for Clarification: the RLDS or Community of Christ church are NOT Mormons

[cbdo2007]

Nor do they have anything to do with the Mormons. They broke off from the about 170 years ago and are one of the most liberal Christian churches around.

I am just writing this to clarify in advance for tomorrow when all the Christian/Mormon haters wake up tomorrow and read this news story:

3 Men In Sex Abuse Case Were Lay Ministers: Church Says Accused Men Have Been Suspended

BATES CITY, Mo. -- Just up the road from the search site where investigators are looking for clues in the case of a family caught up in a sex abuse ring is the little Bates City Community Church.

Three of the five men charged in the case were active members of the church, until Wednesday.

Hope, love, joy and peace are messages the Community of Christ church espouses.

2. If they believe in magic underpants, The Book of Mormon and planet Kobol, they're Mormons.

The "No True Scotsman" logical fallacy won't fly.

3. This story is a whole lot nastier than that article makes out

We're talking about rape, sodomy, bestiality, and possible murder of children by a sociopathic patriarch and his 4 twisted sons.
