I did not, I was just interjecting my knowledge of LDS practices. I did not comment on the Rubio issue, except that Rubio is now considered by the Catholic church to be Catholic. If he was on the Mormon roll, unless he went through the processing of asking to be removed from their roll, he is still considered a Mormon, an apostate Mormon, but never formally excommunicated, unless joining another church automatically ex- communicates you. I will have to look into this.
Most churches discourage conversion, because most churches believe they are the one true faith. This is the way they discourage joining other faiths. Their way is the only way to salvation.
Man, I never realized how quick Conservatives are to play the bigot card!
I dont expect it, because Ive never known you to admit when you are wrong... but Damo, you owe me an apology.
It is when you continue to say it when shown to be wrong and use it as a stick to "beat" them with.1) You still dont know what a bigot is, saying something false about a group is not bigotry.
But it does make one ignorant. What makes one an idiot is continuing to spread it after given correct information.2) I might be wrong about Mormons, but being misinformed does not make one an idiot.
And here is where it becomes deliberate.3) I do not belive I am wrong and have not been proven wrong.

Don't be deliberately obtuse, stupid doesn't look good on you and it cripples your ability to even appear as if you are trying to argue something.
Yup. However, just like Obama was a member from a choice made by family in his childhood of a religion that calls you "Apostate" if you convert to another religion and we accept that he is actually not a member of that religion, so too it would apply to Rubio.
Do you understand that this person that started this thread would call it religious bigotry if I said that Obama is a Muslim, but in this instance disregards an equal allusion to another?
Seriously, that is religious bigotry and hypocrisy.
While you and I provide actual information, Jarod came here to spread ignorance.
One actually CAN leave the "Mormon" church (LDS Church), you actually state it in this post, it is unique in my experience therefore (and the reason I have asked for one single link to an official page stating you can never do that...)
The assumption that it will matter here but we should ignore the same circumstance (parents choosing your religion as a child) with one person, but attempt to spread it about another is bigotry based in partisanship.
First, link up the "rule" on an official Mormon website. Just saying, "According to the Mormon Church"... doesn't make it real.
(There is no "Mormon" church, BTW, they are called Latter Day Saints in official channels).
LOL. I know many, many "ex" Mormons. This is just stupid religious bigotry. You make up whatever you want and then expect us all to believe it.
Rubio is a practicing Catholic who converted to Catholicism at 11 years old.

Now, tell me again how liberals actually will learn about something before spouting stupid.
It's not a card, you are deliberately spreading ignorance and when given an opportunity to correct you jump in with both feet.
Can you provide one link from the Church that states you can never leave the LDS Church? If not, you are simply spreading ignorance, which is currently purposeful if you will not change your assertions to fit the actual facts.
And you are lying, I have apologized to you when I was wrong. You are now spreading lies about me as well.
It is when you continue to say it when shown to be wrong and use it as a stick to "beat" them with.
But it does make one ignorant. What makes one an idiot is continuing to spread it after given correct information.
And here is where it becomes deliberate.
1) I never called Rubio a Mormon. From my perspective he is a Catholic. From the perspective of two mormon friends I was speaking with over the weekend he is a Mormon.
The fact remains that once you've joined the LDS church, thechurch hierarchy consider you a member for life...no matter what YOU do or which religion you convert to later, the CHURCH will consider you Mormon.
1) Deliberately spreading something that is false about a group is absolutely bigotry.
2) When you state something as a fact and then use that fact to defend you other 'positions' it most certainly does make you an idiot. If you are going to comment on what a religion believes, you should actually make sure you know what you are talking about.
3) Just go to the LDS website Jarod. LDS members can get divorced, they can submit to have their names removed from the rolls, they can have marriages annulled. You aren't even remotely close to being right. No matter how much Dung and Onceler defend your ignorance, you are still ignorant.
Then tell us Jarod... why did you ask if there might be a 'double Mormon ticket'?
Please link us up to the LDS site's area that says this. Because it is not true from all accounts I have heard. So do enlighten us.
1) You clearly do not know what bigotry is.
2) Just because you can get divorced or have your name removed does not mean they belive you are no longer a Mormon.
Please link us up to the LDS site's area that says this. Because it is not true from all accounts I have heard. So do enlighten us.
So, if a cite does not say it, it cant be true? WOW, thats a new maxium..... Im sure the scientifc community will be abuzz with that new information!
