The fact is most americans have no idea that mormons are any different than any other christain sect. The changing of there name has thown people off.
Secularly they are more outwardly moral and upstanding than your average Baptist, which i am.
Mormonism while still a minority christian sect is trying very hard to go mainstream with some success.
The one thing I don’t like about mormonism is I don’t want to feel guilty about having a beer!!
God Bless you!
An ice cold Rolling Rock in the hot summer was my favorit!
I was into Gourmet coffee when at the time I had a nice collection but cheerfully gave it away becasue I could not deny having received a witness by the power of the Holy Spirit.
And my life has been ever so bless.

Heh... Neither do I!
I’ll take some 7-Up. Enjoy your beer!
So, you might be able to offer some insight. A thesis being pushed on this thread is that there is substantial resistance to Romney specifically due to his religion. Baptists are particularly known for their disapproval of the LDS Church, so you might have the “inside scoop,” so to speak.
What is your read? Do you think a large percentage of the religious right would refrain from voting in the next election if the nominee is Romney? Can you quantify it?
Then, as a Baptist, you need to find out MORE about the groups that call themselves "a minority christian sect"!
Then you need to stay out of Baptist services, too, from what I recall of the Baptist churches I attended as a youth. Things may have changed since then, of course. I don’t feel guilty about drinking a beer. I just don’t drink it. I never really liked it in the first place, so it’s been no great sacrifice. Giving up black tea, now, that was hard!
Hm. I had a beer with my guys when they got promoted, sometimes. 1 beer. If I wasn’t driving. Usually, though, I had a Coke. I had a beer with my mother-in-law to celebrate the birth of my first daughter. I think I had, 4, maybe 5, beers, in the four years I lived in Germany. I joined the Church there about 7 months before we left, a year and a half or so after my daughter’s birth.
