jj325: Republicans shouldn't nominate Mitt Romney because he believes in a bunch of kooky things about the afterlife whatever his current audience believes

Is it Romney's camp that's behind all these "I'm a Mormon" TV commercials? I figured it had to be related to him somehow...

ignatiusst: jchic: What mormons believe isn't any nuttier than what any other religious type believes.



- He will become a "god" in the afterlife and be given his own planet

- Satan is Jesus' literal brother

- Jesus was not born of a virgin birth

- He will be given his own afterlife kingdom where he will have sexual relations with his wife, Ann, to populate his kingdom with spirit children as God the Father Himself has a wife on His own planet.


Uh.. yeah, it is..

"Different" and "nuttier" are not the same thing. From an outside point of view, they're both nutty.

Not directly, but yes. The Mormon church started those a few years ago, to make the idea of Mormon politicians more palatable.

They must have recently gotten some more "donations", because they're absolutely everywhere in my region.

I'll wait to hear the final word on if Mormons are a threat to the American way of life. All these ministers can say what they want, but until the Klan adds them to their list of hated groups, then they are okay. We'll see what the ruling is after their convention in Tampa during the last week of August in 2012.

ignatiusst: Uh.. yeah, it is..

As opposed to the belief that a cosmic Jewish zombie who is his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and drink his blood, while telepathically telling him that you accept him as your master, so that he can remove an evil force from your soul which is present in all humanity because a woman made out of one rib bone and a mound of dirt was tricked into eating fruit from a magical tree by a talking snake?

I don't know, man...they think indians are actually jews.

Aarontology: So the GOP is going to toss away the only real chance they have due to religious bigotry.

Hilarious.



Ironic and hilarious

It's fascinating to me that, in the year 2011, different branches of Christianity are still selling the notion that there are strange and mysterious things about what those "others" really believe.

ignatiusst: Uh.. yeah, it is..

The belief that an all powerful being that exists beyond time and space created us trumps any of these little details, so no, it's not any sillier.

The 20 pct that votes Republican 100 pct of the time will not vote for a 'Non Christian' under any circumstances whatsoever.

They voted for the RINO Appeaser McCain in 2008.

That really does make Cain the frontrunner.

Your point?

Uh.. yeah, it is..

Wait, NOT believing in the virgin birth of Christ is nuttier than believing in said birth?

his religion is strange, but i would still vote for him a hundred times over obama.

ignatiusst: The real translation: When I die, I am going to become the invisible sky wizard of my own planet.

I really don't understand why I'm supposed to view that magical hoopla with any more derision than any other magical hoopla being peddled by delusional nuts.

Just because his delusions are different from the majority delusions doesn't make any of the delusions involved any more or less delusional. Every religious person on the planet believes in magic and until you talk about what that actually leads them to do, that's all that matters. And since I don't think Mormon magic is making most Mormons any crazier than other magic, I think you're just all equally nuts and I think the people pretending their magic is better than his magic are the ones I should be more worried about.

Why is his believes anymore kooky than EVERYONE else who goes to church that believes that kooky shiat happens after they die?
Oh right its different then the other ritualised cannibal churches.
/I don't support Romney, but fair is fair

Fact: Mormons are better christians than evangelicals

The mormans believe that it's prophecy that a Morman will lead the nation someday. Yes, the Mos are chomping at the bit and salivating at the fact that Romney could be elected.
Don't you think for a minute that the Mo church will not be constantly hounding Romney to start putting Mormon backed legislation in place. It's what they dream about.
If this ass clown gets elected, I may seriously have to move out of Utah. The smug cloud in this valley would be unbearable.

ignatiusst: Uh.. yeah, it is..

So wait, mormons get a whole planet to rule over when they die? shiat, that's pretty sweet, way better than clouds and harps and white robes. I'm totally going to get them to do one of those post-death baptisms, just on the off chance they're right. I can continue being all atheisty now, then after I'm dead if I find out they were on the level, bam; I'm Ming the Merciless.

And I get to enjoy coffee and beer now! It's win-win!

And, you will end up with the *exact* same thing. Again.

Yeah, when you can actually look at it from the outside, it's all nuts. Religion really is the only socially acceptable delusion.

/there's a 0% chance all religions are right
//thus it is infinitely more likely that all religions are wrong.

That IS silly. Everyone knows they're Japanese.

And Remember, if you're catholic, it isnt symbolic, it is literally the blood and flesh of the savior.
