Rosie offered a crystal clear view of the inner workings of the Moonbat mind. She probably was so caught off guard with the Muslim thing that she actually didnt realize she said it was ok to be bigotted.

As far as the book of Mormon goes, yes, its very very weird as was the guy who wrote it. Mormons believe that while Jesus was god, he was just one of many others and that Mormon Men (sorry ladies, godhood is limited to men) too can become gods of their own planets in the afterlife (a reflection on the author and his views). Though Mormonism is no where close to the level of Islam - which is a religion based on the pagan Moon god Allah and is rather bloodthirsty at its heart as Mohammad was the kind of guy that would kill you sooner than look at you unless you bowed down to worship Allah.

Not quite true. Yes, Mormonism believes in the eternal progression of the soul, and that one can eventually become like God and be worthy to remain in the presence of God. But it doesn't believe that a single lifetime is long enough to learn enough to reach that state. It's really no more bizarre than what other denominations believe. The Roman Catholics have, or had, Limbo, and Purgatory, and the conditions prescribed to each and held that the sacrament literally became the flesh of Christ.

My personal, and non-canonical view, is that Joseph Smith did receive some sort of revelation regarding the structure of the cosmos and in the process of putting what he saw into words used the language of his time, and the literal and metaphorical thus became confused. But the central and recurring theme of the Book of Mormon is that societies that maintain God's Laws grow strong, and those that abandon God's Laws weaken and perish. I don't think there is anything weird about that.

V the K noted: "...one can eventually become like God and be worthy to remain in the presence of God. But it doesn't believe that a single lifetime is long enough to learn enough to reach that state".

What you've noted about Mormonism negates grace, which is the very basis of Christianity. What you've espoused is in essence no different from what most other religions promote, i.e. earning one's way (these paths vary between religions) and through higher levels achieve "worthiness".

The truth is, no one can achieve worth under the law. This was the hard lesson the Hebrews learned under the priesthood of Levi (Aaron). When Christ came in the flesh He changed that. Christ is of the order of Melchizedek, which is HIs own, and through Him we are no longer "under the law". A good thing considering we are condemned by the law. As for the Catholic church: it incorporated all sorts of idolatrous ideology, but there are many of us who recognize this thanks to the Reformation.

I agree with one of your statements. I too believe Smith did receive a revelation...but it wasn't from the God of Abraham.

What you've noted about Mormonism negates grace, .

Not true.

The analogy used to explain the Mormon concept of the role of Christ is that of the man who owes a great debt to another man. The two men are brought before a judge. If the judge simply forgives the debt, that is grace without justice. If the debtor is punished, that is justice without grace. The role of Christ is to assume the debt and pay it himself, thus providing grace to the debtor, and justice to the man owed.

"Sniveling coward, dhimmi" -- that says it all about O'Donnell and the rest of these lib wusses when it comes to Islam.

This moron O'Donnell is saying that he thinks the believers in Mohammad are essentially just as crazy as the despised Mormons, but he's too scared of the RoP'ers to say anything out loud (they might, in fact, they probably would, kill him). So, Larry, your choices are: live as a slave under Islamic rule, or live without your head (for a few seconds, anyway), since you refuse to state the truth and fight for whatever perversion it is you believe in (it sure isn't in America) -- makes you a pussy of the first order, there, Larry.

V the K: Your statement of grace contradicts the previous statement...

"But it (Mormonism) doesn't believe that a single lifetime is long enough to learn enough to reach that state"

Why would it require more than one lifetime to achieve grace if Christ has already paid the price for us all? We have only to receive it now. If others are in ignorance then the millennium of teaching and rule is for them and for those who accepted grace at the get-go. There is no gradation required to "learn enough to reach that state".

The frequently used analogy is that of the bicycle. God the Father supplies you with a bicycle, but you must make the choice to ride on it, and you must put forth the effort to arrive at your destination.

Loser says what.
