"... once we get past the primaries, religion will mostly fade as an issue, regardless of the nominee." Very very dangerous purposeful delusional reasoning. You cannot possibly believe that an issue which has generated this much dissonance at this stage of the primaries is going to be left to die by the goon squad of the DNC! If you actually are trying to convince us of that foolishness, you've lost any credibilty you may have had, Tant.

Think about it: if the issue of the strangeness in Mormonism were not a significant issue, why would Romney make a speech about religion trying to prevent open opposition on the grounds of his religion? If the issues are significant enough the DNC will exploit them far more than you've seen so far. IF, on the other hand, the issues of the strangeness in Mormonism are not significant, why the speech to focus upon trying to shame people into not factoring in Romney's religion. Think about it, Mormon.

Well stated.

But, then again, this Mormon has been so great for the Conservative cause.

I can, because I remain convinced that if Romney wins, the bigots will have been put firmly in their place. Any attacks on Romney’s faith in the general will result in backlash, just as the anti-Mormons are helping along Romney’s cause in gaining the vote of reasonable conservatives.

Credibility with you is not an asset I value highly. Frankly, I thought the account had long since run dry.

~”Think about it, Mormon”~

I swear, your spittle shoots farther every day.

The issue of religion is already a club the Democrats are using as a weapon against us. I doubt they will readily give it up.

You were saying — “Think about it: if the issue of the strangeness in Mormonism were not a significant issue, why would Romney make a speech about religion trying to prevent open opposition on the grounds of his religion?”

You know, the “strangeness part” if seen from the “outside” — from someone who doesn’t believe in any religion at all, is probably just as strange from one religion to another. I mean, Christianity seems “not strange”, only because it’s so ingrained into our society. And also, because it has a lot of proof and evidence backing up the Bible as the Word of God. So, we (as Christians) have become accustomed to what others would consider strange. We have seen the proofs and know it is the truth.

Thus, I don’t think of it in terms of “strange” or not. For me, it’s a matter of truth or not. The Bible and the doctrines and teachings of Christianity have the evidences and proofs over the centuries and it has not been proven to be wrong in many things it has spoken about that can be tested and proven.

And talking about Mormonism, it has way too many things that are simply wrong. Take the history of the Americas, for example. There are civilizations spoken about that have absolutely no existence at all in history or any artifacts or cities or anything like that. They are totally missing.

And with Mormonism, it goes against the more verifiable Bible account of things.

So, it’s not a “strangeness” issue with me (in regards to Mormonism), because Christianity can have some fairly strange things in it, too. It’s a “truthfulness” issue and the doctrines and teachings of the Mormon church fail miserably in that regard. The teachings and doctrines of the Mormon church are miserably false.

Why am I going to vote for a guy for President who believes in a cult religion that shows no evidences of the civilizations that it says existed in the Americas and thus — shows that he “falls for false information” like is being taught by the Mormon Church. That’s not the kind of President of the United States that I want — one that cannot sort out *truth* from error...
