Reid v Romney: When Mormons Attack Each Other

[stopbush]

Why is the media silent on the fact that these guys are both Mormons? It is one of the few things they have in common with each other.

1. Is it relevent?

[jberryhill]

2. I dunno, is it?

[demosincebirth]

8. It wasn't a rhetorical question.

13. Neither was mine

I don't know of any religious group which has exclusive secret goings-on. At least I can't think of one off-hand. I mean, okay, when the Catholic cardinals elect a new pope, that is done in a closed session, but in general, I can't off the top of my head think of a religious group which includes a vow of secrecy about things in the ordinary course of business.

3. They seem to always point out when one of Obama's opponents is black.

So, why not?

10. wouldn't it be quite obvious?

9. I heard speculation that Reid's friends with the guy

who does the tithing paperwork.

[FreeState]

11. It's a department, not a guy

That and there is very little chance anyone there would look up what he paid in tithing - what would thy compair it to to tell if he paid a full tithe anyway? The church does not have his taxes.

4. Why does Reid seem so normal when Romney seems so weird?

I've known a fair number of Mormoms. All of which were normal, not to mention honest.

Romney is weird and clearly a crook.

5. +1

I agree w/ every thing you said .

[Drunken Irishman]

6. Because Romney grew up in a bubble...

[Rosa Luxemburg]

14. The Mormons who I know aren't weird

Romney is weird

7. Catholics attack Catholics, protestants attack protestants in politics. Why should it be

so exceptional that one Mormon attacks another?

[braddy]

12. They aren't average Mormons, both are part of about a 15% of the most devoted and devout.

Reid and Bishop Romney are both Temple Mormons, they both are verified to give 10% of their income to Mormonism among other things, and they are checked out every two years for that purity and devotion to the Prophet and the inner church.

Those beautiful temples you see exclude the roughly 85% of the rank and file Mormons, only the elites (Temple Mormons) are allowed inside those palaces.

This would be an interesting story indeed. One Mormon, head of the Senate, the other running for president, and both owing total secrecy and loyalty to the unknown internal Mormon religion. I think the Mormon aspect would be dead on arrival unless a media source wanted to go into something that they probably don't want to get into.

Remember that both of these men will become Gods in the future (after death) and given a planet of worshipers to rule over and have many wives, that is one reason that they baptize us all after death.

I don't think the media wants to get to deep into this mess.
