I got banned from FR in 2007 for saying this.

(At the time they were supporting Romney, as the Anyone But McCain candidate)

It is official Mormon teaching that Jesus and Satan are brothers.

It is also LDS teaching such as Jesus is OUR brother - when the righteous are raised to salvation WE will all be Gods.

That factual information got me banned (vaporized) from FR.

If you think that Evangelical Theologians are not well aware of LDS teaching, and may have, and preach a conscientious objection towards voting for a Mormon ...

I believe you are mistaken.

1. Read "The Family" by Jeff Sharlet.

It shows how the born agains work. They play for power and keeps. From experience and observation, evangelicals and born agains are not "Christian" in any form. They live by the old testament.

4. Shrub's biggest trick, pander to Fundamentalists

and refer to the old testament to justify ,War and homophobic policies ,Jesus never justified war for Any reason and never condemned homosexualiy ,only warned about all lust.

[denem]

5. The official LDS response to Jesus and Satan are brothers is "We are all brothers".

I don't think RW Fundamentalists are going to like what they hear.

[orpupilofnature57]

12. Thats why I wouldn't throw pearls to swine.

[Permanut]

2. Good on ya! K&R just for being booted from FR for any reason!

I stand in awe of your accomplishment; I haven't been able to stand to be there long enough to get banned. I don't give a rip what religion anybody is as long as they don't, say, cram it down my throat, or run the country based on it. But to get banned from FR for any reason is akin to winning a gold medal at the olympics. Well, almost as cool.

[denem]

3. I never tried again.

It's the first time I've been banned for anywhere for citing established fact. After some research, I gave them LDS chapter and verse, then - boom.

[Jackpine Radical]

10. I got banned on my first post there years ago.

I just joined in order to post a major Bush snark I had just written; it stood for a few hours before it (& I) got nailed.

I wonder if a 1-post banning is a record there. Well, of course I suppose it is since you can't get banned after zero posts, but I wonder if anyone has tied me.

[denem]

13. A 1 post banning at FR. I salute you.

[DocMac]

6. Good to see you rejected the dark side! nt

Hey....got my thingys back. Thanks DU!!!

[denem]

7. I was a DU member at the time, making mischief. My stay was very brief.

I couldn't believe the were plumping for Romney.

[DocMac]

24. I've only been here 6 months.

But not even once in my life have I considered the Republican party.

In my opinion, the world can't handle such things.

I fear more people are about to come to terms with it.

The one thing that is certain is suffering. Expect it.

[ellisonz]

26. Welcome to DU!

or

[DocMac]

27. Thank you.

[Sheepshank]

8. Maybe they need to be reminded? n/t

[denem]

14. I volunteer you to do it,

and see if it's still a hanging offense.

[Quantess]

9. But I don't understand why it got you banned.

Was it only that, or was your mask slipping otherwise?

[denem]

11. Just that. The post was considered anti-Romney

and that was apparently enough.

(Maybe they looked up my other 'contributions' and decided I was bringing in too many other unwelcome facts.)

[Quantess]

16. Weird. But a real republican could conceivably be anti-Romney when an election is near, right?

Sort of like the Hillary Clinton / Obama infighting here.

I bet you stuck out like a sore thumb because you provided links, facts, sources. I think the FReeper way is to go with your gut and trust your instincts for "facts", but you didn't, and that made you seem suspicious.
(I'm totally weaving this theory out of whole cloth, but it's a good a guess as any) (Oh the irony, right now I am going with my gut instinct... but I also use links, am well read, etc)

[denem]

17. I think you have something there.

I didn't post much in the way of hatred. I though that might blow my cover. Silly me.

[ErikJ]

15. Try Fox Nation-Impossible to get banned

I have posted hundreds of posts along with a few other Lefties and never been banned. They use Disqus forum system. I've had plenty of deletions of posts though -probably 5%.

[muriel_volestrangler]

18. I never knew they had a period of being Romney supporters

Given their current hatred of him, it seemed unlikely. And yet, I can indeed find a thread from 2007 where he's pretty popular - and Jim Robinson started the thread, so it was all OK with him: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1830551/posts

I wonder if FR will manage the U-turn they did to support Bush in 2000, and then McCain in 2008 (McCain had been trashed for months on FR, until Palin appears, Jim Robinson said he'd "pull his lever for her", and suddenly McCain was a True Conservative again). The anti-Romney vitriol is such that it seems impossible, though.

[alwegd]

19. Oh they will...

Intellectual consistency doesn't matter there because the teahadists despise intellect so much. Shortly after the debt debacle, I visited FR for the first time and it was the initial catalyst for what has happened since. I will never forget the way my eyes were suddenly opened that evening. I now have tremendous shame and personal guilt about the fact that I once cast my lot with those people in the Republican party. Tremendous shame.

[NYC Liberal]

20. Go back to 1999 and you'll find they hated Bush too,

They were supporting Alan Keyes, Buchanan, the usual nut jobs.

[Major Hogwash]

21. You have to give credit to the owner of that forum though.

He found a way to recycle white trash.

[totodeinhere]

22. These Mormon beliefs are no more crazy than what any fundamentalist religion believes. n/t

[DocMac]

25. Why?

They aren't running about with poisonous snakes and chanting in some kinda tongues. Are they?

[provis99]

23. quote the wrong facts and you'll get banned from DU, too.
