“Same here. Funny thing is that people who were calling Romney a cultist or magical underwear worshiper 6 months ago are now calling anyone who doesn’t support Romney, a bigot.”

Now this, I’ve got to say, is a classic straw man argument. As a Bible-believing Christian, I have struggled with Romney’s Mormonism and I still believe he is a member of a cult. But I have made peace with the idea of voting for him as POTUS as the alternative for our country is horrifying.

But I don’t know one person (nor do I KNOW OF anyone) who was once accusing Romney of belonging to a cult and is now accusing people not supporting him of being a ‘bigot.’ Maybe they’re out there, but that’s a new one on me.

I respect someone not supporting him based on liberal policies and I respect people being reluctant for vote for him if they believe (like me) that Mormonism is a cult. I would just appeal to them (as I have to many in my church) that there is no other person on the planet that can get rid of ZERO except Romney.

So unless we are comfortable with 4 more years of this and where the country is headed under this present leadership, then it is our duty to vote for the only viable alternative — regardless of his many faults.

Tell that to the people who call me a bigot when I'm not the one who has ever had any issues with Mormons. Besides, I'm not telling people they should or shouldn't vote for Romney, I'm only saying they should be honest about it and what they're getting.
