I'll tone it down when Harold Bloom starts posting here. Until then, he remains a stupid cunt when he's talking about anything other than Western lit.
If repeatedly slurring (in a remarkably stupid and fact free way, I might add) the religion of someone who is posting in the very same thread isn't bannable, I don't see how anything I've said here can be considered even close to the line.

Funny thing is that when Mormons show up to your house they don't tend to start to tell you about the fact that according to their theology that God lives on planet Kolob, that even though they told the United States government that they had stopped sanctioning polygamous marriages in 1890 that they were still carrying them out with the full approval of their prophet at the time until as late as 1910 and possibly longer since the #1 researcher into the matter was fired from his position at BYU in the 1990s for being concerned with actual history rather than faith promoting history ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormonism_and_history ) no one knows how long they continued them.
They've certainly been secretive about the Mountain Meadows Massacre of September 11, 1857 when they murdererd 120+ men, women, and children in cold blood and about Bringham Young's involvement in the matter ( http://www.amazon.com/Blood-Prophets-Brigham-Massacre-Mountain/dp/0806136391/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1355362122&sr=8-1&keywords=blood+of+the+prophets ).
Nor are they very forthcoming about their White Horse Prophecy which calls for the establishment of a Mormon Theocracy on the American continent after a time of violent upheaval which is discussed at length in Richard Abanes' book "One Nation Under Gods" wherein he also lays out point by point that by all established academic criteria Mormonism is a secretive and dangerous cult ( http://www.amazon.com/One-Nation-Under-Gods-History/dp/1568582838/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1355362310&sr=1-1&keywords=one+nation+under+gods ).
Harold Bloom's highly regarded book "The American Religion" contains a stringent and accurate critique of the Mormonism ( http://www.amazon.com/American-Religion-Emergence-Post-Christian-Nation/dp/0671867377/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1355362470&sr=1-2&keywords=the+american+religion ).
