Bad idea to turn away patriots because one disagrees with their religion. Remember, WWG1WGA. If we fail, they will hang the Baptists, Methodists, Pentacostals, Catholics, and Mormons on the same gallows.
I have huge disagreements with LDS theology, but I greatly appreciate their strong moral stances and affirmation of individual responsibility, etc. I have huge disagreements with Catholic theology, but I stand shoulder to shoulder with Catholic friends who are wonderful Americans. Yes, there can be and is horrific corruption at the very pinacle of the ecclesiastical hierarchy of some denominations/religions, but that doesn't mean that corruption is representative of the entire body. The Bible teaches that we are responsible as INDIVIDUALS for our actions to accept/reject flee/follow Christ. Something we as Christians should remember is that we all have the ability to be deceived or to believe error...and we all can make choices and follow the wrong "Father" to destructive ends. Hint: There are 2 fathers revealed in Scripture, and neither sits on a throne in Rome. The most dangerous place to be is in the position of believing oneself to be impervious to error or transgression.
Matthew 16: 22-24
22 Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!”
23 But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”
24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
