Bigotry abounds as Mitt Romney takes limelight
First there was the bigoted comment from Al Sharpton.
Now convicted-criminal-turned-minister Bill Keller spews bigotry about Mitt Romney and the LDS Church:
Those who follow the false teachings of this cult, believe in the false jesus of the Mormon cult and reject faith in the one true Jesus of the Bible, will die and spend eternity in hell,” he charges. “Romney getting elected president will ultimately lead millions of souls to the eternal flames of hell!
And:
Romney is an unashamed and proud member of the Mormon cult founded by a murdering polygamist pedophile named Joseph Smith nearly 200 years ago. The teachings of the Mormon cult are doctrinally and theologically in complete opposition to the Absolute Truth of God’s Word. There is no common ground. If Mormonism is true, then the Christian faith is a complete lie. There has never been any question from the moment Smith’s cult began that it was a work of Satan and those who follow their false teachings will die and spend eternity in hell.
Such unbridled extremism will look foolish to all but the most naive or ignorant people. I almost hesitate to give this air time, but I think the larger issue is that the mainstream media tends not to consider bigotry against Mormons as condemnable as bigotry against other minorities.
The Church had no comment. Romney’s campaign commented, “I guess what I can tell you is it shows that bigotry can still rear its ugly head in society.”
(By the way, Bill Keller was convicted of inside trading in 1989 and served two years in prison, then became a minister.)
Of course, this is further fulfillment of Moroni’s prophecy that Joseph Smith’s name would be “had for good and evil among all nations, kindreds, and tongues, or that it should be both good and evil spoken of among all people.” Even while critics defame, millions revere Joseph Smith as a prophet of the Lord Jesus Christ.
