Mormons

So essentially all literalists/fundamentalists, who have a book called the Bible as the center of their religions, are cultists. Correct?It just astounds be how vehemently other brands of fundy go after Mormons as Evil, Apostate, Sorry-Assed Sunsabitches. There was a "ministry" in the little town next to where I lived in Oklahoma whose entire "mission" was to expose Mormonism and rescue those who were not too deep in its clutches. Now I, personally, wouldn't want to bicycle around in a white shirt and tie, but hey - who are they hurting?

Then the Invisible Pink Unicorn wins, hands (hooves?) down! An eternal beach party with ham-and-pineapple pizza! Hallelujah!

And Joshua, do you really think it necessary to kill every one of those Amekalites, and Ai-ites,......

But your book damn sure instructs the Chosen People (TM) to kill just about everybody they come across, George! They save a few virgin girls for slaves in a case or two, but the verses say "Go kill 'em all, Joshua!" Dammit, man, open your eyes!

I know exactly "why the chosen were told to do so" - a fictional massacre of the occupants of the land you took sounds kind of mean until you dress it up with a little moral authority. (A real massacre, like the US visited on the Indians, is even worse, despite the dressing up we used to give it.)

You left your sig about "filthiness" off....

Or you defend that in Joshua, Samuel, Judges, Genesis.......
