    One big bash? Where?

    The ridicule of the christian belief was not ridiculing christianity, it was ridiculing the missing logic emplpyed by those who hate the mormons, to illustrate that a Mormons belief isn't more far-fetched than any other christian claim.

    Weird founding history? You mean like a virgin giving birth? How much weirder can one get? Honestly?

    Take the faith out of christianity and it all falls to pieces. Take the faith out of the mormonism and it all falls to pieces. I see no difference whatsoever between the two and the hate exhibited by those who themselves claim to be hated(by the "liberal media") is astounding.

    ...... virgin birth is actually pretty common in stories throughout history.

    There's a south park episode about this. Not exactly accurate, or even completely serious, but I think it covers the main criticisms.

    Maybe Mary was a time traveller from the future who had IVF before travelling to 2000 years ago. The advanced technology of the future provides logical explanations for how all the miracles occured.

    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.
