Like it or not, he is going to have to address this. Allowing the press to frame the issue is not wise politically.

What is the obsession with one's religion though? Who cares what the guy's religion is? I certainly do not have a religious litmus test.

I don't have a religious litmus test either, but I do worry what the media will do with the Mormon issue. I don't think it's something he can get past with a witticism. If the media decides it will be the single most important thing about his candidacy, then it will be.

The issue is framed by the press, and by bashers everywhere. Here on the F.R. I have read many misinterpretations of the Mormon belief. I know something about it as I have relatives involved in the church. And they are very admirable, regard themselves as Christians, are more family, community and charity oriented than most, and have very high conservative values. They are amongst the best people we know.

"I certainly do not have a religious litmus test."

Sure you do, just a broad one.

I strongly suspect you would not vote for a devout Shia muslim, for example.

Or a Satanist.

Or a Baal (or whomever) worshiper.

Religion tells a lot about a person.
