[Yep, if I believed in your logic, then I guess all of those speaking in tongue Christians should not be president.]
I didn’t say they couldn’t be president, only that they should be open to questioning and able to explain how speaking in tongues would affect their presidency. I think someone giving whole speeches in tongues might be a bit disturbing, I guess you don’t.
Jesus was never Caesar. That is to say, Jesus’ religious beliefs actually disqualified him to be a ruler. So why should you expect Romney to be immune from scrutiny?
Not everyone deserves to be president, no matter how great their resume.
[I guess that leaves, Catholics, ah, wait maybe not.
Unitarians? Ahh, no.
Pentecostals? No, see above.
Southern Bapists? No they were created on the slavery issue.
Who is left? Ah yeah, Liberal Christians!
Only a Liberal Christian can be president because they are grounded!]
And by your criteria, Satanists, Wiccans, Kabbalists, Santerians, Scientologists, Rastafarans, et. al. just get a free pass. Some logic you have.
But certainly you’d expect Methodists to reject Hillary if she was a hypocrite about her religion? Or wouldn’t that count?

I count point to policy problems to all of those scenarios. Mitt on the other is advocation a moral view within the Judeo/Christian worldview/moral-framework. Yes, I believe you can be a “heretic” and strongly hold to that worldview. As we see in this post Mormons rank pretty high in Biblical understanding when compared to other sects. See here -— http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3b408c8e570f.htm
What is interesting is that Charismatics rate the highest on Biblical understanding, but yet said that a Charismatic should be disqualified for office, because of their toungue speaking.
So obviously, you guys are not advocating Biblical understanding for a President’s fitness for office. You are advocating what is popular in the world. Sounds pretty unBiblical to me actually!
