  • A gay member of the LDS?

    It's called an Oxy-Mormon.

  • Re: "Practicing"?

    ''The idea of controlling the language and framing the debate...is to cement in the common consciousness...'' Language is often used as a battleground. Change language and you have changed perception, it is argued. That is the basis of the political correctness movement. I would argue that, while ''practice homosexuality'' is somewhat ...

  • I have a radical solution....BAN ALL MARRIAGE!

    The approval of Proposition 8 in California as well as the changes in legislation in various states defining marriage as the union between one man and one woman have made me angry. How dare U.S. voters, especially those in minority populations themselves help to legislate discrimination against a group of tax paying citizens? Why should straight ...

  • Obama's Nobel Prize-McCain Stole the Election

    Isn’t interesting how all the major TV and cable networks (except balanced FOX), along with all of Hollywood (except Chuck Norris), the entire music industry (except country) all of academia (except economists) and all European Nations (including Canada ;-) are pushing for Obama and the polls are still close?! The Communist News Network (CNN) and ...

  • 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: Hinckley

    There is some cognitive dissonance here, really. On the one hand, it is admirable that the Mormon Church is become a little bit more progressive and ethnically diverse with time. Some might say they are merely responding to inevitable pressures of public opinion, the same way that they renounced polygamy in 1890, because it was an obstacle to ...

  • Re: why is questioning Mormonism's Christianity wrong?

    ARE MORMONS CHRISTIAN? . I offer these excerpts from The Book of Mormon in answer: . Ether 3: 14 Behold, I am he who was prepared from the foundation of the world to redeem my people. Behold, I am Jesus Christ. I am the Father and the Son. In me shall all mankind have life, and that eternally, even they who shall believe on my name; and they ...

  • Re: He could have...

    bornloser: Ah it's no fun being inarticulate.. What I mean is, in context of the Mormon's beliefs, the idea that Jesus and Satan might be brothers is surely a lot tamer, duller, and more rational than the scary cult feeling that Huckabee gives it by taking it out of context. Good thing Lieberman isn't running, or he'd be asking whether ...

  • 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 ...
