I’m a lifelong mormon, but we are a DIVERSE bunch.
What religion could get Glenn Beck, Mitt Romney, Harry Reid, and Orrin Hatch worshipping the same God?
Yet to me, it is evidence that our Faith has held true to its mandate of Freedom. We believe the ultimate principle in the universe is Freedom. Freedom of Thought, Speech, and Faith, and we don’t have religious leaders pounding the pulpit telling us what to think every sunday.
Rather we are taught correct principles and then left to govern ourselves. Some govern unwisely and some govern well, but we all have the freedom to live how we choose without any fear of being run out of the church for so choosing.
If we break the commandments, we are subject to a disciplinary council who decides how our membership is regulated, but we are still free to attend worship services.
I love my faith and I love Glenn Beck!

I am not a Mormon. Was raised Methodist, practice the Catholic faith, and have attended church services of almost all denominations during my adult life.
I do not understand the bias and almost hatred against the Mormon/LDS church. Some stories I have heard about Jim Smith and the founding of the Mormon church seem a little odd. But at it's core if a church follows Christian tenets and teaches/practices moral Christian values isn't that a good thing???
I think we need to quit the in-fighting amongst Christian churches. We have too many enemies without to also have enemies within.
I will never forgive the Huckster for torpedoing Romney. I don't think Romney is a Conservative, but of McCain, Romney, and Huckabee I thought Romney was our best choice regardless of religion.
