In reply to the discussion: We Should Lay off Using Romney's Mormon Beliefs as a Criticism [View all]AnotherMcIntosh
(11,064 posts)we're-superior-to-Blacks attitudes as a carryover from their Book of Mormon teaching, I'll criticize them whenever I want.
Although I too am an atheist, I'm a descendant of Quakers who were actively involved in the underground railroad. Some of my other ancestors fought in the Civil War while having strong convictions about the immorality of slavery. I have carried on certain family traditions, including being involved with Civil Rights activities.
Although Mormons purportedly had recent conversion away from their we're-superior-to-Blacks philosophy and teachings, I'm not buying it.
Give Rmoney a pass? No thank you. If he or his followers happen to be hypersensitive with respect to some of their shared beliefs, including wearing magic underwear, that's too bad.
In other aspects of your post, however, I agree with you.
