If every other branch of Christianity were to send all of their twenty-somethings out into the world for two years of missionary work, maybe they'd be growing as fast as the Mormons. As I understand it, the families of the missionaries pay their expenses, not the Church. We can all learn from such devotion and sacrifice. Heck, if conservatives would just work two or three nights a week for their favorite campaign or cause, we could take this country back!!

I appreciate your service, however, I don't appreciate your view of Mormonism.

Problem is, America has become apostate, drifting from its Biblical moorings. 30-40 years ago it would have been different. Religious America was once aware of what Mormons believed, not now. Their beliefs are beyond wacky. 30-40 years ago, a Mormon for president would have been unthinkable.

Obviously evangelizing isn't my thing, but for those who practice it, I agree completely.

It has been my privilege to work with Morman management and staff in several different corporate environments.

In every case, they were among (if not) the most honorable, honest and hard working, results-oriented groups of people I have ever worked with.

Based on my personal experience, I would trust a Morman's word beyond any other faith's.

Mitt Romney's religion is NOT an issue with me.
