Well then it’s good that we are voting for President and not king.
Some of the worst people I have known are Catholics.
I’ve known some really bad Lutherans.
Don’t even get me started on the Assembly crooks I’ve dealt with.
Mitts religion doesn’t concern me in the least. He was elected governor in the same state where Kerry and Kennedy were elected a thousand times. He isn’t a religious fanatic.
I don’t even know where you’re coming from. First you defend Mormonism, then you say we aren’t supposed to look at Romney’s belief in this cult when we make our decision concerning OUR free right to vote for the best candidate.
May I ask what you are doing on FreeRepublic in the first place. You obviously don’t believe in our freedom to choose. And yes, I believe Romney IS a religious fanatic. I know first hand what it takes to be a Mormon member in high standing like Romney.
Oh?
But you JUST said...
I have a problem with ALL religions in some ways.
He isn’t a religious fanatic.

Yeah he is and if you aren’t concerned you don’t know a thing about Mormonism.
There are crooks in all religions, but only Mormonism has it as a result of their institution.
I will take a Catholic over a Mormon any day, at least Catholics believe in the same God.
The Bible shows that true successful leadership in public office is done by those who fear the true Lord & who do not worship false gods/idols. The OT is replete w/ such examples. The Israelites had secular kings, not presidents, but the leadership principles are oft' transferable.
And that doesn't mean that these kings' or tp leaders' ministrations were/are any less a "ministry." Romans 13 makes it clear that public office is also a "ministry." Those who contend against this are openly militating against this Scripture. It doesn't mean that public officeholders administrate in a parochial way; it just means that public office is a "ministry of service" just like the soup kitchen down the street. History (biblical & otherwise) shows that the more pagan or counterfeit god that a leader holds, the more trouble that leader's "exhaust" settles on the people-at-large. Kings & presidents need all the grace, mercy, & guidance possible, since God gets more credit for preserving & directing leaders than we care to give Him credit for. Therefore, one who worships a false god & has no true relationship w/the living God is stifling access to God's resources; & a nation may suffer for that.
