  I absolutely LOVE it when these superstitious cults get caught up in their own lies.

  Mark of Cain, caffeine...no wonder they love Romney, they think "flip-flopping" is a virtue.

  "Alien from the planet Kolob bless America" <---sounds silly, doesn't it? ;)

  Mormon's ok'd coke after they bought into the soft drink industry, just like they declared the Black's were no longer an animal, as long as they had money to donate to the Church. J.W. Simms.[wink]

  , Really?!! As a Coke-a-holic, now I can return to the fold?!

  Hah! Sorry, but, just like the whole Mark of Cain thing, it's about 30years to late...

  Nice try, though...you Mormons are getting more and more like real Christians every day...(Catholics suddenly finding it ok to not speak in Latin, etc...)

  Is this like how the Mormons "clarified" that they didn't think African Americans were Satan on earth just about 20 years ago? And isn't Hot Chocolate a "hot" drink?

  Of all the FLAMING hypocritical lies pumped out by this CULT, this tops the list!!!
  I'll spit in the eye of the next person who tries to tell me that the Mormon CULT does not enter into politics.
  This is blatant pandering on the part of cult member Romney to try to help get him elected president.
  Lying hypocrites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  You Mormons make me sick, sick, sick.
  Has Olivia Cortez joined Mitten's team yet, as a strategist???????

  I thought that the church had a large position in Coke as a company?

  What's with all the stories about Mormons-free campaigning for a certain candidate?

  Is this a newspaper or a SuperPac?

  I was born in Salt Lake City into a non-Mormon family. We were always berated by Mormons for drinking caffeine so we believed that was their doctrine. It's either progressive or wishy-washy that they've "clarified the policy" at this time - I hope they can clarify that. Wow, maybe now they'll make it okay for any person to go into any room in their church buildings!

  There's something wrong here. Many years ago when I was in the fold, I went to the bishop looking to get a temple recommend. After asking if I masturbated, he then wanted to know if I had taken in any drinks like coffee, tea
  , coke.

  I guess I will have to let the Mormons I know who think that the church forbids it that it does not.
