    Remove the faith, and this one is as logical as "God did it".

    Insert faith, however, and "God did it" becomes logical. Just like the case is with the Mormon beliefs.

    Its fascinating to see that pure, uncut religious hatred and bigotry determines the outcome of the republican primary.

    Indeed, allthough its worth pointing out that christianity has 4 different books written by 4 different people saying the same thing, whereas mormons have the copys of one book noone, save for the founder and the 11 witnesses (I think it was eleven), has seen.

    Allthough they were written some time afterwards, and one at least was likely a copy of one of the others with bits added or removed, multiple witnesses and written accounts, while not exactly setting in stone (hah), do strengthen the probability of an event being true.

    Don't Mormon's believe they are god's and goddesses, and they get their 'bible' from a buried manuscript from in the ground and that the native americans are the true israelis's, etc.

    You have an ipad?

    Does everyone in Norway have an Ipad?

    If not, how does it feel to be a member of the bugeroise slowy consolidating power through the use of Apple products feel?

    If so, I would like a plane ticket and a place on the couch.

    As for mormons? Good people, first long term relationship was with a mormon girl, very nice family. Much better than some of sado masochists pretending to be baptists running about.

    At least when mormons don't drink they have family board game night. I got a heavy dose of sexual repression from the blue hairs

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Because Mormonism is another idolatrous man-made religion. The true Christian religion however has existed since creation and unlike the whole world system of religions with their arbitrary commandments etc, the law of Christ is written in men's hearts and is self-evident to those that are born again.

    All other religions are created by a prophet at some point in human history... when with Mohammed in the 7th century for Islam, Catholicism around the 4th Century, Judaism with Moses (which they do not realise was meant to lead them to Christ), Mormonism with Joseph Smith etc. These religious systems do not even pretend to have deeper roots, they were created with their founding figures.

    On the other hand, Christianity was not created by Jesus 2,000 years ago, but with the creation of Adam. In Christianity, morality is not something arbitrary based on following strange rituals or observances (despite the best efforts of depraved man to make it so, whether within Catholicism, Orthodoxy, or much of Protestantism), but is instead a natural law, which all men understand by nature. And this is what sets Christianity apart from the whole Babylonian system of world religions.

    And this is why a Mormon should never be President. If a man lives by the man-made laws of the different religions, and not the true natural law, then he will never be a moral ruler. Like the pharisees he can make the outside of the vessel clean with his ritual washings, but the inside will always be full of iniquity, and this will reflect itself in his Presidency.

    But then, the USA already has Catholics and atheists for Presidents, so...
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
