I won't vote for him because he's Mormon.

You label something a cult merely because you've not bothered to look into it for yourself...or someone has told you to think that way. It's awfully convenient to dismiss views that challenge your own as a "cult," including that label which is so often applied to Catholics by some protestant. But that's shameful frankly. I would think in today's America we were beyond such shallow and bigotted thinking.

I guess I can understand not voting for a Muslim because they don't necessarily share our view of the world and would likely change the course of US national security policy such as in the war on terror and our relationship with Israel.

But in nearly every respect Romney is conservative, pro-American and pro-national security, so what do his personal religious beliefs have to do with how he'd govern the nation? Mormons didn't fly airplanes into buildings on 9-11, so really I cannot begin nor do I want to understand your way of "thinking." It's beneath true Christians and beneath thinking people.

You talk about Muslims, but frankly your holding a person's religion against them and viciously labelling them based on religious preference is little different than what radical Muslims do.

Look, I've obviously hit a nerve, and you don't really know what I've studied or haven't studied. Holding Mormonism up to a light for the totality of it including undergarments, becoming god like beings someday on other planets (and I realize I'm picking and choosing things here) and the secretivness of the religion's inner workings - doesn't measure up to the Word of God. And Joseph Smith's version later doesn't hold any more weight than Mohammed's "prophecies"

There are a lot of fine upstanding people in the Mormon church - I hear there are in Islam too. I have the RIGHT to hold candidates up to my beliefs and vote acordingly. THE difference between that and Islam is that I don't want to kill someone who believes differently, I just choose to not vote for him/her.

We accept your cult just like everyone elses....
