Angle In Flap As Pastor Calls Reid's Mormon Religion A Murderous Cult

[Joanne98]

Holy Jeremiah Wright, Batman! In the Nevada Senate race, Republican nominee Sharron Angle is now having to put some distance between herself and her own former pastor, John Reed of Sonrise Church in Reno, after Reed attacked Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's Mormon religion.

In an interview with the Reno News & Review, Pastor Reed attacked Harry Reid, making some rather inflammatory comments regarding the Latter-Day Saints Church being a "cult" -- and alleging conspiracies involving big business and secret murders:

"The Christian community--all the Christians, theologians and scholars, all recognize that, that Mormonism is a cult. I have books in my library on cults, and it lists Mormonism right there with all these bizarre cults. Well, there must be a reason. I mean, here a member of a cult is one of the most powerful people in the United States. Doesn't that alarm you? And his allegiance is to Salt Lake City.

...

You know, there's some weirdness with that, but nobody questions it, nobody asks one question to Harry Reid and says, 'Tell us about your faith. What does a Mormon believe?' Ask him about the holy garments that he wears that protect him from evil. Isn't that kooky? Ask him about getting his body parts anointed by oil. Isn't that kooky? Ask him about when he goes to the temple and he gets baptized for dead people. Isn't that kooky? Ask him about the hit squad of the Mormon church and why they need people to kill Mormons that go against them."

1. It makes one wonder...

if he would say these things about Beck and Romney too?

That said, I agree 100% with the adjective "kooky"

2. ... and Nevada is full of Mormons...

This should work out well.

3. I am a Catholic altho I do not practice I am upset at all

this so called Christian crap. BUT when you receive communion the priest anoints your forehead with oil. The priest draws the cross on your forehead in ashes on Ash Wednesday. And in all religions they sprinkle water or dunk you completely to baptize you. So tell me what religion does not use 'RELIGIOUS oil, water or fetishes?

4. I'm waiting for the librul media to attack Angle for her pastor's remarks

the way they did Obama for Rev. Wright's past comments.

NOT!!!

5. Will Head Wreck Beck speak out against this?

After all, Angle's pastor is slamming his adopted religion, yunno. I expect crickets on that front.
