I like Franklin Graham, but I am with the pastor on this one. A Christian should never vote for a Mormon. Worldview matters.
Regarding Romney, I don’t LIKE him because of his politics, but I don’t TRUST him because he is Mormon.
I am no supporter of Mormans, and although they are not Christians because they do not believe in the Trinity and their church doctrine is not Biblical, they do have Church teachings that Willard the liberal ignored for the majority of his leftwing life. The Morman CHurch is 100% against homosexual marriage, and we all know what Willard the liberal did in Mass. He supported and gave the state homosexual marriage. He ordered state clerks to issue marriage licenses to homosexuals who wanted to get
“married”. Santorum called him out on it, and told the absolute truth about Willard the liberal and homosexual marriage, and of course Willard said he dind’t know Mass state law and blah, blah, blah. Willard was given a free pass. Santorum or no one else on stage mentioned it again and the Willard the liberal loving media has not mentioned it again. And that includes Faux News.
The Morman Church is also against aborting children, something Willard the liberal believed in the majority of his life and probably still does.
If you ask me Willard the liberal should have been excommunited from his Church for openly mocking his faith for 40 odd years.
From my reply posted earlier today:
I'm about to leave my church where I've been a member, trustee and adult Sunday School teacher for many years. The Pastor (Baptist) who is outspoken politically from the pulpit and whom I've always thought to be "conservative", has stated that if Romney is the nominee, he will vote for him.
After that little message, I thanked him for the warning and let him know that if and when he started pushing Romney from the pulpit, that I'd be church shopping because I'm not going to sit there and listen to him campaign for Romney from the pulpit, where no rebuttals are allowed.
I also am friends with a lot of other members who feel that Romney is the absolute worse choice possible and would never vote for him in the primary or the general. They haven't told me they'd go "church shopping" as I'm committed to doing but I know people will find it sickening to have to listen to that from the pulpit and keep their mouths shut.
So a Christian should only vote for a Christian, a Mormon should only vote for Mormon, a Muslim should only vote for a Muslim, a Buddhist should only vote for a Buddhist, a Hindu should only vote for a Hindu, etc? Do you really think political party's should be organized around religion? Isn't that what we criticize Islamic countries for?
Given a choice, should a Christian vote for a conservative Buddhist or a liberal Christian? Are you saying there is no place in the United States for elected conservatives of other religions besides Christianity - or is all your ire focused only on Mormons?
