puhleeze - stop being hysterical.
God obviously puts events in the Bible to show to us mortal humans that people can and do change... that conversion to the good side is possible.
No one is claiming Mitt Romney is God ..... or that he is infallible or superior.
Just that Romney, like Paul in the New Testament, can change from the bad side to the good side.
Does you hatred for Romney run so deep that you will not even acknowledge that he, as a good and decent man, is subject to the same analytical love and emotion as yourself?
Romney’s trip down the road to Damascus occured at an awful late, and convenient, time in his adult life and political career.
What makes more sense is that his support of abotion (including federal funding of it) and the homosexual agenda was a calculated move for his political future in Mass.
And that his “conversion” is a calculated move for his political future in D.C.
Unlike Paul, Mitt has not seen his entire life changed. Only his politics of opportunity.
It's just that as a lifelong Mormon, from a multigenerational family of Mormons, Mitt should have NEVER been other wrong side of the issues to beGIN with!
He was, for God's sake, a BISHOP in the church before he was ever Governor!
How does one grow up with all of the positive influences that the LDS Organization® supposedly provides and NOT know that abortion is wrong?
“God obviously puts events in the Bible to show to us mortal humans that people can and do change... that conversion to the good side is possible.”
It’s possible. I would be willing to consider voting for Flip if he admitted that he’s flip-flopped on a number of issues. AND, if he’s willing to admit he lied about being a life long conservative, that would be good first step. AND, let’s not forget the time he said, while campaigning in Iowa and New Hampshire, that he had been a hunter “pretty much all my life,” only to have to admit later he had seriously hunted on only two occasions. AND, let’s not forget that there was the endorsement Flip claimed on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he received from the National Rifle Association while running for governor of Massachusetts in 2002, when it turned out the group had never endorsed him. Flip’s latest concession is that he only “figuratively” saw his late father, George, march with Martin Luther King Jr., something he claimed in his highly publicized speech about his Mormon faith last month. So, if he’s willing to acknowledge that he lied—and then do what JR suggests...
“As soon as Romney falls down on his knees on national TV in front of God and everyone; and repents and begs for forgiveness for all the innocent young lives that were murdered in the womb on his watch after he ran on the pro-abortion platform, then I will consider it. If the man had any integrity at all, he’d resign and spend the rest of his life and the rest of his money trying to undo some of the wrong he’s done. But not as president. That office is reserved for honest men of the highest character and integrity.”

...I might consider voting for him.
