    Question, If you found yourself living in a small town in Utah where the majority of people were muslim, and there were two muslims running for county recorder...would you...
    a. Not vote?
    b. Not vote, and consider any Christian who did vote for either candidate to be in sin, even though the county needs a recorder to keep records?
    c. Vote for whichever one of them you thought would do the best job, because the county needs a recorder?

    By not voting for either candidate, are you not yourself allowing one of their platforms to enlarge...by default, as it were?

    I'm not leveling anything. I'm flat out telling you that you're lying and you know that you're lying. You have said time and time again "he's in the tank for Obama" because that's what YOU want to believe since I'm not a Romney fan. So save all the show me stuff. You know how to read and if you weren't so quick to see my name and always try to belittle everything that is said, maybe you would have gleaned from me saying I'm not voting for either, that you're spreading lies.


    And I have not begrudged you or anyone else for choosing to vote. I'm voting too. But you and many others act as though if someone is not supporting someone who I believe expands the platform for the spread of Mormonism, then something is wrong with them.


    And you know full well that I have not told anyone to abstain from voting. I've said that I applaud those who choose to not vote and I understand why. But that I would be writing someone in.

    I'm a single God voter. If you're against Him, you're not getting my vote.

    Understand me when I say that I don't care about a viable candidate at this point. We had the opportunity to choose someone who was Christ honoring. We did not and now one of the two major non-Christ honoring candidates will win.

    I don't support that which is against Christ just because this world system thinks it has forced me to have to choose between two men who are against Christ. It simply will not happen.

    Either way an anti-Christ will have a world stage. But it won't be from my support. I have to continue to stand for Christ no matter who this world system puts up to be elected. But for me personally, I would have a difficult time saying I'm standing for Christ while supporting an anti-Christ.

    God has given me a platform upon which to influence others for Him and I will not give up what He has given me in order to see the Republican candidate of choice get elected and spread that wicked religion.



    It's not going to get better. Again, read Scripture. It gets worse because WE, GOD's people, keep making decisions that are not in support of HIM. we're presenting Mormonism with a worldwide platform to influence folks into hell.


    I'm good right here.:laugh:




    And I believe it to be irresponsible for a Christian to vote for someone who is against Christ and whose faith gets a larger platform to trip folks into hell. Were you supporting him 6 months ago?


    And that implies again, here's more innuendo for you to overlook Lady Eagle, that those who don't vote as you think they should are unwise.

    I'd recognize that evil abounds and write in someone who was not against Christ. Evil abounds because Christians or at least the folks who say they are Christians forget Who their first love is supposed to be and start compromising over everything.


    One of their platforms is going to enlarge regardless. My primary concern is my witness for Christ. And in that witness, I will not be guilty before Him in supporting that which is against Him while saying that I am for Him.

    The country is where it is morally because of these type of WRONG decisions by CHRISTIANS, not by the lost.

    But we're giving the false teachings of Mormonism a larger worldwide platform. False teaching that is sending folks to hell. So in my little corner of the world it makes no sense to me to say that I want to keep more of my money to give to the Lord's work to help win more souls to Christ, while at the same time giving a platform to that which trips men into hell.

    I asked, " Name me one truly viable candidate who has any chance whatsoever of getting more than ten percent of the popular vote."

    Zaac, you replied, " Understand me when I say that I don't care about a viable candidate at this point. We had the opportunity to choose someone who was Christ honoring. We did not and now one of the two major non-Christ honoring candidates will win."

    You have suggested in the past voting for write-in candidates. After being asked, you offer no names. Why is that?

    If you'd rather choose what you consider to be the perfect at the expense of the better, then you will have no moral right on November 5th to complain if Barak Obama is reelected.

    Only the mods of this forum or an administrator can move this thread.

    We are used to the hyperbole and pontification by now, but...

    Better question: How long do you think Zaac will last on the BB making personal attacks against other members and calling them liars before he gets banned?

    If you want that question answered, please start another thread in the Politics forum. This one is about Mormonism and the platform it gets for spreading .

    And as I've said, I'm used to you pointing out my "personal attacks" while ignoring those from the folks whose politics you agree with. And when people tell lies, they should be called liars.

    And if you and anyone else does not want to be called a liar, then stop saying again and again from thread to thread that I'm in the tank for Obama or that I'm an Obama plant when I have PLAINLY said otherwise.

    The hypocrisy is showing again so take it back to your politics forum.

    For a lie to be told, there must be knowledge of the truth. I believe, based on your one-sided anti-Romney position, that you are pro-Obama. I may be mistaken, but I see no evidence to contradict my assertion.

    I have not lied. You need a better rebuttal.

    And you have been given that knowledge repeatedly.

    So you get to keep telling lies just because of what YOU believe, and another forum moderator gets to bring up me not lasting and getting banned for calling folks liars because of what yall believe even though I have said otherwise?

    RI-DARN-DICULOUS. All because of an election.


    Ain't no "may be mistaken". You KNOW you're mistaken as I have said as much to you and others what my position is on BOTH candidates. You and others just seem to think that much like Barack Obama, if you say the same lie again and again and again, folks are gonna believe it. And for someone yall think is so bad, the lot of you surely do act a lot like him when you want.

    You have lied and continue to do so. But I guess your BELIEF in your mind exempts you from having to call your lie a lie.

    Grow up, Zaac. Show some grace. I have admitted the possibility that I may be mistaken, though I think not because of your postings. Your growling reinforces my opinion that I might be spot-on after all.

    Arbo, you know that I think you have a solid postion on this election. We all understand the dilemma of supporting Romney and the contradictions it produces. I feel the same way. Certainly you have never lied. Maybe Zaac is trying to convey he dislikes Obama and Romney to the same degree.

    Thanks for that. Admittedly, I find the accusation of liar as one of the more offensive labels that is flippantly tossed about without regard for the implications to one's character.

    Perhaps you are right about Zaac.

    The role of peacemaker suits you.
