What Romney is Facing From Some Evangelical Christians
The American Thinker ^ | 1/10/2012 | Rick Moran

Posted on 01/10/2012 9:29:58 AM PST by Olympiad Fisherman

No one has any idea how common this attitude toward Mormons is on the right or how it will play out in the primary process and, if it works out that way, the general election. It will be partly offset by the enthusiasm of Mormons who make up a sizable voting bloc in some western states. But it will hurt Romney's chances in several southern primary states and could affect a close general election contest.

Most mainstream protestant religions recognize the LDS as a Christian sect. That doesn't seem to matter to Keller who is wont to see Satan in a lot of places, and not just in the Mormon religion.

Earth to the American Thinker.

Very few give a smelly Obama about RINOmeny’s religion.

Very many care about the fact that RINOmney is Obama lite, and as such, he is a vapid dork.

To repeat: RINOmney is a vapid dork.

Of course there are people out there who will focus on Romney’s religion, but the vast majority of those on the right don’t care. They are much more concerned about his being a so-called “moderate” (which actually means liberal with an “R” beside his name).

Romney, like Mormonism, is phony and I won't vote for him.

so, are you saying if the Mitster was a Jew or a muzzie - religious bigotry wouldn’t as big a factor in the South?

I don't even know what that means in any practical sense.

No one has any idea how common this attitude toward Mormons is on the right . . . could affect a close general election contest.

Lots of weasel words with no actual reporting. What they mean is that it's not actually an issue, but they want it to be. It fits their classic meme that republicans are bigots, and they will keep repeating the message until the leftist voters believe it and decide to vote for the failed community organizer, since at least it's better than voting for a nasty and mean-spirited "party of bigots".

The author is trying to legitimize the LDS by saying that.

Here's what Romney is facing from this evangelical Christian:

I will not vote for him under any circumstances. I believe that God wants me to act in a righteous manner and that means not casting my vote for an heretical, anti-freedom liar and cheat regardless of the outcome. BTW, his religion makes a huge difference to me. The LDS church takes the truth of my Savior Jesus Christ and twists it into an insane comic book with Nazi overtones.

I've read the Bible and don't expect things to get any better than they are now for quite a while - just the opposite. However, I've also read the back of the Book and know that Christ wins in the long run. That makes all the difference.

Just wait till the theologically ignorant left learns about Mormon underwear, the planet kolub, and the “mark of Cain/children of Satan” racist LDS history.

GOP is crazy for even thinking about running this man against a half-black president.

Mormonism = Christian sect? No way.

Mormonism = Dangerous cult followed by the ignorant? Yes.

I was waiting to see how long before someone figured that one out. Until very recently (perhaps because of Romney & Beck?), Mormonism was always considered a cult by most Christians and usually tossed in with the JW’s - the Jehovah’s Witnesses. There are many excellent schoarly books decribing the absolute foolishness that is the Mormon faith. Anthony Hoekema’s book written in 1963 is perhaps one of the most authoritative on the subject(http://www.amazon.com/Four-Major-Cults-Christian-Seventh-day/dp/0802804454). It appears that political correctness is becoming religious correctness these days.

You might want to read the other comments on this thread, then clarify yourself.

I agree. The Republican leadership has slammed Christians out of the race, but then they push a Mormon on us. Does this make any sense? It is madness.

Romney’s moderate views are undoubtedly directly related to his Mormon faith. The Mormons have been great at political/religious correctness over the years. They have evolved out of their cultic, polygamous and racist past to become a major force in world religion and in politics as well.

Yep everything is kind of quiet on the cult of Mormonism right now. Mormons even keep the super secret upper echelon satanic rituals (yes, very satanic) from the lower Mormons.

It’s going to be holy mormon undearwear 24X7 as soon as Romney is the nominee.

I do not agree with the author. I just posted it because I wanted to see how people would respond to it.

Keller is right about the Mormon religion, but that doesn't mean that Romney is lying. He probably does believe that he is a Crhistian, which just makes him mistaken, not a liar.

However, just like Obama and his race, there are so many, many reasons to vote against Romney that no one actually has to stoop so low as to attack his religion in order to find one, or a dozen, or more.

The only reason that could possibly justify a vote for Romney is that he is not Obama, and that shouldn't be a factor in the primaries. And if, the the general election there is a reasonable alternative, I have to admit I am thinking and praying over that one. I want neither man as President.
