Because Quaker=Pacifist?
Nixon was a Quaker; that didn't stop him from escalating the Vietnam war.
I am rather familiar with both varieties of Christians. More so than any other. I used to go to a Quaker church myself. I have had good friends both Mormon and Quaker, and have Mormon relatives. As a matter of curiosity, both being so different from other Christian faiths, I was wondering what other people know of them.
Rather than any specific religious belief, I am talking about how the morality of the two differing belief systems are. Nothing to do with the spiritual part. Completely society wise.
What are others views of some key differences? I am thinking of one specifically. As people or values go, I would rather associate with either a Quaker or Mormon rather than any other faith I know of. Still, there is a key difference as to why I would vote for a Mormon Commander in Chief, and not Quaker. Anyone know why?

can mormons have 9 wives? and we know the Jazz are good this year
I don't feel a person's personal religious beliefs should have any bearing on their qualification for Office of the President.
but why do you sleep with that undergarment? ^^^
I don't know why my personal sleeping habits are any business of yours.
ameria wants to know or a mormon will never be prez
Why are there so many idiot jokers in threads that are clearly serious?
why are republicans rascist?
nuke 'em
get them before they get you
I would have to say that the le of this thread is a good place to start. You cannot spout such stupidity and then expect the rest of us to take you seriously.
Quakers and Mormons = Stupidity?
Are Mormons considered Christians? Their belief system is prretty different from the rest of the Christian denominations.
Don't know much about the Quakers.
I would NEVER vote for a Mormon for President. Does anybody know why?
They call themselves Christians. Most other Christian faiths don't accept them at face value as such
Considering Mormonism to be a type of Christianity is like considering Christianity to be a form of Judaism.
i'll respectfully disagree with that. It can be argued Mormonism is a cult, we can agree juadiam and christianity are religions.
No.
Why?
When a Mormon is excommunicated they CANNOT go to heaven; their family is doomed to incompleteness for eternity. Therefore, other humans determine your salvation (in your own mind).
btw, for anyone who wants to learn more about mormonism PBS had a really good two part special.

So, what does that have to do with voting for one?
I would consider Mormons to be Christians. I personally don't think any of their beliefs are so different from any other Christian beliefs.
I don't know much about Quakers but I do find Mormonsim to be a fascinating and also important religion in the religious sense. Not so much in the intellectual or logical sense considering no religion is important in that sense.
I have watched that do entary on Mormonism and I learned alot. It was a rather interesting piece of journalism.
For me the most interesting part of that do entary is not so much the way the church is...but the revelations and visions that Joseph Smith had.
I think my point was that Christianity is not a form of Judaism, just as LDS is not a form of Christianity. Whether somebody views LDS as a cult is subjective. I don't know too many well-adjusted cult members, but I do know a fair number of well-adjusted Mormon families.
The Muslim conception of God is considerably closer to Christianity than the Mormon one is. Either you have not really informed yourself about the tenets of Mormonism at all, or you're one of those who basically view all religions as the same.
Do YOU want a President beholden to another flesh-and-blood individual for his eternal salvation?
