Yep. If Mitt gets the nom, there are dark days ahead for LDS. If you think they are dancin' a jig now, wait 'till then. Talk about under a microscope, yikes!!
Mormons are Christians because they believe in Christ. It's really nonsensical to try to argue that someone isn't what they claim to be and believe they are. I've been guilty of using "Christians" as a sort of short-hand for "mainline evangelical Christians" before, but I don't try to argue that Mormons aren't, themselves, also Christian. It's really not for anyone to say who is and isn't a Christian, if they believe they are.
Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen

Bring it on. I relish the challenge. My experience has shown that the Church only gets stronger when opposition is applied.

Yes, that's called the siege mentality kicking in. Nothing like a strong external threat, whether real or perceived, to galvanize the solidarity of the membership.

It's a slang name we called each other when we were kids, because when the parents were around and we couldn't say "penis-head."

Yes, but then again he is supposed to represent the people of Idaho. A gay hater is what they want.

You are making quite a leap from not supporting gay marriage to "hater".

The typical reaction of one who has been stymied and debunked on a continuous basis.......

I would think Christ might be able to offer an opinion. Wait, I think he has.
