Mitt Romney = Agent Of Satan?
(by way of Brian Flemming) And the line regarding non-profits participating in politics is ignored again 1) the rant is funny as, well, hell. 2) liveprayer is a non-profit of the variety which is not allowed to do campaigning for specific politicians (or against, for that matter) or they lose their tax-exempt status. As I understand it, they can campaign on issues, just not for people. Anyhow, Americans United For The Separation Of Church And State sent a letter to the IRS. Getting away from the legalities of the situation, Keller is right. (bet you didn't see THAT coming) The fact is that the Mormons believe a very different flavor of fable than most mainstream christians. For it to be true, would be like finding out your father had a second family somewhere. Everything would come undone. Now, whats really GOOD about this is, as others have noted, that if you are going to attack someone's religious beliefs, you invariably will have to defend your own. This is particularly true here as Mormonism is an offshoot, and so SOMEONE will have to point out the distinctions. With luck, the first time someone gets up there and says "Because a centuries old book with an unverifiable author or series of authors told me so, I believe that a man was killed and then rose, bodily, from the grave. Both before and after his 'death', he performed numerous miracles, none of which can be confirmed. Also, just because there's no significant mention of this, obviously very important, individual in any of the texts of the day, doesn't mean it didn't happen. What Mitt believes is that this person then came to America and performed more works. Also, Mitt beleives that this was revealed to his prophet through an angel showing him where certain golden plates where hidden. God then helped this man translate these plates.", people will realize that there's really no significant difference in the basis for either of these beliefs. You either believe the fairy tale or you don't. You can't really argue one is more believable than the other. Of course, no one is likely to say that, even if they phrase it differently. You could put that in the nicest, most flowery language possible, and it would still sound like crazy.
