Voting for Satan

February 1, 2008 by Mike Parker

Usually FAIR refrains from giving anti-Mormon critics free publicity, but Florida televangelist Bill Keller is so over-the-top that I can’t resist sharing his latest web site:

http://votingforsatan.com/

Last May Keller made headlines claiming, “If you vote for Mitt Romney, you are voting for Satan!” The web site is his follow-up to that statement. (It even lists a “Judas Gallery” of Christians who have sold out to endorse Romney.)

Rarely is anti-Mormonism this much fun, outside of the likes of Ed Decker and Loftes Tryk.

    Beautiful. Do they realize how ridiculous they look with such sensationalism? I just don’t see why people can’t come to us with arguments couched in less ridiculous terms.

    It is amazing to me that attacks against the church can persist when they smack of Hearst-era yellow press.

    Watch him on the O’reily factor.

    I would be more shocked by a “Judas Gallery” of Democrats supporting Romney 0)

    I love the passive-aggressive mother-in-law style disclaimer: “The purpose of this website is to educate the public on the Mormon cult. It is in no way meant to tell people who to, or who not to vote for.”

    Mother-in-law: “Don’t worry about me. You two go out and have fun. Don’t worry. I’ll just sit here alone. By myself. In the dark. Have fun.”

    Keller: “Don’t worry I’m not trying to tell you who not to vote for. A vote for Mitt Romney is a vote for Satan, and America will crash into a firey, burning apocalypse of Road-Warrior-Like proportions. But, no, I have no strong opinions on that. Just thought you’d like to know about Mormonism, but I’m not telling you how to vote. Just, ya know, FYI.”

    Anyone who believes the disclaimer will probably also believe Keller’s schtick.

    Besides, I thought Ann Coulter WAS Satan; I didn’t know she was a mere lacky….

    I have heard voting for Hillary is voting for Satan . . . voting for Romney is voting for Satan . . . and voting for Huckabee is voting for Satan.

    Satan is a popular guy in America.

    I think I was married to his sister once…

    Satan’s not Romney’s…

    Americans United has asked the IRS to investigate Keller for possible violation of federal tax law.

    “Auditing Bill Keller is auditing for Satan. I’m not saying who should or shouldn’t be audited, I’m just wanting to inform people that only Satan would want Bill Keller audited.”

    My inner contrarian wants a “Vote for Satan! (Romney)”
    campaign button. My sober self doesn’t think that’s really such a great idea.

    but it WOULD be funny.

    That was a funny comment, Todd Wood! πŸ™‚

    Why doesn’t Bill Keller loose his tax exempt status for such political nonsense?

    Why doesn’t Bill Keller loose his tax exempt status for such political nonsense?

    Because you have not (yet!) voted for Satan.

    Patience.

    Actually, I can respect Mr. Keller–much more than other anti-Mormons who feign “love” for us. At least he has the courtesy of leaving no doubt where we stand. To him, we are a bunch of demons, and, at the first opportunity, he will kill us, for we are all in a “kill or be killed” war, and we are the enemy.

    I just won’t darken the doorway of his Church any time soon!
