‘Don’t Mormons believe Jesus and the devil are brothers?’
By on Dec 12th, 2007 at 12:10 pm
‘Don’t Mormons believe Jesus and the devil are brothers?’
asked Mike Huckabee, “who describes himself as the only Republican candidate with a degree in theology.” On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Mitt Romney responded this way: “That’s been an old attack that’s been leveled years ago. And, you know, I was sad to see it come out again, but I’m glad the church clarified that one more time. … Attacking someone’s faith, that’s simply un-American.” Because Romney would never act in such a manner.

Not only are they brothers, they’re on the same shuffleboard team!
December 12th, 2007 at 12:13 pmActually, yes, they do.

December 12th, 2007 at 12:16 pmI’m so very sick of these religious fanatics forcing their stupid god down my throat!!!
Geroge W. Bush and every single one of the Repukeian candidates are Satan’s brothers. Exorcise them all.
December 12th, 2007 at 12:17 pmits fun watching these thugs eat each other!!
December 12th, 2007 at 12:18 pmGeez, that’s like asking whether Christianity is based upon ritual cannibalism??
oh….wait……
December 12th, 2007 at 12:19 pmthis thread should be a wacko magnet, too.
wow — Jesus, the ACLU, and Dubbie’s-a-big-fat-liar…
now all we need is another Gore thread, and we’d have a troll-fecta of topics for the day.
December 12th, 2007 at 12:21 pmI confess a limited knowledge of such matters, but from what I recall, Satan was “a fallen Angel” and not a “son of God” as Jesus is said to be, so not, Jesus and The Devil are not “brothers”, and “theologian” Mike may need to go back to school.
Very reminiscent of Christians that blame “the Jews” for “killing Jesus” (it was the Romans).
December 12th, 2007 at 12:22 pmre 5
well given that they also drink the blood of their savior in order to attain imortality, aren’t christians really VAMPIRES?
December 12th, 2007 at 12:22 pmHuckabee, Romney, Guliani – the’re all various shades of the same neo-con cyborg. This ridiculous nonsense about who’s more holier than the other. They’re all hypocrites. Huckabee acts as though he’s more righteous than the other candidates. It’s just another religious scam he learned from Bush. The moral majority or evangelical base has been fractured so now it’s the flavor the month in the republican camp. Three Newsweek covers in a row – Guliani, Romney, Huckabee. Who’s next?
December 12th, 2007 at 12:23 pmDrywall,

and it’s shameful to use your religious beliefs to harm other people.
December 12th, 2007 at 12:27 pmSpeaking of Romney, I know he fired the landscapers who hired illegals.
December 12th, 2007 at 12:27 pmBut do we know if he reported them to INS? To DHS? Anyone? I mean, if illegals are so bad, he certainly should, right? Or is it ok for other people to have illegal aliens mowing their lawns, just not for him?
I’d like to ask all of these politicians using Christianity to advance their political ambitions: Where in the Scripture does it say that Jesus is the way…to the White House?
December 12th, 2007 at 12:28 pmand it’s shameful to use your religious beliefs to harm other people.
Comment by Bobwurst
You’re absolutely right. Christianity itself can be great. But too often people manipulate it and corrupt it.
December 12th, 2007 at 12:29 pmDaryll,
You might want to go back and look at how the devil tried to tempt Jesus. It sounded like a Republican campaign platform.
December 12th, 2007 at 12:32 pmNow that is just cute – ol’Daryll, bless him, actually thinks a man can be elected president even if not a single woman votes for him.
December 12th, 2007 at 12:33 pmDaryll,
And Jesus was President of the United States??? I missed that in my U.S. history book and in my Bible.

Comment by Wilco — December 12, 2007 @ 12:24 pm
Good point, Wilco. What’s weird is that, when it comes to the Bible, the roles are somewhat reversed. Catholics see it as the allegorical word of God, by turns symbolic, literal and prophetic, while most other Christians see it as the literal Word of God.

Must be very picky.

December 12th, 2007 at 12:35 pmIt’s been a long time since Sunday School
Your comment about President Bush and other candidates is horrible. President Bush and the other candidates do not support abortion nor homosexuality. But your party does. Who is really influenced by the devil?
Comment by Daryll — December 12, 2007 @ 12:28 pm
if you really had a god, daryll, it would not allow these homosexuals and abortions. the existence of both proves the nonexistence of god.
December 12th, 2007 at 12:35 pmyeah, I know…the methodist church where i was baptized used welch’s grape juice instead of wine.

Why do methodists hate yeast?

December 12th, 2007 at 12:36 pmDaryll, does God condone water boarding?
December 12th, 2007 at 12:36 pmWhat a distasteful comment.
Comment by Daryll — December 12, 2007 @ 12:35 pm
And your judgments of the Democratic party are tasteful little morsels, I suppose. Of course, you never responded to the content of my distasteful comment. Maybe because it hit too close to the nerve?
December 12th, 2007 at 12:37 pmI disagree with the posters who claim that religion should not be part of politics, I think it is an important test of the way a person views the world. Are they rational and have a reality based view, or do they claim that some mythical entity talks to them and tells them what to do? Is the earth 6,000 years old or 4.5 billion? There is a difference you know.
The simpleton pResident we are stuck with for another year should be a warning of the dangers of letting superstitious cave dwellers run the country.
A vote for Huckabee is a vote for Daryll. That should scare the hell out of anyone.
December 12th, 2007 at 12:38 pmJesus works through President Bush, so yes, in a way, Jesus is ruling our nation.
Comment by Daryll — December 12, 2007 @ 12:36 pm
what a distasteful, not to mention ignorant and unAmerican, comment.
December 12th, 2007 at 12:38 pmI read the reply by someone from the LDS about the Jesus and Stan being brothers remark. Her answer was that Satan is the opposite of everything Jesus stands for.
Having said that:
Satan would torture, Jesus wouldn’t. Romney endorses torture.
Satan would partake in and profit from war, Jesus wouldn’t. Romney’s campaign is being advised by a Blackwater executive, founder even, and we all know Blackwater is a private, for profit mercenary army.
Those are but a few glaring examples of how Romney. and most other professed “Christians”, in fact act; the exact opposite manner in which Jesus lived and wants us as humans to live.
There is no explanation (following the LDS’ and most evangelical Christians’ logic) for this behavior other than to say that Romney and the like are agents of Satan.
December 12th, 2007 at 12:39 pmThanks, Wilco.

December 12th, 2007 at 12:40 pmso using the logic of Daryll, Jesus condones waterboarding, warrantless wiretapping, circumvention of existing laws, disregard for the injured troops and a VP that swears in public.
That’s not the Jesus I know.
December 12th, 2007 at 12:40 pmFactual comment? The basis for the vast majority of your arguments Daryll are based on faith. Faith is not founded on facts but on beliefs.
December 12th, 2007 at 12:42 pmJesus was considered a ‘terrrorist’ by the Romans. They used ‘enhanced interrogation techniques’ too.
Jesus would vomit on all of these phonies using his name to torture and kill others.

December 12th, 2007 at 12:42 pmYou are agitated because it is a factual comment.
Comment by Daryll — December 12, 2007 @ 12:39 pm
Actually, you are agitated because you have no proof of god, and I have proof of no god. And if you want to prevent terrorist attacks, stop electing republicans. they are incompetent on national defense and everything else.

Comment by Daryll — December 12, 2007 @ 12:41 pm
and the facts show that he is a craven sinner who failed miserably to protect the country, several times. You’re pretty blinded by your ignorance and “faith”, sucker.
December 12th, 2007 at 12:43 pmBush is responsible for at least 78,000 dead Iraqi civilians.
That is the bottom of the barrel estimate.
The real number is likely 10 times that amount.
But, Tony Snow says ‘it’s a number’.

December 12th, 2007 at 12:44 pmAlso, President Bush can do as he pleases because he is the Potus. DEAL WITH IT!!!!
Comment by Daryll — December 12, 2007 @ 12:43 pm
i’ll be glad when i read the same thing from y8ou about President Clinton. DEAL WITH IT!!!
December 12th, 2007 at 12:44 pmDoesn’t the talmud say about the same thing?
According to the Talmud, Yeshu was the son of a Jewish woman named Miriam who was betrothed to a carpenter. “Betrothed” means she was legally married to him, but she was not yet living with him or having sexual relations with him. The story says that Miriam was either raped by or voluntarily slept with Pandeira, a Greek or Roman soldier. Miriam than gave birth to Yeshu, who was considered a “mamzer” (bastard), a product of an adulterous relationship. The Talmud describes Yeshu as a heretic who dabbled in sorcery and lead the people astray. Later, the Sanhedrin (the Jewish “Supreme Court”) ordered Yeshu stoned to death and his dead body was hung from a tree until nightfall after his death, in accordance with the ancient Jewish punishment for heretics.
Huckabee says its wrong for people to attack others for their religious beliefs, yet many see the war in Iraq as a war against the Islamic religion. All of this religious racism, Talmudic, Christian, Muslim, Mormon, Catholic MUST stop.
Daryll, it is not right for you to attack people that are not religious and claim they are going to hell. YOU are not their judge.
As for Huckabees statement I think its the Adam whose brother is supposed to be Satan in the Mormon religion.
December 12th, 2007 at 12:44 pmGee, let me see bad brothers.
Able and Cain
Edom and Esau
Adam and Satan
December 12th, 2007 at 12:46 pmSo, Daryll admits that between Dec. 18-24, he will be trolling gay Rio beaches for bathroom sex?
I am not sure God will be happy with that.
December 12th, 2007 at 12:46 pmPresident bush does what he pleases becasue he is the brother of Satan, spawn of the devil. Otherwise, he’d do his job, not what he pleases. Thanks, Daryll, you’ve proven that Bush is the devil. not that we needed any proof; his mass-murdering ways are pretty clear to the civilized people of the world (leaving out rightwing nutcases, of course).
December 12th, 2007 at 12:46 pmIt is illeagl without a warrant and Bush admitted to that FACT.
Doesn’t have a thing to do with it. Did you stop beating your wife recently?
No he can’t.
Should have known this came from TPs very own Nazi church troll.

Comment by Daryll — December 12, 2007 @ 12:41 pm
Galations 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance
Let’s examine President Bush
December 12th, 2007 at 12:49 pmlove: questionable
joy: doubtful
peace: absolutely not
longsuffering: giving it, yes; meaning patient, hardly
gentleness: no way
faith: I’m not the judge of this
meekness: “I’m the Decider” says absolutely not
temperance: with substances, doubtful; as in measured “I don’t do nuance” indicates not at all
True, I consider you deceased because of your attack on our soil.
December 12th, 2007 at 12:49 pmDaryll, you didn’t answer my question if god condones waterboarding. You inserted your opinion (how telling) instead of what is god’s word.
And you bile about the POTUS is sad on so many levels. You want to remain subserviant I’m not going to stop you. I won’t be silent when the likes of you spout that our freedoms can be taken away for security. Our Nation is much stronger than that. You profess the same destructive methods as the Nazis in the 30’s.
So, once again I’ll ask. Does God condone waterboarding?
December 12th, 2007 at 12:51 pmThe increase in violent civilian Iraqi deaths since our invasion is about 1,200,000. This does NOT include those who have died in other ways due to our invasion , such as destruction of clean water and their healthcare. For instance, one in eight Iraqi children now die before the age of five! One in four in Afghanistan. Is that would Jesus would do? No, Jesus would act more like Dennis Kucinich.
December 12th, 2007 at 12:51 pmYour comment about President Bush and other candidates is horrible. President Bush and the other candidates do not support abortion nor homosexuality. But your party does. Who is really influenced by the devil?

eh?
December 12th, 2007 at 12:51 pmSo we should elect a Democrat, such as Clinton, to ensure that nothing is done to protect our soil. Thanks for the info.
Comment by Daryll — December 12, 2007 @ 12:49 pm
Bush is responsible for 9/11. That’s a historical fact. Too bad for you that a woman would do a better job in every aspect of leading the USA than that panty-waist coward of a deserter, Bush. Too bad you have to wake up every day to the fact that your president failed the nation and the world on 9/11. It explains some of your psychosis, and your reliance on the invisible, non-existent sky-guy.
December 12th, 2007 at 12:52 pmIf it wasn’t for this war, you or your love ones may have been considered deceased because of an attack on our soil. Seriously, thank our President.

December 12th, 2007 at 12:54 pmIf you have an invisible friend that speaks to you, listens to you, or otherwise has an effect on your actions, you are crazy, deranged, off-your-rocker. That is, unless your friend’s name is Jesus.
December 12th, 2007 at 12:54 pm#40 – couldn’t agree with you more. I was raised baptist, confirmed Lutheran and educated myself to the point of atheism. Wanna know who is the most reviled group in this country??? Atheists. Can you even imagine ANY politician running WITHOUT religion? There is no way in hell (all puns intended) that an atheist would ever get elected to anything.
For those of you who do “believe” in these myths, fine. I’ll leave you alone if you do the same. I ask you, who is more virtuos, the person who acts out of fear of damnation and needs some book to tell them what to do, or the person who acts out of love of humanity and community?
The hypocricy of religion knows no bounds.

Bush is a Methodist. Hillary Clinton is a Methodist. I’m a Methodist. You’re not a Methodist. So, I guess if Jesus has been working through Bush, he is also working through Ms. Clinton and through me, but not you.
December 12th, 2007 at 12:55 pmvituous that is…

December 12th, 2007 at 1:07 pmIt was Adam, Huckabee, not Jesus.
I wonder what school of theology Huck went too?
December 12th, 2007 at 1:09 pmAfter all the fake religious BS that we have witnessed over the past 7 + years,
why the hell are we even listening to these morons??
The republicans conned the deeply religious and the religious wannabes into voting against their own interests, and then they proved just how dishonest they are to those people.
Now we have another guy who helped a rapist go free trying to act holier than thou. Are we going to have another episode of fake-ass religious people falling all over themselves to try and appear like they have “values.”
Once again the talking points of the candidates are moving into the realm of topics that (if God forbid they are elected) they cannot do shiznit about. Can they enact a “Jesus, morality, fake Christian promoting” constitutional amendment?
Enough! How about some real issues like the moronic crusade to Iraq or the fact that Republican officials drank the kool-aid years ago and became the most corrupt group of politicians EVER!
December 12th, 2007 at 1:09 pmDaryll is an angel sent from Jebus to test the faithfull. Any person of faith who reads the patently stupid and ridiculous comments of Brother Daryll has to question their own association with such simpletons.
No one. No one could seriously believe what the good Bro says he does, he is just a parody, he’s just funnin’ with you.
You have to admit, he is pretty consistent and comes up with some good one-liners. “The pResident can do what he wants, he’s the POTUS.” That is classic!

That would be the “Close Cover Before Striking School of Theology”.

He just ran out to burn a few crosses in his neighbor’s yards.
December 12th, 2007 at 1:15 pmyou are probably right nanlichi, about Daryll. That won’t stop me from enjoying the responses and throwing my 2 cents in from time to time.
December 12th, 2007 at 1:16 pm“know them by their fruits” – - Indeed!
December 12th, 2007 at 1:16 pm“The pResident can do what he wants, he’s the POTUS.†—Daryll
Then why complain about Clinton getting a bj?
December 12th, 2007 at 1:16 pmnanlichi,
No, I don’t think Daryll is a parody. What he says is mirrored by many other fundamentalists. Like a weed, his ideology must be attacked or it will spread. I have, until recently, been a quiet Christian, not wanting to push my progressive and liberal beliefs on anyone. However, with the political power in the hands of the American Christian Pharisees who share Daryll’s beliefs, there is a threat to my political and religious freedom. I will defend that freedom.

President Gore would have paid attention to all the warnings and prevented the ATTACK ON OUR SOIL.
You are a joke. I impressed at how you can justify the killing of .5 to 1 million people in a country that did not have either WMDs or Al Queda.
Hitler would have liked you.

Comment by Daryll — December 12, 2007 @ 12:48 pm
Because of THIS president’s lackadaisacal atitude towards a clear and present danger (”Bin Laden determined to attack inside the US”, isn’t that what the daily briefing said a month before 9/11?), 3000 loved ones ARE deceased because of an attack on American soil. Seriously, THANK OUR PRESIDENT?? Give your head a shake, fool. Seriously, no one appreciates you pissing on the graves of the dead.
Furthermore,
Jesus works through President Bush, so yes, in a way, Jesus is ruling our nation.
Comment by Daryll — December 12, 2007 @ 12:36 pm
If Jesus is working through Bush, does that mean Jesus WANTED Bush to ignore the warnings and WANTED to allow the 9/11 attack for his own purposes? Is that what you’re saying? Or is it that Jesus was asleep at the switch that day? Or is it that Allah was stronger that day?
If Jesus is working through Bush, I think he chose a seriously defective tool–emphasis on TOOL.
December 12th, 2007 at 1:23 pmhellinabucket,
I enjoy poking fun at the good Bro on occasion. My understanding is that he is a real person and is really as primitive as he appears, so I feel bad about making fun of the severely handicapped. God will forgive me, I hope.
PLC,
I agree that the fundamentalists are a threat. They don’t seem to see themselves as two sides of the same coin as the jihadists they rail against, and it could be argued that they are a more serious threat than the minority of fundamental Muslims. I know one self professed Christian that has done more harm to my country than Osama could ever hope to, and want to make sure the next pResident doesn’t share the same fundamentalist flaw.
I don’t mean any harm to the vast majority of Christians when I poke fun at Daryll, I do mean harm to the fundamentalists who jam their religion in my life.
December 12th, 2007 at 1:28 pmJebus, Darryll…you are one sick fluck.
December 12th, 2007 at 1:29 pmThis is Huck’s first gaff, and it may be all that is needed to bring his numbers back down to Earth. I had really hoped that he was a bigger man than to poke fun at Mitt’s religion.
December 12th, 2007 at 1:47 pmJ – if we turn the elections into a referendum on religion, this is all you will get – one denomination attacking the other, and the whole thing will amount to 2 giant steps backward for the ol’ USA.
Read that Kennedy speech – best job anyone’s done of asserting their faith and staying true to the Constitution.
Those Founding Fathers were religious, but they were also very smart. Too smart to let infighting amongst religious factions derail the “great experiment” of Democracy.
December 12th, 2007 at 1:56 pmJesus and the Devil are brothers? Hey, c’mon. You here every so often that Jesus was a brother, but I always thought the devil was white.

LOL HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA Good one Jason. Very funny.
December 12th, 2007 at 2:11 pmI have been saying this all the time.
This NIE is politically driven attack on the administration by certain elements in the intelligence community who are unhappy about the war in Iraq.

Terrorists are not going to attack your doublewide, you can get out from under your bed. I live in New York City, this president’s policies make it more likely I wil die by a terrorist attack (2,800 of my neighbors already did). It’s that simple, you support terrorists. You are a terrorist supporter

I actually meant to cut and paste Darryl’s comments, oh well.
December 12th, 2007 at 2:16 pmWell kids, what have we learned from this post today?
That religion should always be separate from politics. But noooooo, the right can’t seem to follow that. They’re even attacking their own (although fun to watch, it proves meaningless when it comes to political positions)
We also learned the Daryll of Parodyll is going to Rio for some man on man “restroom love”! And although I have no problem with that, I’m not sure his new bride would be as accepting.
Finally, we observe JMH is still a misogynist 40 year virgin (or is he 41 now?), whose “Ivy league” education still has him posting from his mother’s basement, presumably due to Florida’s “Island Heat Effect”
Weeeee, what fun!
December 12th, 2007 at 2:16 pm…and than they call muslims religious fanatics…
December 12th, 2007 at 2:22 pmI read the reply by someone from the LDS about the Jesus and Stan being brothers remark. Her answer was that Satan is the opposite of everything Jesus stands for.

I realize its probably a typo, but I love the concept of Jesus’ brother Stan. Then, of course, there’s the Santa/Satan thing. . .war on Christmas indeed.
December 12th, 2007 at 2:33 pmGayrll is on very disturbed neanderturd, my goodness and this sicko calls himself Chirstian….I don’t think so Gayrll, you are SICK SICK SICK.
Hope you have a terrible time on your vacation at the gay beaches.

There is evidence to support that. But I tend to believe it’s partially a kneejerk reaction to the person rather the religion. It’s also fairly obvious that those who espouse one religion or another aren’t actually following their paths, but inciting.
There are others here who use restraint when discussing the foundations of someone elses religion.
I had asked Daryll if God condones waterboarding. He sidestepped the question and stated he himself didn’t see anything wrong with it but couldn’t state that god did. My guess is that he couldn’t bring himself to lie, knowing full well the bible does not support torture.
December 12th, 2007 at 3:10 pmBARTLEBEE, not all regulars here are religious intolerant. PLC for one (and I for another). It’s the perversion in the name of Christianity, or other spiritual beliefs, that gets to many here (i.e. Daryll of Parodyll).
December 12th, 2007 at 3:12 pmI prefer not to engage in theological debates here because it usually boils down to proof of existence vs. proof on non-existence, which to me is counter productive (I love the one poster who wanted to start an organization called atheists for Christ).
My opinion is, to be a true progressive, one must be tolerant of all religion/beliefs. Once we start favoring one over the other, or denouncing a certain denomination, then we as a nation, have failed.
Progressives have been friends of the Faithful ever since the Underground Railroad was operational.
December 12th, 2007 at 3:14 pmAnd Bart, if you want to fly off the handle and beat me up for that, I’m just going to turn the other cheek.
December 12th, 2007 at 3:15 pmMerry Christmas to all.
DRxJ, well said.
December 12th, 2007 at 3:19 pmFar too many times this site becomes a microcomsim of the public at large. The extremists are the loudest on both the right and the left.
December 12th, 2007 at 3:21 pmO Bart, you angry, angry man….you know I was teasing by telling that truth. I agree with you down the line. It’s about getting the church-folk to understand that by inviting gov’t and religion to mix, they’re only going to bring trouble on themselves, which is why the Founders knew the best route to religious freedom was to keep government away from it, and vice versa.
harriet tubman – that was good, and i’m still gettin a chuckle out of it.
December 12th, 2007 at 4:10 pmDamn Bart. First you ask for tolerance then you go off on tombaker like some kind of fanatic. Like the fanatics, you lose the argument before you start.
December 12th, 2007 at 6:27 pmBartlebee has never been consistent, nanlichi. I am thinking he must be a Congressional Republican.
