1. Revenge for Romney voting to impeach Trump...twice.

[RockRaven]

2. That's what LDS Republicans voted for. Congrats on getting what you wanted, Mormons!

3. 100%! Dipshits

4. Looks like the Scientologists are SOL, too.

5. WTF is the DOD deciding "Christian" religions?

[underpants]

13. Dog tags and burial procedures I think.

Mine said Presbyterian because I didn’t want to draw attention. I mean I was Christened (I think that’s right) as a Presbyterian.

6. Lot of Christofascists hate and preach actively

against Mormons, right wing Catholics too. This was done intentionally, not an oversight, despite what gets said.

I am assuming lots of LDS men and women join military after 2 year missionary service, and are probably really good at their jobs. This is going to get switched, I have to believe.

7. note that Jehovah's Witnesses are included as Christians

Even though they deny the trinity, as do Mormons

8. Sen. Mike Lee (R - Mormon) has posted at least twice about this

12. Tots and pears

You ignorant mother fucker.

Zero turds to give for anyone who supported trump

9. Under Trump/Hegseth, religions must be politically correct to be approved.

We have our own religious/political folks who say Catholics are not Christians.

Franklin (and Billy) Graham say Mormons are not Christians

According to them, Catholics are not Christians either.

"We need something like what Jerry Falwell did in the 1980s. We need a “moral majority”-made up of Christians, Jews, Mormons, Catholics and many others of faith-to come together to take a stand for our religious freedoms and rights."

19. When I was a child, Catholic friends and schooolmates

at public school told me I was not Christian because my family was Lutheran. They said that they were taught that Catholicism was the only true faith and the rest of us were Pagans who faked and mocked Christianity.

However, in my Lutheran Sunday School, we were NOT taught to regard other Christian denominations as unChristian. Just different expressions of faith.

That was in the 1950s. AFAIK, today Catholics do not consider other Christian denominations as Pagans.

10. Gonna be some pissed off LDS soldiers

or maybe no LDS soldiers at all.......ever wonder why recruitments are down, Petey-poo?

[haele]

15. There's lots of LDS soldiers and sailors...

When I was going to my Navy Enlistment Code school in 1979, Mare Island Service School Command was cheekily known as Deseret...

11. ROFLMAO

Evangelicals do not like Mormons, they think they are a cult. They are down near the bottom of the list with Atheists.

I told my golf buddy, a Mormon Repub. this was a year ago. Let him know that he better be careful, because all that hate he hears on Fox, if they get by the liberals, they will be at the top of the list of targeted groups.

14. You'd think the LDS sexism would endear them.

[Norrrm]

17. Note - it includes LDS.

Just not as Christian - although the full name of the religion (as listed) is: Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

[Hope22]

18. Ouch! Nt

[ColoringFool]

20. As Well It Should Be. Christianity Has No Truck With Men Becoming Gods.

[orangecrush]

21. LDS?

OK, guess I'm a little dyslexic
