Yes, I read that. It was respectful, but I respectfully disagree.

I see.

There were a few thing he said that I found to be very...         direct.

For example:

I wouldn’t vote for a Mormon who sidesteps or otherwise obscures what the Mormon Church believes — especially as it differs from mainline Christianity—or who suggests that his unique religious belief would in no way affect his action.

...

Mitt Romney did not have the courage or wisdom to say what he, as a Mormon, actually believes — all of it, without pretending his creed is no different than the Christian creed.

...

he pretended he wasn’t Mormon, or that being Mormon was so strange it is in his interest to keep it secret. In this speech about Mormonism, he uttered the word “Mormon” just once, while saying “Jews” and “Muslims” two times each and “Catholic” three times.

He even said:

In the spirit of full disclosure, he [Romney] would then have had to explain that Mormons believe Jesus was a "spirit brother" of Lucifer.

Is it hurtful, disgusting or unkind of me to quote those words in these threads?

A lot more damage has been done to civilization by christians in history. Did you ever read any of the great essays of Bertrand Russel, on “Why he wasn’t a christian”
