Marriott head praises Romney for bringing Mormonism ‘out of obscurity’By Rachel Streitfeld, CNN Political Producer Boston (CNN) - The head of the Marriott hotel chain, in deeply personal and reflective remarks at a New Hampshire church Sunday, credited Mitt Romney with changing Americans' perceptions about Mormonism. J.W. Marriott Jr., a hotel magnate from one of America's most prominent Mormon families, spoke during services at the Wolfeboro branch of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - where Mitt and Ann Romney were also in attendance. In his testimony, Marriott said he saw the church "coming out of obscurity" thanks to Romney's prominence as the GOP presidential nominee, and marveled that 90% of the media reports on Romney's Mormon faith had "been favorable."

Al says atheists follow Satan's lies of unrighteousness. Any atheists that are trying to destroy this country: is that really why you're doing what Al says you're doing?
Oh, I forgot to say I think Al might be a Mormon.
Al? Is the Garden of Eden really in Jackson County Missouri?
President George H W Bush has said an atheist is not a patriot and should not be a citizen of the USA. We are one nation under God. A lot of the atheist wanna bees posting here are not even Americans they are foreigners trying to undermine our values. God bless
In HW's defense he was just off a long flight. He didn't think flight attendants were patriots either.
W is a complete moron. God less.
just sayin': pull the bible out of your rectum. god bless
A sh!tty chain hotel
and a sh!tty chain religion.
A match made in mediocrity heaven................
Marriot head gives head to Mittens. Magic Stones are hard to read, better let the experts translate and henceforth tell you how to live. Makes sense.
Only for new members of this blog:
Why the Christian Right no longer matters in presidential elections:
And why Mitt Romney and Mr. Marriott are simply wasting their money:
Once again, all the conservative votes in the country "ain't" going to help a "pro-life" presidential candidate, i.e Mitt Romney, in 2012 as the "Immoral Majority" rules the country and will be doing so for awhile. The "Immoral Majority" you ask?
The fastest growing USA voting bloc: In 2008, the 70+ million "Roe vs. Wade mothers and fathers" of aborted womb-babies" whose ranks grow by two million per year i.e. 78+ million "IM" voters in 2012.
2008 Presidential popular vote results:
69,456,897 for pro-abortion/choice BO, 59,934,814 for "pro-life" JM.
And the irony:
And all because many women fail to take the Pill once a day or men fail to use a condom even though in most cases these men have them in their pockets. (maybe they should be called the "Stupid Majority"?)
The failures of the widely used birth "control" methods i.e. the Pill and male condom have led to the large rate of abortions ( one million/yr) and S-TDs (19 million/yr) in the USA. Men and women must either recognize their responsibilities by using the Pill or condoms properly and/or use other safer birth control methods in order to reduce the epidemics of abortion and S-TDs.
When ohhh when.... Will a pundit ask mitt romney when the mormon church stop believing black peoples skin is a curse... And white peoples is a privledge? Due to a pre-earth war in the heavens? And what they did to change the minds of those they indoctrinated with it prior to them changing their beliefs?

Good on ya Scott. I see you have this place covered. I can go back to the more nerdly aspects of refuting all the theist/deist baloney. You'd be welcome at TheThinkingAtheist.com anytime. But, someone's got to be out there. You should get paid for all you do. 👿
What Fluffy said. Ditto. You and ScottCA both rock.
Fluffy, I seek no pay for simply doing what is logically and rationally correct and moral. If I can help to make a dent in this ignorance called faith based religion then I will be leaving a better more moral world for my son. Men of reason and good conscience must push back against this insanity. The cost of doing nothing is too high in suffering.
And no matter how difficult this battle to protect logic and reason from the attacks of Christianity may be, I predict an even more difficult one will be waged with Islam in the near future.

Obama really ought to ask Mitt if he believes black people are cursed. It would be a classic moment of confrontation.

Mittens would have to choose to betray his faith and lie to be elected or tell the truth and lose the election.
Another atheist liar. When will you stop!???
@scot you got that right......
HeavenSent now goes by the name of Al. Got it.

All you atheists are liars that are democrats.

Lies of the atheist democrat liar.
Prayer changes things,
Prayer bot you are right, Prayer changes otherwise sane human beings into irrational insane ones praying to figments of their imagination for which they have no evidence of existing..
The insanity belongs to the atheists liars.
Atheism is one of the best things to have around a child. They learn morality for humanity's sake, for one. And they are very self-starting and self-reliant for the most part.
Atheists have murdered more people in the last 100 years than were killed in all previous centuries. Murder doesn't appear to be healthy for children but it must be different at your place.
I'm sorry "Atheism is not healthy for children and other living things", but you assertions regarding atheism and prayer are unfounded. I see that you repeat these unfounded statements with high frequency. Perhaps the following book might help you overcome this problem:
I'm Told I Have Dementia: What You Can Do... Who You Can Turn to... by the Alzheimer's Disease Society
Truth be told,. Hitler was a Christian. He believed strongly that the Aryan race was selected by god to rule the world. That is why he spent so much effort to find and locate lost historical holy relics to validate his belief. Also Nazi Belts said "God with us"
Your claims are completely without factual merit.
No rational person who has viewed this video, could possibly, for one minute, give an ounce of credence to the lies known as Mormonism. It's simply entirely a bunch of crap.

Is YouTube always right? More than the Book of Mormon?
Logic Reason are always right over faith. Faith means to believe in something for no good reason, thus it can offer us no reasons for what we should do or ought to do.
YouTube is where it was posted. The docu'mentary was created by rational investigators. YouTube has nothing to do with anything. Refute the history, or STFU.
Atheists believe in Satan. Talk about insanity.
Post by 'Al' is an instance of the Willed Ignorance fallacy with additional ad hominem elements.

Al posted: "Atheists believe in Satan. Talk about insanity."
I'm sorry, "Al", but your assertions about atheism are unfounded. Perhaps you can tell me what lead you to these misunderstandings.
Actually Atheists rationally deduce that their is no evidence to support the existence of either god or Satan, and that these concepts only exist in your imagination only with no evidence to support them. Just as it is insane to believe in the 6ft tall green monster in my closet without evidence so is it insanity to believe in god without evidence.
They are myths just like Zeus, and Hades–the Greeks had cooler imaginations though.
By all means, learn about Mormonism. And that means going beyond propaganda from Mormons.

Mormonism is pretty ridiculous, and anyone who is naive enough to follow it does not deserve to be President.
That said, I'm an atheist and all religions sound like utter nonsense to me. Mormonism and Scientology are just the worst of the bunch.
Atheists = Satanist = destroying USA morals.
No, I don't believe in your devil, either. Your division and bigotry is what's "tearing apart our morals".
At least I don't believe in imaginary things, like god or trickle-down economics.
In Missouri we know all about Mormons. Did you know there are different kinds? My dad said some of them have more guns than sense. I think that may be the best way to tell the difference.
So this dude is the Dan Cathy of the LDS church it seems.
Who knows whose heart and mind you touch by having a copy of the Gideon in the room.
Keep on keeping on!
I want the NIV Bible, not some Gideon swill.
How about neither? Both are complete nonsense!
NIV was changed by the satanists. That's why you love it so atheist pretender.
Al, you're sick. Don't assume the rest of us need your medicine.
I'm a Negro. A Mormon told me that is because we turned our backs on God one time a long time ago.
Atheists are liars and bad at it when they post this garbage.
The Mormon church did hold that black people were black because of sin...a mark from God.
Frank, they didn't let black men join the priesthood until the 1970's!
First guy? I don't know much about that. Why do atheists need to lie?
Don't ask for reasons from those who follow faith. Faith means to believe in something for no good reason.
Faith can offer us no guidance in regards to what we should do or ought to do, both of these require reasons and logic.
Faith means we follow Jesus' righteousness, not Satan's lies of unrighteousness that the atheists that are destroying this country follow.
