'Mormonism a cult' according to Perry supporter

The Republican presidential candidates were forced to clarify their views on Mormonism after Robert Jeffress - a Dallas pastor and Rick Perry supporter - called it a cult.

They should be more concerned about $cientology

I love how America is the epitome of freedom of religion.

This is nothing how about we see a candidate with the guts to come out and say they are an atheist or an agnostic that would be a real headline.

@EscapeNewJersey How is that proof of anything? You're just quoting some ancient text proven by archaeology to have been hand-copied, embellished upon, and mistranslated over thousands of years by countless individuals. Besides, there are dozens of virtually identical myths spanning ancient history. Just because a guy wrote something down 2k years ago doesn't make it true. Where is the proof? Do you believe the Earth is flat? People wrote that down a lot too -same ones who believe that old text.

@EscapeNewJersey Which Jesus Christ? Just because Mormons use the name Jesus and the title Christ does not mean that they serve the same Jesus as Christianity. In fact, it is well documented that their view of Jesus and the Christian view of Jesus are totally different. Jesus Christ may well be the cornerstone of their church but it is a different Jesus.
