Wearing a different underwear has nothing to do with not being taken by fire in the second coming of Jesus or end of times... Well, have you ever gone to a mormon church? Do you have any mormon friends? You should get your facts straighted out, don't believe in everything you read on the internet, and when I say that I mean about other religions too. You have to ask to a member. Go to mormon.org and you can find a lot about it. Choosing your president has nothing to do with his religion... There is a lot of good people out there, trying to do what is right and they don't even follow any religion, but having one should not exclude them from wining something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721082653718997788.post-77361505691060328232011-05-04T00:05:13.243-04:002011-05-04T00:05:13.243-04:00I wouldn't care if someone said that about Isl...I wouldn't care if someone said that about Islam, since Islam and Mormonism are choices. I would be more taken aback by "blacks" instead of "black people" or "homosexual" instead of the more politically correct "fags and dykes." I'm kidding, I don't care if you refer to "those people" as blacks.<br /><br />I just listed basic beliefs of Mormonism. I didn't even resort to stereotypes. I didn't point out that every Mormon I ever met was smug and stand-offish. I didn't say they're violent or inferior (they aren't), nor did I say anything that would imply I think they aren't entitled to their religion.<br /><br />Intolerance would be saying something along the lines of, "I can't stand living near Mormons." Bigotry would be if I supported measures like banning the Book of Mormon. I can tolerate people without liking them or saying only kind things about them.<br /><br />I'm sorry if you have so many hopes pinned up in a psycho like Romney. If you have a more polite term for someone who wears magic underwear and thinks they will one day rule a planet, I'm open to suggestions.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02504734487692109101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721082653718997788.post-85371808889957900472011-05-03T22:43:55.138-04:002011-05-03T22:43:55.138-04:00Hmm, does it bother you that you are ignorant of y...Hmm, does it bother you that you are ignorant of your own intolerance and bigotry?<br /><br />Well, to demonstrate, let's try a little experiment.

Maybe if it would make a big impact, I would think about it (like an organized plan to do so in a particular area). But I would rather note give the appearance of one more registered Republican just for a vote in the primary.<br /><br />I think it's important to register independent in my circumstance, because neither party represents me. Yeah, I hate Republicans more, but I don't vote Democrat, nor do I see it as counter productive to have a Republican president (8 years of Bush was the only possible way that a guy like Obama could have ever been elected, for example... I imagine it will take 4 decades of draconian Republicans to get a Democrat I like).<br /><br />The more independents make themselves known, the more likely there will be a third party. If everyone is just choosing the lesser of two-evils or casting sabotage ballots, let alone actually thinking either of the two parties represents them... nothing is going to get better.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02504734487692109101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721082653718997788.post-44978557023840204362011-05-03T15:14:05.202-04:002011-05-03T15:14:05.202-04:00It's perfectly legal in most statesIt's perfectly legal in most statesGun-Toting Atheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16257243603888510320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721082653718997788.post-56295410658219656282011-05-03T14:19:40.799-04:002011-05-03T14:19:40.799-04:00You're suggesting I register Republican and sa...You're suggesting I register Republican and sabotage the party in the primary?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02504734487692109101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721082653718997788.post-70271252509093970352011-05-03T13:08:24.813-04:002011-05-03T13:08:24.813-04:00Bottom line, if you don't want a republican Pr...Bottom line, if you don't want a republican President, vote for whoever is least likely to win.

Forgive me if I'm telling you something you already know, but Mormons will usually never tell you this to your face, but they consider themselves to be the only true church, and all the rest to be corrupt. Knowing a little bit about how Mormonism originated and its teachings, it's more accurate to call it a pseudo-Christian cult, that since the 1830s has tragically ensnared millions of people. I feel no affinity with the LDS church whatsoever.Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08827731848618933239noreply@blogger.com
