"What a truly bigoted and narrow minded reason not to vote for someone. Really shameful. I'm not necessarily going to vote for this guy, but to hold someone's religious commitments and service against them is the height of mean-spiritedness. To me it would be like a liberal saying "I won't vote for so-and-so because he was an Iraq War veteran and murdered babies.""
I don't like it when Mormon's come to my door and try to convert me, and I assume that many other people don't as well. It is an inconsiderate form of personal behavior. It may not be as bad as some people of other religions have done (i.e. the "Religion of Peace"), but out of 300,000,000 choices I think I'd prefer someone who hadn't done it.

It is an inconsiderate form of personal behavior.Quick way to end the conversation -- invite the door-knockers in, and say, "I'd be glad to share my testimony with you, but I can't argue religion with you. You have an unfair advantage. I need to tell the truth about what I believe, and you are permitted to lie about what you believe." Some of the Mormon doctrines -- like their god's heavenly harem on the planet Kolob -- are insane. OTOH, every Mormon I know has better character than the god he worships. They don't approve of defiling betrothed virgins, even tho their deity is reputed to have had carnal knowledge of teh preveiousl=virgin Mary to beget Jesus!
