As an Australian: I have no idea who either of those people are.

[–]QQuetzalcoatl 4 points5 points ago

Mitt Romney- candidate for president, and a Mormon.

[–]ps02210 9 points10 points ago

I don't think the second one is a Mormon...

[–]aspeenat -5 points-4 points ago

Why did you need to put his religion? Do you say George W. Bush former president and a Christian?

[–]NewDrekSilver 13 points14 points ago

Well every president within living memory has been Christian, so that's why people mention that Romney is Mormon. Same reason why people brought up that Obama was black, but didn't bring up that McCain was white.

[–]QQuetzalcoatl -1 points0 points ago

took words mouth ty

[–]tbot2112 -1 points0 points ago

...except he is Christian. Officially, it's the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

[–]TheBoat15 -2 points-1 points ago

Mormons are Christians...

[–]NewDrekSilver -1 points0 points ago

Are you being serious? They're two different religions, the book of Mormon is basically fan fiction of Christianity, but it's very VERY different.

[–]TheBoat15 3 points4 points ago

Regardless of the specifics of their beliefs, they believe that Jesus Christ was the messiah. That makes them Christian.

From Dictionary.com

of, pertaining to, or derived from Jesus Christ or His teachings: a Christian faith. 2. of, pertaining to, believing in, or belonging to the religion based on the teachings of Jesus Christ: Spain is a Christian country.

[–]DaGoodBoy -1 points0 points ago

Not so much. Mormons don't accept the Nicene creed which lumps them in with other cults like the Jehovah's Witness. Specifically, they proclaim that God (the father) and Jesus (the son) are two distinct Gods, and that we can become Gods, too. If no other Christian church accepts your church, you can't still claim to be a member of their group. Mormons are "Mormons" not Christians.

[–]TheBoat15 0 points1 point ago

Jehovah's witnesses are also christians. The amount of intolerance you're spouting is ridiculous.

The very article you linked to stated that it is only used by "mainstream" branches of Christianity. The term Christianity is a blanket term for all religions that are a monotheistic and Abrahamic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus as presented in canonical gospels and other New Testament writings. Mormons follow the teachings of the new testament and they also adhere to the belief that the Old Testament is canonical.

If no other Christian church accepts your church, you can't still claim to be a member of their group.

Catholics don't accept a whole lot of churches as true Christian churches. They only accept if they have maintained apostolic succession and observe all seven sacraments. Only a few (Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Assyrian Church of the East and few others).

[–]DaGoodBoy -1 points0 points ago

It's not intolerant to state that all the historical branches of Christianity from Orthodox, Catholic, Reformed, Baptist, Anglican, Presbyterian, Methodist, Episcopalian and even most non-denominational congregations I've worshiped with accept certain key distinctive Christian beliefs. Specifically, a foundational belief in the trinity defined in Nicene Creed.

Please feel free to define your terms however you like, but don't expect the rest of Christendom to use your definitions. And calling people intolerant does not make them so.

I define cult as sociologists do. See the definition for Cult, particularly this:

Sociologists still maintain that unlike sects, which are products of religious schism and therefore maintain a continuity with traditional beliefs and practices, "cults" arise spontaneously around novel beliefs and practices

The mormon beliefs are unique to their group and redefine commonly accepted definitions of words defined in traditional Christian vernacular. The Jahovah's Witness also deviate from mainstream Christian beliefs by denying Christ's divinity in a way unique to their group.

[–]themacguffinman 11 points12 points ago

Don't pretend it's not noteworthy.

[–]RobertTheSpruce -4 points-3 points ago

Probably because, though all religions are stupid, the mormon faith is especially stupid.

[–]diriculous 39 points40 points ago

Up vote anything to do with the grinch, regardless of its intended purpose.

[–]DJAshian 16 points17 points ago

"Holiday-whooday-whatee?" is still a very prominent part of my casual vernacular.

[–]prettymuchdrunk 15 points16 points ago

I don't want to unsee this! This will make all political news coverage from now until November vastly more interesting.

[–]baginagi 9 points10 points ago

You can't unsee anything

[–]donotquoteme 5 points6 points ago

Tell that to Biff Tannen.

[–]errbodiesmad 5 points6 points ago

I've been trying to figure out who he looks like! OP was a cool guy today.

[–]polysemous_entelechy[S] 1 point2 points ago

:)

[–]ANAL_QUEEN 10 points11 points ago

In a week Rush Limbaugh will be calling this a conspiracy by the Liberal Drive-by media to question Romney's Character.

[–]yostevo052 4 points5 points ago

My supply master sergeant listens to that guy constantly... for somebody who's not biased to just sit back and listen to that dude, you get a good laugh at the nonsense and crazy thoughts that pass through that dudes show...

[–]Thameus 0 points1 point ago

Too bad Limbaugh can't openly admit how much his show's advertisers undermine his credibility.

[–]FishBonePendant 2 points3 points ago

[–]kudujerky 0 points1 point ago

Risky click.

[–]RichSnitch 0 points1 point ago

Believe me I will forget about this picture in about 5 minutes...until someone reposts it.

[–]korkyshadow 1 point2 points ago

So Mitt Romney does have a good twin...

[–]AetherFlash 0 points1 point ago

It's ok, I don't really see it in the first place.

[–]PhukYew 0 points1 point ago

I can apparently not see what is you would like me to unsee. Little help here, please?

[–]Woody280 0 points1 point ago

In this picture OP is making a joke that Mit Romney looks similar to the gent on the right who is the mayor of "WhoVille" a fictional town in the movie "How the Grinch Stole Christmas".

[–]PhukYew 0 points1 point ago

thanks.

[–]Kulhu 0 points1 point ago

I don't see it.

[–]paracog 0 points1 point ago

Nor do I want to! This is brilliant.

[–]JackDuvallTrides 1 point2 points ago

THERE'S ALWAYS MONEY IN THE BANANA STAND

(everything is always an Arrested Development reference, don't forget it.)

[–]Gravesh 0 points1 point ago

Now that I watched Arrested Development, I see Jeff Tambor everywhere.

[–]congested 0 points1 point ago

does that make obama the grinch?

[–]what_the_crap 1 point2 points ago

It's called the "flash face effect"

[–]spenclikesbikes 0 points1 point ago

How dare you.

[–]alecyo12 0 points1 point ago

Woah...

[–]necromundus 0 points1 point ago

That's what I call a Whovilation

[–]jzzanthapuss 0 points1 point ago

I see him more like this

[–]reneepussman 1 point2 points ago

They don't look that much alike.

[–]chiqadeee 0 points1 point ago

Fabulous!

[–]pauldy -3 points-2 points ago

Oh sure this is funny, but the one of Obama and the chimp, that's racist. :-P

[–]donotquoteme 0 points1 point ago

Are you truly mad that people don't think this is Racist? I know he is a who from whoville and not a human but the mayor is obviously a white guy. Not quite the same level as being compared to a primate.

[–]pauldy 0 points1 point ago

It really is the same thing people that see things in a negative light don't recognize that, but I don't really care just thought it was funny.

[–]polysemous_entelechy[S] 0 points1 point ago

this is... Whoist then? Or what.

[–]gnuworldorder 0 points1 point ago

the left looks more like richard nixon

[–]stereotypeless 0 points1 point ago

LOOOOOOOOOOOOL MITT WHOMNEY

[–]aland323 -1 points0 points ago

What if I told you I could! :O

[–]RIPholly92411 -5 points-4 points ago

Everything else aside, including all his views on issues. This picture, this picture alone would keep me from voting for him. I do not intend on voting for him either way but just this picture could make that deciding vote.

Obama FTW!!!!

[–]Woody280 0 points1 point ago

You would base your presidential vote on a picture on reddit. That's utterly ridiculous.

[–]polysemous_entelechy[S] 0 points1 point ago

I as OP and creator of that picture do not endorse such behavior.

[–]donotquoteme -1 points0 points ago

Made me laugh.. have an upvote.

edit: lol.. someone downvoted me. I wonder if they hate people who laugh or just people who upvote.
