From the article: A Romney presidency would have the effect of actively promoting a false religion in the world.
Well, let's address this Q from a parallel angle: Would a Scientologist president have the effect of actively promoting a false religion in the world?...And would Scientologists use that to their advantage?
Pretty easy conclusion on that one: Yup.
Oh, and you think Scientology is a "ways" away from Mormonism? Then you probably haven't seen this thread: Similarities between Mormonism and Scientology [see also posts 1 & 10]
I don’t like Romney, but good grief this is a ridiculous article. I would rather have 1 good Mormon on my side than 100 bad Christians.
I see my comment was deleted.
Jesus asked somebody who called him "good teacher," "why do you call me good."
Jesus wasn't questioning his own goodness; he was questioning this assumption about men coming from the person he interacted with.
Same question goes to you: "Why do you call ANY man 'good'?" What is your standard or presumption that qualifies someone to be "good?"
Who’s a Scientologist?
Romney’s background helps explain his terrible and thorough embracing of liberalism his entire life, and his being a pathological liar, with no true center or self.
He is a thoroughly misguided man assembled from a kit.
I am an Episcopalian but I would probably rather a President take spiritual advice from the head of the LDS church than the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church.
The logical counter to your statment would be: But would you not rather have 1 good Christian than Romney ?
Mind that his POLICIES are more than enough to keep him from the nomination, his belief that he will become a god and father an entire race to worship him as such is not needed for me to vote against him in the primary.
The closest cult POTUS candidate we had to Romney in '08 was Democratic candidate Dennis Kucinich, a New Ager.
The prob is drawing a parallel there is that the New Agers aren't as formally "wound up" and organized as either the Mormons or Scientologists.
So the Scientologists makes for the "best" hypothetical parallel "work thru" for a voter: If a voter says, I could vote for a Scientologist POTUS candidate, then they are being consistent.
Poorly thought out ‘either or’ assertions seem to be the norm for these types of threads.
I’d rather have a Mormon for President than the “so-called” Christian we have now.
Could be an interesting point. Do you know what the advice and teachings of mormonISM is?
I would like to know what you think the differences of what they believe? They are not that far apart.
I would probably rather a President take spiritual advice from the head of the LDS church than the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church.

No you wouldnt
The Episcopal would put the country first
The Mormon MUST put his church and what his mormon “president/prophet” says first
There was a time that the mormons were at war against the United States and celebrated when any POTUS died (ala Islam)
The Episcopal Church has never declared war on the US or mocked a presidents death
None of whom would know the Holy Spirit.
Let's apply that: You'd rather have Romney or Huntsman as POTUS?
What’s the difference between Romney and the current president?
