As if on cue
HuffPo starts their campaign of “Look! Mormons are nutty!”
As if we didn’t know that. The guy who wrote the book had no idea he was going to get this much press, good for him, I guess.
What maroons.

Still waiting on that post about how nutty Black Liberation Marxist churches are.
I have lived in Mormon territory and have worked with Mormons. I would rather work with them as I find them to be very decent people.
I’ve known and worked with a lot of colored people as well.
I would pick a mormon as a co worker at the drop of a hat.
Call it racist, but that is the way I see it.
I always said if there was going to be a broadening of marriage laws, polygamy should have first crack, due to its acceptance historically and worldwide today. Any guy willing to have a household with more than one irritable wife and multiple meddling mothers-in-law, all at the same time, with divorce unthinkable, carry on, my brother, you have more of a cast iron constitution than I.
Considering how many Americans already participated in either serial polygamy, or de facto with a wife at home and a steady affair on the side (old timers used to call them “kept women”), remind me where this is so nutty again?
I’ll see you one Mormon wacky book and raise you one Muslim Wacky Book.
Let’s see them go after that.
In (rabbinic) Judaism, polygamy is outlawed only by rabbinic decree…that some say expired in 1240AD.
Not that my wife would agree to that sort of thing, mind you. :)
So what exactly was the point of that article, other than to regurgitate facts about the Mormons that even non-Mormons have known for decades?
I suspect Professor Jan Shipps probably has a more balanced approach.
Perhaps we are to reject Mitt Romney as a serious candidate for President, because of the policy of his church regarding plural marriage. That would probably make sense, if it weren’t for the fact that his church discontinued that policy before Romney’s parents were born. Also, if I’m not mistaken, Romney is one of the few contenders in recent memory who hasn’t cheated on his wife.
Kinda makes me wonder.
Let’s put a stop to this right now. A campaign of referring to the HuffPo as hate-mongers ought to do this quickly.
Here’s the embarrassing truth I’ve learned so far about Mitt Romney. What little I know about him leads me to believe that he’s both a better man and a better Christian than I am.
Ditto, Dave. he may not be my ideal choice for a candidate- in fact it’s harder to get much further away from my ideal choice- but he seems to be a damned decent man.
>> What maroons.
You mean the Mormons or the Huffies?
The huffies. Naturally.
