Here are some Famous Mormons who have contributed to our society in so many different ways. As is the case with most bigots, you are uninformed.
Whoever said LDS were "non-contributors" to society? (Of course, many LDS have been and continue to be important contributors to society).
But just because I can point to one talk show journalist-slash-Scientologist whose been a contributor to the media; or a couple of famous-name actors-slash-Scientologists who I could say have been "contributors to the arts," doesn't mean they have the qualities I want in a president.
It just seems like some people can't let go of the fact that the individual voter determines the qualities they are looking for in a candidate. It somehow unnerves them that this factor is "uncontrolable."
Well, we’ll have to disagree. I think you are in a cult that uses you and exerts social pressure to keep you from learning the truth about Mormon history and beliefs. You think people that oppose cults are bigots. But I’m not voting for Romney. My wife’s not voting for Romney. I know people in at least three Christian churches around here that won’t vote for Romney. I know people in churches in both central and North Florida that won’t vote for Romney, because he is a Mormon. And this is Florida, a swing state. You’ve got the churches, the cubans and the good old boys (and girls) here for the most part in the republican party and you can’t win without the bulk of all of them . . . Forget Romney. He can’t win the Presidency. Too much of the base knows what Mormonism is to elect him.
Maybe if you stop lying about your church in missions (saying you don’t believe in multiple gods and the like) to sucker people in, and in your advertising falsely claim to be Christian when you know what people think you mean by that . . . it’s intentionally misleading . . . then reaction won’t be as strong.
