"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
It comes down to whether one believes that Mormon theology will be running the nation if Mitt is elected. You can bet the Rodham-rodent goon squad will smear the Mormon beliefs to keep Mitt from winning. Will we conservatives allow that to happen?
Can’t disagree with your post!
Aside from the few screwballs that continue plural marriage, Mormon theology is unexceptional, based on no less an authority than Mark Twain (Roughing it).
Really there is not much different between scriptures written by Joseph Smith Jr to mislead Americans and scriptures written by the Assyrians to mislead Jews, scriptures written by drug addled Jews to mislead the Romans, and scriptures written by Arabs to mislead Turks.
So, did I leave anyone out?
What this particular evangelical doesn't cotton to is the fact that Mr. Romney just finished a term as one of the most liberal governors America has ever seen. On his watch gay marriage, an assault weapons ban, and socialized medicine (which includes taxpayer-funded abortions) were all implemented.
Romney appointed more Dems and independents to the bench than Republicans, including radical gay activists.
The Romney administration also pushed gay propaganda in the public schools.
Doesn't sound too "family-friendly" to me.
“Evangelicals might not cotton to Mormon theology but they find plenty to admire about Mormons’ commitment to traditional values and family.”
Agree for sure. I especially have always admired their program of sending their youngsters on a one year Mission of service upon graduating from high school. It’s a great way for their kids to mature some before entering college. I think that the rest of us should pick up on this idea. Of course, back in my youth, we had a Federal Misson program known as the Draft, heh, heh....
what will frighten evangelicals - and rightly so, is that a bright man such as Romney could associate himself with a theology that is so (even at the most cursory glance) full of holes, errant prophechy and un Christian practices which are vieled as "normal".
If he keeps making claims as he did recently about being a lifelong hunter, he will lose his credibility like Al Gore did in 2000. The AP did background research and he has never had a hunting license.
C’mon Mitt; quit trying to re-invent yourself. It didn’t work for Gore and it sure as heck won’t work for a guy who is supposed to have some morals. We have enough liars in Washington.
Romney’s Mormonism is the one thing that might reccommend the man to me. Mormons live family values that most of the rest of us talk about a lot. Unfortunately those values se em not to have informed his policies as Governor.
