutes an attack?

Are questions about Mormonism then below the belt?

If Mormons continue to claim that they are Christian, do Christians not have the right to challenge that?

Thank You.

A person’s choice of religion speaks to his judgment, this makes it an issue to base a decision on.

Will the FR Mormons cease their attacks on Christians? I’ve read at least one post on FR that labeled Presbyterians and other orthodox Christians corrupt. Doctrinal and religious disagreement is not a one-way street.
