  • Fantastic article!

    Someone tell me why those in the USA who try so hard to get the 10 commandments posted all over in our public square and taught to our kids in school break so many of them trying to get that done? And also fight so hard to take money from the poor and middle class and put in the hands of the rich? And also to keep corporate greed-based health ...

  • Whoppers?

    You say the ideas of angels visiting Joseph Smith, and of Smith translating an ancient record by divine power, are such ridicuous ''whoppers'' that you can't take a believer seriously as a potential leader. Why do you think these beliefs are more ridiculous than, say, the belief that Jesus was put to death by crucifixion, lay dead in a tomb, rose ...

  • 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 ...

  • Proud to be Mormon

    Wow! This article really hurt my feelings. Politics is one thing and it seems that mudslinging within campaigning is tolerated, however some of the comments made in this article went beyond mudslinging at a cadidate and were more directed at the religion itself. I don't know what exactly qualifies Mr. Christopher Hitchens as an expert of my ...

  • Mitt Romney Campaign

    It is ridiculous that Romney's faith should play such a huge role in this campaign. The Mormon way of life is commendable, and should be researched (using non-biased sources) thoroughly before any rash judgments are made about it. Why is Obama not being attacked for being Black? (Of course not, that would be discriminatory) Why isn't Clinton ...

  • 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 ...

  • blatant prejudice

    Perhaps, if one is going to write a piece on an individual with a specific religious affiliation, one should not be ''anti'' that religion. Making such petty attacks upon the LDS church only decreases the author's credibility, which was shaky enough due to factual errors about this faith. The autho states that Mormons believe that a ''skin of ...

  • What Garbage!!!!!!

    This is such a slanted and bigoted article it is a disgrace to jouralism. Mitt Romney's religion or the religion of any cantidate should not be a factor in this election. We have seperation on church and state in this country which should keep religion out of the political areena. What should matter is the cantidates personal political beliefs ...

  • How Christopher makes a living

    Chistopher Hitchens works stirs emotions regardless of why he does it or how great of person he is or isn't. For me his work creates feelings of sadness and at times promote me to sense of action. He seems to me in this article, along with many other peoples comments here to cry for Mormon honesty. I have read a few of his other articles and he ...

  • So bigotry is now journalism?

    I am appalled that the editors of Slate chose to publish this exercise in bigotry, prejudice, and ignorance. Since when is it acceptable journalistic behavior for a public intellectual to insult and ridicule people's religion? To begin an article with a bald statement of prejudice? What happened to research, insight, explanation, ...
