MSNBC‘s Bashir Uses Book of Mormon to Warn Romney of ’Eternal Damnation’ for Alleged Lies

This story is a couple of days old, but just too good to pass up…

I’ve read the Bible and parts of the Koran, but have never had the nerve to sit down and read yet another silly book unworthy of my time. I’m referring of course to the Book of Mormon. But if the quotes in this article from that book of fairy tales is any indication, there’s no point in reading it, as it is just more of the same – hell, punishment, eternal damnation, fire, death, brimstone – in other words, more of the old, redundant, overused rhetoric contained in the Bible and Koran.

By the way, there is yet one more book which falls into the utterly stupid category: Dianetics. I’ve only read a few pages of it, and although it is quite different from the aforementioned fictions, it might just be the most absurd of all of them; if this is possible. Suffice it to say that L. Ron Hubbard had quite an imagination, although his imagination pales in comparison to the ignorance of those who believe his whacked-out claims. Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Kirstie Alley and all of the other idiots who belong to Scientology may actually be bigger fools than Mormons, Muslims and Christians; and that is saying a lot!

But hey, who’s keeping  track – they’re all insane? All I know is that there is a very good chance that we will have a moron, I mean Mormon, sitting in the White House next year, and that is a very scary thought. TGO

MSNBC’s Martin Bashir took the time to slam Mitt Romney for allegedly lying, while using the Book of Mormon to lecture the Republican presidential candidate about the tenets of a moral character. According to Bashir, Romney has told three lies over the past few days (about Ted Nugent’s endorsement, unemployment under President Obama and the media’s leftist tilt) — an offense punishable by “eternal damnation.”

“It doesn’t matter how many times he hears the truth, Mitt Romney prefers to tell lies,” Bashir said, going on to call the leading GOP candidate “Mitt the Mendacious.”

But his excoriating rant wasn’t done there, as he turned to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to more fully reprimand Romney for his alleged offenses. The Huffington Post has more:

Then, he [Bashir] wondered how Romney would be punished for lying, and whipped out the religious text of Romney’s faith.

“In Section 63, in verse 17 of the Doctrine and Covenants of the Mormon Church we find this: ‘All liars, and whosoever loveth and and maketh a lie, and the whoremonger, and the sorcerer, shall have their part in that lake which burneth with fire and brimstone which is the second death,’” Bashir said. “And from the Book of Mormon to Nephi, Chapter 2, Verse 34 we find this: ‘Woe unto the liar, for he shall be thrust down to hell.’”

“Given what the Book of Mormon is clearly saying, Mr. Romney has but two choices,” Bashir railed on. “He can either keep lying and potentially win the White House, but bring eternal damnation upon himself or he can start telling the truth. The question for him, I guess, is which is more important.”
