  • America itself was "Pro-Life" until 1973

    Why is it that you do not refer to America and Americans pre-1973 as ''Pro-Life'' which is what we were? Is your reluctance based on the now current GroupThink among American Liberal Leftists, that ''Pro-Life'' equals ''Fundamentalist'' equals ''Threat''? No doubt, Neo-Con Republicans and their goofy ''We Are the Military Masters of the World'' ...

  • The Source of Huckabee's Support

    Earlier in the campaign (when admittedly there was less to talk about), there was a series of surveys that showed a significant percentage of the population was not willing to vote for a Mormon. Huckabee and McCain have both in turn exploited that with not-so-subtle digs at Romney and Mormons in general, but I've seen nothing on this topic since. ...

  • Re: religion in politics

    Jabez 41 point taken EXCEPT, in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (MORMON) they believe they have a Prophet who communes with God Almighty in their Salt Lake City International Temple. Why is this NOT good? If that ''Prophet'' were to tell President Romney that God told him to have the President to push the button on the Football ...

  • Mormons and women

    One discussion that has appeared nowhere in the news is the issue of Mormonism and women. As Mitt is a Mormon, his religious beliefs about women will bias his decisions at the very least. It is my understanding that Mormons do not allow women to be priests. They cannot hold any position of authority within the church. If men wish to ...

  • Mormons are Polytheists

    When a Rabbi gave a talk to my Catholic high school class many years ago, he began by assuring us that no modern Jew would call us Christians polytheists. Since we had never heard of such a thing, we were more puzzled than assured. But both Muslims and Jews have some trouble with the doctrine of the trinity: That there are three persons in one ...

  • Hitchens article vastly inaccurate

    After reading Mr. Hitchens' last article full of acerbic rants on Mitt Romney and Mormonism, I didn't expect anything warm and fuzzy as I picked up this article. I get it. He doesn't like Mormons. But, boy, did he get his facts wrong! I don't know what kind of fantasy world he lives in or which wannabe-Mormon he spoke to to get his ''facts'', but ...

  • Romney a phony, not a fanatic.

    I think there are some legitimate complaints about the Mormon religion. Its founder indeed married underage girls, performed elaborate rituals with ''seer'' stones which certainly seemed like parlor tricks. And the church of Mormon has a long history of racism and the subjugation women. Utah was founded as theocracy, with the churches leaders ...

  • I agree- but...

    I agree with the position taken by the author that Mitt needs to talk more about his religion. Religion is one of those things that helps form the core of many people. Therefore understanding Mitt's religion can help us understand who he is and what he will stand for if elected. That being said, however, I fundamentally disagree with the manner ...

  • Re: I AM A MORMON

    The inventory of good works cited by ''I AM A MORMON'' reminds me a lot of the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector from Luke 18: 18:10 ''Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector. 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: 'God, I thank you, that I am not ...

  • What Mormons Believe!

    There is a great way to know exactly what the Mormons believe. Instead of asking all of their neighbors and enemies what the Mormons believe, why don't we take a look at it in their own words. I have looked at www.mormon.org and www.lds.org and by so doing have come to better understand that Mormons are true Christians with strong Moral and Family ...
