Mullah Huckabee

Oh, this is rich:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee, an ordained Southern Baptist minister, asks in an upcoming article, ''Don't Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?''

The article, to be published in Sunday's New York Times Magazine, says Huckabee asked the question after saying he believes Mormonism is a religion but doesn't know much about it. His rival Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, is a member of the Mormon church, which is known officially as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The authoritative Encyclopedia of Mormonism, published in 1992, does not refer to Jesus and Satan as brothers. It speaks of Jesus as the son of God and of Satan as a fallen angel, which is a Biblical account.

A spokeswoman for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said Huckabee's question is usually raised by those who wish to smear the Mormon faith rather than clarify doctrine.


The LDS lady is right.

Huckabee is slandering the Mormon Church about a totally false and stupid thing. He's incompetent AND dumb. So he's like totally qualified to succeed Bush!

Look, if you are going to question the Mormon faith, do it in the classic style of all religion, expose their doctrines to ridicule and logic. Works with any faith.

Joseph Smith, pretty much used his abilities as a flim-flam man to say Native Americans were a lost tribe of Israel and dyed red by God for beating the original "white" lost tribe of Israeli-Americans; he could read "magic lost golden plates" with seeing stones placed in a hat; and MOST IMPORTANTLY TO HIM he could shag as many women as he wanted because God told him he could.

IT'S ALL PERFECTLY LOGICAL, HISTORICALLY ACCURATE AND A GREAT WAY TO GET LAID, RIGHT?

And the next thing you know, you've got Osmonds.

It's much like Saul of Tarsus when he said he saw the "Jeebus" on the road to Damascus...and later magically divined that grown men don't have to have their weiner-sweaters lopped off to be members of a faith in good standing. A smooth political move if ever there was one. And, of course, just like Mohammad saw Gabriel, Joe Smith saw Moroni (I should say, as an American prophet, Joe Smith did leave the world in a uniquely American way [ask Ernest T. Bass, ESQ], he didn't ascend into heaven, he wasn't crucified...no, he left the mortal stage on the losing end of a shoot-out. Like Butch & Sundance, Bonnie & Clyde, Huey & Long).

The problem for Mormons is they had all their bizarre-ass religious miracles occur in the last couple centuries. You have to give them another millennium before their bullshit sounds respectable and such statements sound like blasphemy.
