I do not define my candidacy by my religion. A person should not be elected because of his faith nor should he be rejected because of his faith. Let me assure you that no authorities of my church, or of any other church for that matter, will ever exert influence on presidential decisions. Their authority is theirs, within the province of church affairs, and it ends where the affairs of the nation begin….

Has anyone suggested that we elect Presidents because of their faith? I don't think so. But that doesn't mean we should ignore a man's faith, either.

A man's beliefs are a direct product of his discernment. If a voter DOES NOT take into consideration a candidate's ability to discern when he may end up making decisions as the most powerful man in the world, the voter is not being true to himself or his country.

Voters have the right, by seeing details of his beliefs, to judge Mitt's beliefs for themselves, and to DISCERN for themselves whether their vote will be affected by this.

Some FReepers would have this information censored on FR. Thanks to JR, it has not been. But there are those who are still calling for censorship.

When Mitt threw his hat into the ring, he involved those beliefs, whether anyone thinks it fair or not. As an example,

A Mormon’s Ultimate Doorbell

This is just a sample of what awaits the Republicans if Mitt is the nominee.
