See, there’s that nasty freedom of religion / freedom of assembly thingy again. You are free but no one else is free. But you see, other people think your views are cult-like too. Doesn’t freedom apply to everyone or does it only apply to you and your creed?

God how I hate how we have a guy in the White House because you refused to vote for Romney over McCain. All because your intolerance blinded you. How is a Mormon any different than Presidents that were unitarian (John Adams), Quaker (Nixon), Deist-gnostic (Jefferson), Catholic (Kennedy), Non-sectarian (Lincoln and Reagan), or Episcopalian (Bush 41)? You really think Romney was going to have 5 wives and forcably convert you?

That and the magic underwear killed it for him.

I will not be governed by a man who wears magic underwear.

I don’t like Romney because he’s a liberal.

How I hate that we have an Obamanation of desolation in the Whitehouse because you voted for the fake conservative Romney / McCain over Huckabee.

However, I hope we can all unite behind Sara Palin in the future.

I support Beck's freedom of religion as well as yours. Saying that I believe a particular religion to be a cult is not to say people shouldn't have the freedom to practice it. I couldn't care less if someone thinks my belief is cultish. Suggesting that because I believe some religions are cults, that is somehow the same thing as suggesting they should not have the freedom to practice their faiths is completely dishonest and putting words into my mouth.

My belief about Mormonism is that it is an authoritarian cult that controls the lives of it's adherents. It is a very weird faith obvious built on the lies of a violent scoundrel, Joseph Smith. Those who accept it don't have the religious rigor to question it's precepts, but they are very willing to accept the worldly benefits it offers. As much as I dislike McCain, I would choose him any day over Romney the grinning game show host.

Your desciption of Reagan and Lincoln is dishonest. They both openly spoke the name of Jesus as Savior. Most of the others (Nixon, Kennedy) did not live or govern within the denominational strictures imposed by their faiths.

I hope you respect my freedom of speech as I express my beliefs. It sounds like you don't.
