@realcaseyrollins it's sad that it's surprising that Christians are expressing Christian values. But I've really liked Mitt Romney a lot more recently. If he didn't run as far right as he did, he might've won in 2012.

@mewmew @realcaseyrollins It really isn't. Mormonism is wildly different in its beliefs about almost everything.

Like God lives on a planet, Kolob or something. Magic Underwear. Just all sorts of crazy cult stuff. It's pretty toothless though, but had a lot of really crazy racist stuff in it that's kinda pushed to the side these days.

@shebang @mewmew Yeah it's some -level sci-fi stuff compared to the Bible. Better described as a spinoff or a derivative, not a denomination.

@shebang @realcaseyrollins eh. A weird group, sure, but it is Christian. Just like all Christianity is a form of Judaism.

@mewmew @shebang Mmm I'd seek out some theological sources for that claim before posting it...I'm a myself, literally none of us think that are .

Heck, less than half of us think that are saved lol

@shebang @mewmew @realcaseyrollins yeah they believed that black people were the offspring of Ham and therefore cursed to wander the earth and never enter the realm of heaven. They backtracked on that recently though.

They also posthumously baptized all the known holocaust victims as Mormons, including Anne Frank, and the Jews did not care for that. They promised to stop but were caught a few times doing it anyways afterwards. They also posthumously baptized Helen Keller and other famous figures they deem "worthy".

Picture this: you're in Heaven, with all the angels and God and shit, harp music in the air, then all of a sudden a portal opens and you're sucked in. Now you're on a planet, and a man surrounded by bashful women approaches you. "Hi, I'm Elder Wilson, and i'm the God of this world. You've been baptized as a Mormon but because you weren't an Elder, you're assigned to my planet to serve me and my wives. Lucky you, it must have been Hell on the other side lol"
@mewmew @realcaseyrollins I dunno ... this is getting super weird. It doesn't feel right. People are choosing sides in an ideological war. BLM is a religious ideology of sorts. I only hope America adopts the banner and dilutes the ideology instead of creating a new religion out of it

@mewmew But yeah I'm not surprised. He does whatever he thinks will make him popular. He has no principles.

The doesn't trust him, neither should the party.

@realcaseyrollins eh. He was stuck in a hard place in 2012. And he's voted his values against the GOP's wishes, sometimes.

@mewmew What values?

Believe me, will take another turn to the right once the wind starts blowing in that direction.

@realcaseyrollins his values.

I doubt it honestly. He made a mistake and he knows it.

@mewmew IDK man I don't know of a single stance of his that he's stayed strong on for four years at least, if not eight.

@mewmew @realcaseyrollins Newt Gingrich exposed Mitt Romney for the corporate jackal he really is. If Mitt Romney had won, he'd have finished selling the US to China and retired to the Bahamas to sleep on a mattress stuffed with cash by now, while the last remnants of middle class America starved to death. Any time you start getting fooled into thinking Mitt Romney is an ok guy just watch this short film again:
