OK, when was the last time you saw members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints shouting "JOSEPH SMITH AKHBAR!" and detonating a bomb vest?
Or, for that matter, a Scientologist shouting "L. RON HUBBARD AKHBAR!" and flying an airplane into a building?
I'm the sort who judges people by their conduct, not by what building they worship in.
The Shiite Muslim might be a problem, but you'd have to define "devout," because if you think FR is a fractious flame-flinging lot over who is and isn't a RINO, Islam is getting that way over who is and isn't a MINO, and those disputes tend to get lethal.
You're missing the point --- the fact of the theological dispute is real --- I have no interest in the merits of the same, any more than I want to figure out how many angels dance on the head of a pin.
Groups as widespread as the Methodists and the Roman Catholics don't consider Mormons Christians.
This belief --- for right or wrong --- will be a real detriment in any election.
Period.
Oh c'mon. That's just plain silly. A Scientologist would use an alien space ship. Sheesh.
