If you don’t fit, neither do I. I’m not Mormon. I’m lifelong Lutheran. But I spent 4 years in Salt Lake City dealing with Mormon influence and know this. Their religion rules most aspects of their lives, it’s antithetical to my beliefs. But that should not be an issue when it comes to the national stage. It shouldn’t for Lutherans, Catholics, Jews. Our nation, the Constitution we hold dear, allows freedom of religion. If we on FR don’t acknowledge that same tenet here, we don’t deserve to exist. It’s part of the essence of the Constitution we claim to honor.
I’ve had my problems with Mormonism, but that has to be put behind me when it comes to this candidate and his religion. We’re at the point where in the next few months we will continue to be a union or we will soon lose our freedom. Anyone holding opposition to Mormonism over national sovereignty is wrong. Flat our wrong, if that opposition is more important than our vote in November.
We have a choice. We’d best think long and hard about what our decision will be. This is NOT the 2008 election redux.
Please see my post #522. It was meant for you as well as SE Mom, and I thought I’d included you in the “To:” section. I hadn’t. I apologize for the error.
Posters on Free Republic discussing the history and theology of Mormonism, even outright rejecting it as a religious ideology, is not violating freedom of religion. That IS freedom of religion. Geesh.
Freepers who reject Mittens are doing so because he’s a leftist - socially and economically. The Mormon excuse is pitiful. He is a man who used his power to promote socialized medicine, baby killing, gun control, and homosex social and legal dominance.
Before Mittens got the nomination, I did not see any conservative on here promoting any of that!
