Evangelical 'leader': A vote for romney is a vote for....SATAN!

Evangelical Leader: "Vote for Romney is Vote for Satan"
Yikes. Take a look at what an evangelical leader is saying about Mormon presidential candidate Mitt Romney. His name is Bill Keller, host of the Florida-based Live Prayer TV, and he writes in his daily devotional (which reaches 2.4 million people):

"If you vote for Mitt Romney, you are voting for Satan! ... 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."

I particularly like this crazy paranoid line, which betrays a deep insecurity:

"Romney getting elected president will ultimately lead millions of souls to the eternal flames of hell!"

1. And they said separation of church and state was a good idea
Edited on Sat May-12-07 06:21 AM by youngdem
Silly founding fathers. This is much better. I so enjoy having raving lunatics talking about whose invisible friend is the coolest and sending each other to the river Styx instead of cogently debating the issues directly affecting our lives.

:sarcasm:

HELP ME JEBUS!

Ugh, do I ever LOATHE organized religion. It is society's appendix, and one day, it's gonna kill us all.

37. What!! Are you saying the invisible magical hovering deity's concern about the
white undies you wear into your Temple isn't an important issue of our day?

2. "murdering polygamist pedophile named Joseph Smith"
The preacher must've watched the recent PBS special on Mormons.
He left out plagiarist.

12. I like the word "Spunds"
looks like a derivative of the word (political) "Spin" and describes what so many do to the content of their holy book.

4. I hear Satan is very tough on criminals, though
he could get a lot of Republican support for that. Then again, his policy of trying to gather all human souls to his infernal kingdom could annoy the anti-immigration lobby a bit ...

:evilgrin: (actual candidate photo!)

5. repubs might not want to mention hell too much.
Before I even go to hell I'd like them to get that illegal immigrant issue taken care of, I DAMNED sure don't want to spend eternity with illegals.

11. Oh, Those Poor Evangelicals
Didn't some Republican once say that if Hillary was the Democratic nominee she'd energize the "Religious Right" (to come out and vote against her) more than Satan?

:evilgrin:

So, gosh, what would those poor evangelicals do if the 2008 Presidential election comes down to Hillary Clinton vs. Mitt Romney?

:rofl:

15. the ultimate scare tactic
SATAN!

you know satans worse than any terrorist.....



Also, someone many years ago, pointed out to me, that if you look at what evangelicals talk about the most, it's mostly about Satan. And by constantly referring to Satan, in some ways makes them Satan Worshipers. Take the whole concept of Satan out of their teachings, and what do they have?

16. It's not insecurity.....
This type of theological trip existe to stir controversy to drive up membership sell more books and raise more money.


It alway sad when purported evangelicals rely on hokum like this rathe than the power of God.

This guy is not insecure at all... he is however insincere.

18. I've seen his tv show. It's broadcast at 1 a.m. weekdays in the Tampa area.
He's creepy.

On his website there's an abortion video and if you stop the video as it's loading the message at the bottom states "aborting...please wait". :rofl:

He has a live call in show and people used to goof on him all the time.He would look at the camera and implore Satan to stop wasting his air time.

19. ALMOST worth electing Romney just to watch heads explode!
Because you just KNOW there are millions of crazy xtians out there who echo this motherfucker's sentiments. This country does not need another repuke president though. Electing him would be like electing Satan, but not because he's a mormon...because he's a repuke.

27. Like it or not, many fundamentalists and evangelicals consider Mormonism to be a cult.
If Romney is the Republican candidate he will fail to get possibly millions of votes from the religious right because he is a Mormon. This pretty much assures a Democratic win.

28. Well well well. Let's see if the Mitten squawks bigotry at this. At least Keller
did not call him a mormon like Sharpton did. The attack dogs would have been all over him.
