I fear that we have become so sensitive to the bullying by some, and even the persecution of, minority religious groups in this country that we have stopped being critical of said religious groups when required.

That is why my last Page was: Video: Mitt Romney and the Mormons

Because it is done by a non-American from a more secular nation than ours I think it hits harder in some areas than what US based secular TV networks would do.

Yes, fundamentalist Christians rail against Mormonism all the time. Is that due to envy over the latter’s success? Mormonism is growing faster (percent per year) than fundamentalist Christianity, at least in this country and some others.

Anyway, I’m not going to pull back my criticism of what I consider a backwards, and yes at times overly cultic, group.

And I’m not going to stop criticizing religious bigotry, especially when said bigotry conveniently privileges more mainstream groups.

You want to criticize specific things the Romneys, or the LDS church have done? Have at it. Complaining that they use IVF, have big families, and ‘want to take over the earth’, not to mention believing that they remain married in the next world, is not reasonable, it’s the same kind of fear-mongering that accompanied Jack Kennedy’s presidential run.
