“Regardless of how Romneys speech went, this is reflecting VERY poorly on evangelicals.” - Hoodlum91
You made a good point. Personally I think Romney did an excellent job yesterday....but evangelicals (the ones who view any faith bu their own a “cult”) will look bad if they continue to shy away from Romney because he is a Mormon.
Also, of course, evangelicals backing the very-liberal Huckabee wont help either
I wouldn’t say that evangelicals view “any faith but their own” as a cult.
There are world religions, and then there are cults. I recently read something that argued the main difference between a religion and a cult, besides time and acceptance, is the ability to leave the group without repercussions.
I don’t think many evangelicals view world religions other than Christianity as cults. But the Church of Latter-Day Saints, yes, many of them would label that a cult.
Uh...
do we have permission to 'back away' from Mormonism because it isn't orthodox Christianity?
