Clueless...
Dec. 7th, 2007 09:17 amAs if my opinion about the Media could drop no further(including Faux Noise), I listened to the Praise Romney’s speech was given. It just Proved to me that they don’t “Get It”….
The Fundamentalist complaint about Mormons isn’t that they’re afraid the Quorum of 12 is going to run the country(at leas at this stage;>), it’s that they are HERETICS. Unlike us, who the nicer Christians would consider mislead, they consider the LDS to actively be MISLEADING folks from Christ. Unlike the average Joe, most Fundies both Know their Theology and that of their competitors…and why it is Wrong in their Opinion.
The Mormons use many terms in common with Christians to which have markedly different meanings. Think the difference between American and English English with the words, Fag, Piss and Shag;>. To a non-Christian(for who I consider most that say that they are Christian, yet don’t Believe 90% of the religion’s Teachings…) the Words are the Words….since they don’t Know the meanings.
I grew up in a family that was mostly LDS. The ones that weren’t were Catholic or S. Baptist. I Learned the differences LOUDLY and VIGOROUSLY;>! In some ways the LDS Church can be considered Polytheistic. You have a Father and a Mother In Heaven. ‘Course, the Mormon Mother Goddess' only purpose is to be Eternally Pregnant and giving Birth, like a Termite Queen. All Souls on Earth come from her…including non-Mormons. Jesus is not the same Being as Father-In-Heaven. Every Temple Worthy couple when they die get their own planet to become the God & Goddess of. Oh, this generally only happens when the couple is the 1st in the family to BE Mormon. All offspring became lesser God/desses, though no one ever explained what they do. Just a bit different than the standard Christian view accepted even between Catholics and Protestants….
Troth,
