So what if Romney believes in elves and fairies?

(Yeah, that's who we want as THE leader in the free world...)

The point is that he believes in the good elves and fairies

The point is that Romney believes he is NOW a "god in embryo"...The point is that the one thing the God of the Bible railed against over & over among His people was idolatry -- the raising up of false gods as substitutes for Him.

The point is that the God of the Bible is readily provoked over His people who endorse and sanction men who make themselves out to be competing, rival gods of His.

The point is that the God of the Old Testament allowed His people to be taken into exile (Babylon) for that sin...especially when it was sanctioned by their kings!

The point is that this same God is still the Sovereign of nations, and He still can exercise temporal judgment upon people groups and nations.

Again?!? So what? He doesn’t believe what you do.....

Is he of sound moral character? Appears to be....

Does he exercise good sound judgement? Yep

You have a beef with the Morman religion, I and most others don’t care.

Go peddle your wares to the DU forum.....

I get that. It is part of the absurdity that exemplifies Mormon theology. But Obama, the ultimate exemplar of the spirit of this age believes he is already God, a god, or part of god.

At least in the Mormon hierarchy (as several LDS friends have explained to me), Mitt would, if his belief were true, never be greater than God the Father. However, Obama appears to believe he is already capable of supplanting and surpassing any god.

Ms. Erickson is free to vote for the candidate of her choice. So am I. I would rather vote for someone whose theology is confused than someone who holds a visceral dislike for all things American and who, untethered by electoral accountability in a second term, will continue to pro-actively seek the destruction of the Republic from the office of the most powerful political position in the world.

Both men's leadership will require the balancing presence of a Congress with a backbone and that is where the real issue of the future is to be decided.

Then why has he allowed the Church of Latter-Day Saints to survive and thrive?

I'm a Catholic, and I'm pretty confident your sources also have a long, wordy discourse on why I'm going to Hell because of my faith. But, I'm supporting Mitt Romney whole-heartedly, as are millions of other conservatives and right-thinking Democrats.

When it comes to rendering judgement on the faith of others, I just remember that Christ told me to take the plank out of my own eye before I start to worry about the specks in the eyes of others. Maybe you should try that.

Don't know how old you are, but this has been done before by hateful people....Kennedy and his being a Catholic had people like you out there trying to turn your religion against catholics to be turned into not voting for him...we who have lived long enough find nothing new in your operations in politics. We don't have religious rules in the run for president...I will take Romney and Mormon over Marxist/Muslim any day of the week..Romneys religion doesn't dictate that I accept it or they will cut off my head and don't want my grandchilden living under muslim rule and the destruction of this country and the few freedoms we still have.. One thing we know about Romney is that he doesn't hate this country, and my head is safely on my body. You should come right out and say you want Obama to win.
