Is Christianity really more rational then Mormonism?

Both religions tell you that you survive being eaten by a whale for weeks, and that the earth was civered in water during a flood that didn't happen.

Not to mention people returning from the dead, and countless other visions and crap.

Yeah, the Mormon religion is nuts, but so is Christianity by the same ruler.

My problem with the Mormon church is that when you sin, they can ban you from church which isn't Christian in my upbringing at all.

Is everyone now clear on why we have to keep Government free of religion and religion free of government? Combining them corrupts both to the detriment of all.

The great star Kolob or whatever. Give me a break.

Mormonism started out by practicing COMMUNISM! Seriously. Total communists, the early mormons, until it fell apart the way communism pretty much always does. So maybe once Romney is done adding "In Gods we trust" to the money, he should be asked why he belongs to a communist church? Mormons still technically believe, by the way, that the full-blown totally communist Law of Consecration is a desirable end goal and what we'll do once Christ comes back - we're just not "ready" for it is all. Milk before the meat and all that...

Funny, that, isn't it - Republicans running a candidate who belongs to a communist church. Worthy of a chortle.

And speaking of money, our current money already has masonic imagery - perhaps ironically, Mr. Joseph Smith copied tons of masonic imagery and incorporated it into his temple imagery, so with just a little bit of glue and tape, we can mormonify our money once Romney is president, too! Good fun.
The idea is not a new one ... and the Vatican didn't get to be the wealthiest organized religious entity on earth by selling rosary beads in gift shops.

In fact ... isn't this the exact same thing as what Obama constantly preaches? And what every other democrat political hack before him also preached? We need to tax you, so that we can then give it back to those we deem needy? The one constant theme there is that once you give it to them, they keep most of it for themselves and give a little bit back just to make it look like they're not crooks.

The only difference between the Mormons and the Government we have today is that the Mormons don't send SWATT teams to your house if you choose not to "volunteer" to pay them your "percentage".

Ok well first off Mormons don't hate America like Muslims do. Obama hates American and wants us to crash and burn and become poor. He's totally killing our economy and is loving it. I don't care much for Romney but at least he's not a Communist and socialist and he loves America! Obama promised to lower taxes and he's done nothing but add more (heath care) and he took away our American freedom by forcing Americans to get health insurance or pay a tax. So much for land of the free. I'm fed up with the stupidity of people in this country just looking at his skin color and thinking "oh what progress we've made by electing a black president and just look at all he's accomplished!" I don't care if he's white or black... the only thing this dictator has accomplished is stealing my hard earned money and giving it to those who sit on their butts all day. Stop yapping about the stupid issues and look at the big picture and actually do your research and see who and what Obama really is. If you have any ounce of American Freedom left in you... don't be fooled by Obama and his lies!

Your title is idiotic. You made a false, sweeping generalization and went from there.
