I just read this WordPress Post (CLICK HERE) on Pat Robertson endorsing Rudy Giuliani for President. I have blogged about Pat Robertson before on at least a couple of occasions. I think he has said some of the dumbest things I ever heard.
But as for American presidential elections I have to agree with many that Democrats are hollow and delusional people who are all for big bureaucracy and Republicans generally stand for personal selfishness and the rich. Christianity is their sidekick slogan to keep Christian vote bank secure. If Conservative and Republicans are CHRISTIAN then why in the name of hell EVERY SINGLE conservative blog and website mentions Atlas Shrugged as their favorite book? Is it not supposed to be an Atheist’s tome, albeit with capitalist, materialist underpinning.
But anyway, I am all for Laissez faire, individual freedom, personal ambition and small but efficient government that assists the people, not tell them how to change their nappies (and where to buy their nappies from, what to do with used nappies etc.) So, I am for promising and negotiable Republican presidents rather than sleazy and cardboard Democrats. And I like Rudy (and months ago I endorsed him as my favorite presidential candidate) I like him for his powerful leadership qualities, humility and very down to earth character. Pat Robertson has made one wise choice that ever came to my notice.
And what about Mormons? I always loathed this cult of narrow minded White supremacists with polygamy and pedophilia (14,15 year old wives) and other disgusting lifestyles that they proudly carry on- in secret- but rarely advertise them as ”mainstream Mormonism”. Even Christian fundies are much better than these rotten brains. At least it is possible to talk to Christian fundies and they have some grace, dignity, forgiveness, tolerance. But Mormons (telling it from my personal experience) are bizarre and very gay about their polygamous heterosexuality and close-mindedness.
And I hate it how they’re always referring to their official website no matter what question you ask them about their cult. ”Please visit lds.org” something. I mean who gives a flying fuck? Mitt Romney is so ashamed of his nutty cult that he rarely says he is a Mor(m)on.
Wow, you are so off on your understanding of Mormonism, it is laughable. Mormons no longer live polygamy, not even in secret. Your pedophelia comment is not even worth a response, and the racism charge is unfounded. In fact the LDS Church is among the most inclusive of all races as an organization. Here is a link to a speech the President of the Church gave on racism last year to the general populace of the Church: http://lds.org/conference/talk/display/0,5232,23-1-602-20,00.html.
Oh, but wait that link is to the Church’s website, so must not be worth anything. Well then, here is another site you can go to: http://www.dryflypolitics.com, there is a Mormon Q&A page where you can ask whatever you want about Mormonism.
You’ve only proved what I said about Mormons. As for links, no thanks. If I want to learn about any religion or philosophy I can always go to Wikipedia or reputed websites like http://www.beliefnet.com or http://www.religioustolerance.com. By the way, I wonder if you ever caught South Park episode on Mormonism. I am no South Park fan but that was just great.
Second, polygamy, sexual relations by Mormon men with several -usually very young- women does go on. Only about 2-3 years back one middle aged Mormon man was inviting TV camera crews into his stable of young wives and proudly showing it off. How could that happen without the knowledge of his folks? Just because it is not on LDS website, does not mean it is not tolerated or ignored in quite a few Mormon societies.
Third, premises of Mormonism and that Smith guy are laughable. This is one great joke that ever became a religion in the history of mankind.
I’m sorry that you feel that way about mormons! I think they are the most amazing, kind, good hearted, super rad people in the world!
Hey, lots of heavy words in a single sentence. And… judging by the name of your blog, that was a clever self-aggrandizement in one sentence. Well, done Mormon girl.
That’s just my personal feeling. And just so you know I am a convert of 2 years. Mormons have been so wonderful to me. Hence the blog name, not because I rock, but because the Mormon people rock! I love them
You cannot be blamed for loving ”Mormons”. It’s the human nature. We love all those we benefit from.
