Would you vote for an atheist?

Whether he is an atheist or not would not play into my decision. My vote is based on the person's positions on issues.

Does the truth about God and man matter to you?

Absolutely. But I'd much rather vote for a pro-life atheist than one who claims to be Christian but has no problem killing babies.

Mormonism is worse than a mere cult

Then don't be a Mormon. I'm not one. But I wouldn't refuse to vote for someone merely because they are a Mormon. Anyone who does that is a loon.

As a Christian I believe that government officials are "ministers of God".

Indeed, they are. Read the bible. Even those who opposed Israel were chosen by God to do so. And when they weren't, God lead Israel to wipe them out.

A Mormon President would be a minister of a false god.

Again, God uses the leaders of countries to accomplish His will. (See previous comment.)

If you don't think your vote will be judged by the God who judges "every idle word", think again.

Of course it will be. That's why I vote based on their positions on issues.

False choice because you don't have an atheist vs a Christian, you have an atheist vs a lying atheist.

Anyone who does that is a loon.

Why do you say that? Is theology the only issue that must not be an issue? We don't have a democracy, so you can't vote issues. In a republic you must choose the person and I believe that your evaluation should begin with the person's world-view. If a person comes to the right conclusion for the wrong reasons, you have a situation where the end justifies the means and you cannot count on a consistency of philosophy.

Behold the noble loon!

You know that isn't allowed here! This is the internetand this is a religous discussion! You're only allowed to hold knee-jerk, reactionary views! Get with the program!
