You stay classy Republicans
Somebody's cult is bigger than someone else's cult
Today at the Values Voters Summit, presidential contender and Texas Gov. Rick Perry was introduced to the crowd by one of his most prominent supporters, Robert Jeffress, senior pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dallas. Jeffress is well-known for his bigoted views about gays, Muslims, and Mormons. During his introduction for Perry, he called Planned Parenthood “that slaughterhouse for the unborn.”
Speaking to reporters after Perry’s speech, Jeffress reiterated his well-known view that “Mormonism is a cult”

Gotta love it when the GOP form the circular firing squad... standard tactic from the D's playbook...
Jimmiraybob's corollary to Attaturk's theory of theology -- Religion + time = still a cult.
it's the government's stamp of approval and tax exempt status that's the deciding factor in the official cult vs religion game....
as for me, I don't give a fig what someone wants to believe, just as long as they're not trying to shove it down my throat and they keep it out of public policy -- which is why all these God Botherers setting public policy today should be drummed out of office for violating the Constitution and not respecting the separation of church & state or others basic rights of freedom of and from religion.
protestants have trouble with catholics.
You have it exactly, attaturk. Organized religion is just a well-aged cult.
Even as a 4-yr-old, I asked mom why all the miracles happened only in the olden days.
Mormonism's stupid claims are absolutely hilarious - even mormons are embarrassed with themselves and ashamed to go into details (who wouldn't be?) But their beliefs are really no more stupid than christianity's own prized myths; people just somehow believe 645BC absurdities could have happened more readily than they could in 1860.
Christians are uncomfortable thinking about mormons because it inevitably brings them around to this train of thought. "La la la la I can't Hear You".
