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?

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".

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.

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.

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.

Author is basically uninformed as to Mormonism and basically attempts to make the jump that only the knuckle-dragging imbeciles in snake handling churches are those who might object to Mitt's faith.

That being said, however, most Christians that I have spoken with more object to a man who embraced abortion, gay marriage, and other socially unaccepted stances for a "conservative" candidate. Of course, once Mitt determined that becoming President should be his next career move, disavowed his pro-abortion, pro-gay rights stances.

We definitely believe in epiphanies but Romney's is just too coincidental to accept.

“Most mainstream protestant religions recognize the LDS as a Christian sect.”

Rick:
You are a liar! No serious Christian organizations recognize LDS as a Christian Sect.

Not the Catholics.
Not the Baptists.
Not the Lutherans.
Not the Methodists.

That right there constitutes 90% of Christians in the USA.

Who in the Hell are you talking about?

BTW, the guy’s religion isn’t the issue. It’s his vapid response to any issue and inability to decide who he is at his core, as a man.

No, Romney’s problemo is he is either an Oklahoma Weathervane on any issue or as Ted Kennedy eloquently put it “Multiple Choice”.

If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works.
2 John 1:10-11

So we are forbidden to even greet Romney, but we can vote for him to make him our President?

Really?

I put to you that any Christian leader that says it’s ok for other Christians to support Romney, in his present condition, is a heretic and should be soundly condemned.

This astounding claim is without foundation. It is true that the more "liberal" denominations are more "accepting" of deviant theological beliefs. However, I know of no denomination which has formally accepted the LDS as a legitimate Christian church.

Mormonism has a long history of antipathy towards Christian churches and denominations, which have been called "an abomination" by Mormon founders. One can therefore understand the concerns of those who are suspicious regarding the "makeover" that the LDS church has been undergoing in the press and Mormon PR.

"Most mainstream protestant religions recognize the LDS as a Christian sect."

The author can only be referring here to the liberal wing of the old confessional denominations which are neither "mainstream" nor a "majority" of Protestants.
