I don’t dislike Obama because of his Muslim upbringing, it is one thing that gives me pause...

So Islam apparently "gives" you "pause," and that's "a-Ok" to effect an eval of a POTUS candidate; but not Mormonism...

And that's not religious "bigotry."

Yeah. We get these finest-line distinctions.

NOT.

[also...we note you don't go on the Obama threads accusing anybody of bringing up his Muslim ties of engaging in religious "bigotry..." (that's what I meant by your lopsided aps here)]

There you go again, putting words in my mouth.

Just because Islam gives me pause doesn’t mean I don’t give any consideration to Mormon beliefs.

And of course, when the next Mormon hijacks a plane, kills folks at an army base, gets on a plane with exploding holy underwear, takes down a couple of skyscrapers and kills some 3000 people, or ignites a holy war somewhere in the world in the name of Joseph Smith, all while shouting “Brigham Young and all of his wives!” or “Yahoo Maroni!” - THEN Mormonism will give me the same pause that Islam gives me today.

Just so you know (I’ll save you the question) - I peel an orange differently than I do an apple.
