What, may I ask is your definition of “Christian values?”

Would humility and lack of pride be one of the main Christian values? I’m asking because the LDS belief that one can actually “earn” their exaltation instead of relying upon the atonement of Christ, leads to a warping of the humble, contrite attitude of a true Christian, and leads to examples of pride and excessive self-worth. We tend to see this character in Mitt Romney, future God, for example.

This represents either ignorance or lying, neither of which are Christian values.

I am talking about the social values, not dogma.

Abortion. marriage. Homosexuality. The things we are fighting about politically in this country and the things for which Giuliani and Clinton are anathema.If it is dogma for which you must reject a man then I daresay there are no candidates to your liking at all, depending on just which particular sect you represent.
