Obama's a Christian ...

[Onlooker]

... and Rmoney belongs to a cult religion that believes women only get salvation through their men, that blacks are from "Cain's seed" (blacks weren't allowed in the Tabernacle until 1978), that your station is life is determined by the quality of your ancestors (that's why Mormon's are always converting the dead), that Jesus visited the United States, that coffee is sinful, that there are multiple Gods each with His own universe, that magic underwear can protect you from evil.

If the right can attack Reverend Wright, why can't the left attack Mormonism? It's a disgusting homophobic religion that played a major role in defeating gay marriage in CA. Years ago, I read that Utah had the highest incidence of bankruptcy because Mormons believe that if you're not doing financially well, it reflects on your ancestors, so everyone was busy keeping up with the Jones'.

Okay, I admit I sound right wing with my intolerance, but why does the right get to be intolerant whenever they want? Why can't we throw their shit back at them, and say, "Vote for the real Christian, not the Mormon!"

1. "Why can't we throw their shit back at them"?

Because one of the defining differences between them and us is that we are thinking adults. not poo flinging monkeys! (apologies to monkeys!).

2. The suggestion in your last sentence is probably a problem on this board, but there are

places in FaceBook that are specifically about saying that kind of stuff, they're public groups too, so all you have to do is find them.

3. Because when you descend to the level of

those that roll around in the gutter, you get just as slimy as they are.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Why drag religion into it, anyway? There are a lot of people (myself included) who would be very turned off by your "vote for the real Christian" slogan.

4. Many of DU's anti gay contingent will tell you it is wrong to criticize hate filled dogma

including all the racism, it is 'off limits' in their eyes, because it is the part of Mitt they all agree with. They say 'defend racism if it masqurades as religion'.

5. I love how religion was such a HUGE issue in 2008

and still is. People ALWAYS say Obama is Muslim, whether they are just spewing BS or they really believe that, it does not matter. They should look at who Obama really is, and who Romney really is, and see whose religious beliefs really align with theirs if that's going to be an issue for them. I would prefer if religion wasn't even a factor, but that will never happen in this country.

6. believe me, I've been tempted

especially when my face book scroll is peppered with religious stuff from old hs classmates and some family.
but I don't, cause it's rude. I still want to though.

9. It doesn't play well to attack someone for their religion

Unless you're solely in right-wing circles. Moderate, center-oriented folks, those we really need to reach, don't really care for that. That's why we don't do it.

[bushisanidiot]

12. That's the thing. No one has attacked Romney for his religion

and the press hasn't talked about President Obama being a born again christian AT ALL.
Infact, they let the muslim comments roll off their backs as if they didn't hear them.

10. Evangelicals will say they are for romney when being polled, but they won't show up for him in nov.

just my opinion, but there will be a lot of hard right wingers who are going to have "what am i doing?" moment when realizing they are about to vote for a mormon, and they will stay home.
