I worry far less about Romney’s Mormonism than I do about Obama’s “religion” what ever it might be. We know he spent 20 years listening to Rev. Wright’s racist, Marxist and anti-American vitriol and clearly has an affinity for Islam that will have him siding with Muslim causes even if they are threats to this country.
The truth claims of mormonism are so easily refuted by science, archeology and history that all adherents are unworthy of public office simply for being so gullible, stupid, deceitful, or incurious.
This is not so for traditional Christianity.
(Yeah I know...plenty of FREEPERS would vote for a reincarnated Hitler if he was running vs. the ultimate socialist...the Anti-Christ with a (D) next to his name...)
So much for conservative conviction...
...or even having a conscience...
...voting for somebody solidly more liberal than the Democrats ran in the 1960s!
Before you dismiss mormonism, it is important to know what it actually is. Romney is who he is because of his mormomnism not in spite of it.
To understand mormonism is to understand what motives Romney, it is his core.
Felt the same way until a friend of the family got very upset about Romney possible winning. She had been a Mormon. Since then I found Tricia Erickson’s CAN MITT ROMNEY SERVE TWO MASTERS?
Her credentials and the first two chapters of the book can be read at Amazon for free. You will sertainly have more to think about if you take the time to read it.
"And they came for the Catholics...and they came for the Jews.. "
Gets old doesn't it? I agree with your comment.
There is a book by Steve Martini [thriller/fiction/faction] The Rule of Nine that talks about the Old Weatherman--
"he had suffered through years of regret for one senseless act of violence in his youth, the bombing of the bank that had accidentally cost a human life. ---[his plot to bomb NYC/Washington]--it was the cover that the Old Weatherman needed not for himself but for the president who knew nothing but who would now have a free hand to fill all nine positions on the SCOTUS. Decapitate the executive branch and the effect would be short term-but only til the next election.This was true of Congress as well. The present corrupt system of money and politics of a Washington aristocracy utterly out of touch with the people they ruled-the fiction of a resprentative republic that now longer existed was far too resilient to bring down in this way, and the Old Weatherman knew this. But there was one part of the government for which this was not true--the Supreme Court because of the life time tenure conferred on members of the high court and the fact that these nine justices held the final word on most if not all of the social and economic controversies confronting the country it was the one controlling pressure point that could alter the long term direction of America-Franklin Roosevelt had realized this during the dark days of the Depression when he contemplated packing the court with additional members all of his own choosing---The court had been divided for years. Most of the controversial decisions depended for their legitimacy on razor-think five-to-four votes with too many of the decisions going the wrong way. In the eyes of the Old Weatherman the national economy was dictated by five members of the Fed none of whom were elected by anyone with political and social policy determined not by the rule of nine buy by a tyranny of one, a single deciding swing vote on the Supreme Court..."Excerpt Pg 361 The Rule of Nine.
And people worry over Romney being a Mormon.
Brigham Young - If you find your brother in bed with your wife, and you put a javelin through them both, you would be justified and they would atoned for their sins and be received into the kingdom of God. ... "There is not a man or woman, who violates the covenants made with their God, that will not be required to pay the debt. The blood of Christ will never wipe that out, your own blood must atone for it;" Journal of Discourses, vol. 3, p. 247 (1856)
Brigham Young - "If you want to know what to do with a thief that you may find stealing, I say kill him on the spot, and never suffer him to commit another iniquity." Journal of Discourses, vol. 1, p. 108 (1853)
Brigham Young - "There are sins that men commit for which they cannot receive forgiveness in this world, or in that which is to come, and if they had their eyes open to see their true condition, they would be perfectly willing to have their blood spilt upon the ground ... I know, when you hear my brethren telling about cutting people off from the earth, that you consider it is strong doctrine; but it is to save them not destroy them. ... I know that there are transgressors, who, if they knew themselves, and the only condition upon which they can obtain forgiveness, would beg of their brethren to shed their blood" Journal of Discourses, vol. 4, p. 53 (1856)
