The title of this post is a direct quote from Bill Keller (actually its from 2007, but Keller hasnt changed his mind). Keller is supposedly the worlds leading Internet Evangelist and founder of LivePrayer.com, with over 2.4 million subscribers. Bill Keller describes Mormonism as a cult founded by a murdering polygamist pedophile named Joseph Smith.
Some of the Mormon requirements and beliefs are really, really odd and just serve to increase its status in the eyes of Christians as a cult. For example: young, unmarried Mormon men are required to do two years of door-to-door proselytizing. Im sure youve seen them; creepy guys in white shirts and ties wearing backpacks, always traveling in pairs. During this time of service, they are allowed on the internet for only 20 minutes a day and only allowed to visit ONE website: mormon.org. Theyre taught that god is a flesh and blood person of substance, living on a planet near a star they call Kolob (sound a little like Scientology?) with his wives. Yes, apparently god himself is a polygamist. They also believe that Jesus and Satan were once brothers and that Jesus was also a polygamist. And let us not forget the magic underwear.
For more Mormon ridiculousness, see one of my earlier posts.
It might be hard for a prospective Mormon to believe in all this shit, so they are encouraged to pray to god to ask if the book of Mormon is true. They are told that the answer will come to them by means of a burning sensation in their bosom. A little Taco Bell before prayer apparently helps.
You can see how Christians have issues with all this. In a Public Religion Research Institute poll released in November, 49% of evangelical voters surveyed said they do not regard the Mormon faith as a Christian religion. Craig Berman, who did a short stint as Newt Gingrichs Iowa State Political Director said that nominating a Mormon would result in President Obamas re-election
as a punishment from God.
So, this is a call to all self-proclaimed right-wing Christians who would vote Republican in November. Unless you are a complete hypocrite, you simply cannot vote for Romney. Surely, the supposed 2.4 million subscribers to Bill Kellers website certainly cannot in good conscience vote for that heathen, hell-bound Mormon. Since it now appears inevitable that Romney will indeed receive the nomination from the Republican party, it stands to reason that any true Christian Republican has two only choices: Vote for Obama or do not vote at all.
Poster Comment:
Of course voting for Obama. or not voting at all are not the only choices. Libertarian Party, and Constitution Party are good, as well as writing in a candidate.
Don't vote for Satan Romney, or Beelzebub Obama!
