If Romney would keep it at, "I'm a Mormon, and my faith is none of your business", then he's on solid ground, and he can win my vote.

But he and his supporters keep pushing it to, "I'm a Mormon, which is a type of Christianity, and my faith is none of your business". This is a deal-breaker for millions of people.

Members of the LDS really need to get it through their heads - the vast majority of Christians in America are happy having them as friends, neighbors, and political allies, but we do NOT believe that they are Christians, and we are obligated to tell them so.

And if the LDS as an organization keeps trying to use Romney's candidacy to blur the line between Christianity and Mormonism, there is going to be a backlash.

Well said.

"I'm a Mormon, and my faith is none of your business."

"I'm a Mormon, which is a type of Christianity, and my faith is none of your business."

I see no difference between those two sentences at all.

That’s just it. The nuance is subtle, and Romney is beating it like it is a dead horse.

For some reason, Romney thinks he must say that he is a Christian. Why, I do not understand.

I mean, we know Joe Lieberman is Jewish. Does he run around saying, “Hi, I’m Joe, and by the way, I’m a Jew.”?

NO! It is a ridiculous statement for him to make.

So, when Romney keeps throwing the Christian phrase behind him saying he is Mormon, he is virtually ASKING for comparison.

Just who are you to decide who is or isn’t a Christian are you God?

You all insist on calling us Mormons after a Book but I am really LDS the restored Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

2 Ne. 25:
26 And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins.

I have to agree with you. I do not consider Mormans to be Christians, but as long as they are good neighbors all is well. To each his own.

I haven't sen where his supporters are saying the latter. I've been on the tour in SLC and the "guide" says this because they follow both the Old and new testaments. If YOU have a problem then you are certainly free to vote based on that and the candidates have a right to run on that if that is their belief.

I think this is the issue. I would have a problem with a candidate who is radical Islam and have no problem saying that. As far as I can see no candidate is saying that they can't condone a Mormon publically.

If someone has a religious litmus test then just state it.
