2. They Sure are...
to claim to be a person of God and then do this tells me they follow the opposite of that God and are too hateilled or stupid to realize it.

3. Advise her to ignore it. "Wedge" politics aren't worth it. The (R's) have
made it their forte, yet I think their time is limited, as is their ploy.

6. She will ignore it. I almost asked her to forward it to me to read but I thought better of that
She said she read the first sentence and hit the delete button.

13. The problem with that reply
is that the Mormon teaching that Jesus and Satan are brothers, is also the same teaching that says black people are the descendants of the 1/3 of the angels who were too lazy to fight for either Jesus or Satan.

So that belief wouldn't reflect on Obama any better than the lie that he's a Muslim, unfortunately.

17. That and
Edited on Thu Jan-03-08 05:59 PM by FreeState
LDS theology teaches everyone literally is Brothers and Sisters. Translation = Jesus and Satan are brothers to everyone thats ever lived - because they are all created by God.

Also the church does not teach that blacks are descendants of the 1/3 in the pre-existence. Brigham Young and a couple others speculated that the 1/3 are those that are black (not descendants because we were all there in LDS teachings) - however this has never been part of LDS cannon or official teachings.

7. Sad, sad, sad
Why resort to this nonsense? All the more reason why I have a serious problem with Mormons. They're nice and all but they certainly need to get their theology straight!

9. Hu?
What does an email that was not written by a Mormon - that is getting passed around every GOP email loop have to do with LDS theology?

14. Basically
While they believe in the Trinity, the issue I have with them is the worship is separate and not equal as it should be (reference Deut. 6:4)

18. Is it true that you will actually get your own planet someday? I've heard this is true...
Help me out here.

20. It depends on who you talk to
Edited on Thu Jan-03-08 06:07 PM by FreeState
Basically it is the belief that every worthy member that enters into the highest degree of heaven will inherit all that God has - and to some that includes planets etc. But no one really knows - its never been part of scripture that they will inherit planets however, just speculation based on statements made from church leaders that have died almost 100 years ago.

(Just and FYI in LDS theology there are three kingdoms in heaven - the lowest is supposed to be better than here - and the only way to go to Hell - something Mormons call "Outer Darkness" - is to be a member of the Church, hold the priesthood - i.e. be male - and have Jesus come down in the flesh to you but deny his divinity to the Holy Ghost. )

21. Have her send it back with an addendum:
1) Michelle Obama is his senior wife. The other four range in age from 8 to 14.
2) He sacrifices small animals to his heathen Gods every Saturday night. And twice on Sunday to defile the Sabbath.
3) His prayer rug is made from the pubic hair of aborted kittens.
4) He has an 11" penis and, unlike your husband, his works.
5) You're a racist, intolerant, bigoted, small-minded mental cripple.

23. I was most scared of Giuliani's neocon evil. Now I think Mitt is the worst.
Edited on Thu Jan-03-08 07:20 PM by faygokid
He is one frightening guy to change his positions so radically. I think he will do anything to get the nomination. Anything, including this.

Proof? Looks like Faux News has gone over to Romney. Never very hard to tell with Faux, and he is getting the worship treatment.
