Trust him or not. . .like his hair - or not; believe there are a great many people who take issue with his Faith.
So. . .they can excite themselves witih a thrice married or twice married or whatever candidate who gives lip service to a Christian Faith. . .talks the talk but does not walk the walk. . .
Or they can choose to vote for a man who in fact; by all demonstration, walks his 'talk'; and who lives by what could only be described as an exemplar of Christian and/or 'family values'.
The irony of choice here; and the angst of analysis amongst Christians is rediculoous and torturous. . .and politically destructive.
I take issue with his faith because well, I know what it is like to be a non-evangelical in Alabama, which is similar to being a non-Mormon in Utah. Granted, I live in a city that is primarily high church, which the largest white denomination being Catholicism, but the flip side of this, is that our area has often found itself on one side, with the rest of the state on the other.
And it’s not as bad here, because the Baptists are divided by race, and white baptists don’t constitute a majority of the population. In Utah, Mormons are something like 70% of the population, and with the exception of the ski resorts and Salt Lake City, it’s the Mormon way or the highway, and the problem is, in Utah, the only way people show their dissatisfaction with Mormon domination is by voting for Democrats, some of them really liberal.
I don’t want this foisted on the rest of the country. Mitt is going to have a more Mormon staff than any other Presidential candidate, just like Clinton had alot of people from Arkansas, Carter from Georgia, Bush from Texas and Reagan from California. And the thing is, because these Mormons will make up the volunteer corps of the campaign, should he become President, they become the patronage workers. Anyone with half of a knowledge of politics understands this point, and this is why there will be such opposition to Romney, because in honesty, no one outside of Utah wants a Mormon run government, because anyone who has been to Utah has seen what that has resulted in. As I recall, they arrested people at the Olympics for drinking.
I also honestly have never liked business trips to Salt Lake City because you can tell who is Mormon, and who is not, and you can tell a difference in the way they operate.
And this whole idea of a Mormon prophecy where one of theirs becomes president just as “America is about to fall”......it’s political suicide. And that’s the way I see it.
Wow! So we have a multiple-choice selection of a multiple-wife candidate vs. a multiple-god candidate like Mitt, eh? (And since the Bible talks about the true church being married to Jesus...see 2 Cor. 11:2; Eph. 5; Rev. 19-21 & other passages...and LDS believe that spouses are forever...I guess Mitt will be two-timing only in the celestial kingdom, eh?...Not this side of the veil)
