You don’t get it do you? What you know about Mormonism is IRRELEVANT (or should be) to a presidential discussion. NO, I am not Mormon. My parents live in Nevada and come into contact with Mormons regularly. They very heavily recruited my baby sister. She was involved in Intermezzo, which was heavily dominated by Mormons. My parents were very concerned and had real problems with aspects of the faith. They researched it, begged my sister to research it etc. (Eventually, she chose not to become Mormon, but still remains close to her Mormon friends.) But NONE of that has a THING to do with the presidency — unless you can point me to specific aspects of the faith that would impact his presidential duties in a way that negatively impacts me.
You don’t get it do you? Everything about Mormonism affects the lives of individual Mormons including Mitt. I judge his actions based upon my experience with those like him, it does not make me a bigot.
The problem (as I have pointed out previously) is that Mormonism teaches its adherants to withhold information and distort their record. Adherants are often taught not to look too closely at evidence that might not bolster the position of the Church in regards to history or practices. This is a dangerous trait in a President.
The simple fact that Mitt is known as a panderer and flip-flopper highlight the problem with truth and being open and honest that I am talking about. If you can prove to me that Mitt is genuine and doesn’t pander and distort, then I might consider voting for him....
