No more so then say baptists... and i mean honestly... you could only wish that most religious groups did as much good as the mormon church.
They do a LOT of good, are one of the more active charitable christian groups out there... and seem honestly to generally be a lot more positive and generally nice then people on average.
So even if they were a cult, good for them. We'd probably be better off if there were more Mormons out there. |
I wouldn't exactly say that the Mountain Meadows Massacre was a good thing ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Meadows_massacre ), and I'm not sure if there's anything analogous to it in Baptist history.

Well... the inquistion. Since they branched off from catholics after that.
I mean... seriously... 1857?
|
I wouldn't be particularly thrilled with the prospect of a Fundamentalist Catholic like Santorum or a Fundamentalist Evangelical like Perry or Bachmann being President either.

Don't think you have a choice, what considering Obama is the most outwardly religious president since Jimmy Carter.
|
Bush was far more religious than Obama lest we forget he thought he had some calling from a god that doesn't exist to save the world from Islam, he tried to curtail research into stem cells, and he was elected his to second term because he wanted to deny gays their civil rights.
|
Your not argueing religion here. Your argueing things done because of interpretation of ones religion. Obama is even more guided by religion, he just has a different interpretation. "Obamacare" was very much driven by HIS christian convictions.
Bush talked about God every once in a while sure.
Obama's words however are cluttered with religious phrases, terms and ideas... he actually refrences the bible FAR more then Bush ever did.
It's the differnece between somebody who thinks Monty Python is funny and will recall things he likes and someone who refrences it all the time and uses words because he memorized them from their acts.

Funny that you think Obama's heavilly influenced by Christianity because most of his detractors think he's a Muslim.
