There are lots of Mormons who do lots of secular jobs just fine. They are upstanding citizens. Their religious views on Christ and the Trinity may be wacky, and they may be going to hell, and I sure wouldn't want them teaching as much as a Sunday School class, but they can handle a secular job just fine.
Also, I have seen no evidence that Gov. Romney used his office as governor to advance Mormon religious distinctives, and that would the case for his multi-term governor father, also--indeed, for most all Mormon political office-holders.
Well stated, Charles, though it will fall on deaf ears.
Do you want TESTIMONIES from EX-mormons about the effect?
And you are not dealing with the central point, which is, demonstrating how Romney's religious beliefs will interfere with the performance of his duties in a secular job.
Wrong assumption.
We are 'demonstrating' what things his 'church' teaches and what beliefs this man claims.
Do YOU want to vote for the guy; caring ONLY for the SECULAR things or do you want to factor in ETERNAL things?
This may very well be true; but there ARE a lot of folks whose eyes have been opened to the things of MORMONism, and have expressed thanks and gratitude to us Flying Inmen for posting them.
Go ahead and worry about the secular job Mitt would do, compared to Barak.
I, and others, will attempt to spread some TRUTH to a world that is DYING for the lack of it.
John 3:9-11
“How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.
“You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things?
Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony.
