:rofl:

On Edit: As witnessed by the first couple of posts....the knee jerkers have come a running.

Come on now.... If you don't think it is hilarious that a party who is dominated by racists and Christian fundamentalist has two leading candidates that are non-Christian and non-white is funny....

Well--- then OK.

4. ...walk into a bar and the bartender says
"What'll it be?"

The black guy says, "Ask Mitt. He keeps saying he 'needs a stiff one'."

The bartender eyes the Mormon, then yells to the back, "Max, get your hairy ass out here! We've got another horny Republican!"

12. They're reinventing themselves like Mr. Potato Head trying on Strawberry Shortcake gear.
No offense intended to anyone doing the same, I'm sure you have far more integrity than them.

13. Mormons ARE Christians.
Unless the following is not a part of Christian belief. It sounds like what I heard constantly from the Christian churches I've attended, Christan people who have "witnessed" to me, and Christian pastors who have attempted to minister to me. :shrug:

What do Mormons believe about Jesus Christ? Do Mormons believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God?

Jesus Christ is the literal Son of God. His birth, life, death, and resurrection fulfilled the many prophecies contained in the scriptures concerning the coming of a Savior. He was the Creator, He is our Savior, and He will be our Judge (see Isaiah 9:6, 53:3-7; Psalms 22:16-18).

Under the direction of our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ created the earth (John 1:10; Hebrews 1:2).

When Jesus lived on the earth (approximately 2,000 years ago), He led a perfect life. He taught by word and example how people should live in love of God and others.

Through His suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane and by giving His life on the cross—that is, by performing the Atonement —Jesus Christ saves us from our sins (1 Peter 2:21) as we follow Him. Because of the Atonement, you can be forgiven of your sins when you sincerely repent (Book of Mormon, Mosiah 26:30).

Through His Resurrection, Jesus Christ saved us from death. Because He overcame death, we will all be given the gift of resurrection, that is to say our spirits will be eternally re-united with our bodies (Acts 24:15; 1 Corinthians 15:22). When life on this earth is over, Jesus Christ will be the final Judge (Acts 17:31; John 5:21-22; Acts 10:42).

15. True.
I don't think one faction gets to decide that though, whether they'd like to or not.

That's really what's wrong with most; the obsession with one-size-fits-all.
