When you don’t know what you are talking about, shut up and read it for yourself, quit listening to haters and your preacher about what we believe. Doing what you are doing makes you look silly.

I must have touched a nerve seeing your childish outburst.

It’s not about “haters” nor is it about a “preacher”. It’s all about secular history and U.S. Supreme Court Decisions.

You don’t know your SECULAR history nor anything about the “religion” of Mormonism. I don’t feel the need to be rude or have tantrums about it - as you seem to require.

Believe whatever you wish!

I’ll continue to acknowledge un-rewritten history and understand what Mormonism IS. You can sling to feelings. I'll stand on objective FACTS about the Mormon "religion" and how polygamy was deemed unconstitutional as determined by the United States Supreme Court. Christians didn't want Mormon polygamy or any other kind of polygamy in their Christian rooted country.

I have long found the hostility towards Mormonism remarkable.Why should I care about a candidate's religion? Specifically, why should I care that Romney is a Mormon?

For the first time during this campaign, I heard a candidate who spoke passionately, coherently, and with conviction about their religious beliefs, their belief in faith, their respect for the faith of others, and clearly and unequivocally and, in some instances, emotionally, answer the questions that I have heard day in and day out about his religion.

His speech was refreshing and, yes, presidential. And it was from the heart, something that is sadly lacking in this campaign of soundbite speechifying and electioneering.

I will also, for the record, mention that I find the rantings of folks decrying Mormonism as somehow defective, and that only their own beliefs are true and correct, to be suspicious, at the very least. And I will qualify that by mentioning that I am Jewish.

I would have no hesitation in voting for Romney if he is the candidate and I, further, have no hesitation in ignoring the stupidity of those foaming at the mouth about his religion.
