I don't know about the Blog. Is that secret society?

Also, Romney carries a lot of baggage as Governor of Massachusetts. That his to say, he gets saddled with Massachusetts liberalism, even if he doesn't share those positions himself. He told a paper last month that if he knew he were going to run for President, he would have stayed in Michigan. That's true, if he had it have given him a better shot. And it's certainly candid for a politician to admit that. But it left Massachusetts voters scratching their heads, trying to figure out Romney's comment.
Still trying to understand your question... see post 8, and its links.

Ok Got you. Should I read the first or second Blog of Dan.

Why should I?
So, did you get your question answered?
Dan
No
Anyone who believes in the Bible and tries their best to live by It's standards is fine with me. I'm Catholic. The stupidest thing I heard on this thread so far is we "worship saints". We pray to saints at times so they can convey a message to Jesus for us. That's all there is to it. Jesus is the Lord and runs the big show. Saints are recognized for very specific works they have done while on earth. They can only pass along the message to Jesus. They are not Archangels.
Liberals who like Mormons like them only because bigoted evangelicals detest Mormons.
And yet for the most part Mormons are more socially conservative than evangelicals.
And Mormons are arguably more practical and hard-headed on business matters. I have some doubts about Romney's social conservatism, but there is no doubt that Romney as president be more favorable toward business and free enterprise than any other potential Republican candidate currently on the popular short list.
I did.
Weak, insipid, and superficial stuff.
How so?

I think this is what you are talking about.
I was a Cryptographer for 40 years but I can't decode your message. Try sending it in plain text.
Is it that you don't know very much about Biblical Christianity, or about Mormonism? I honestly don't understand what your issue is.

Just trying to understand this statement, however I don't tttthink I'm going to find come to an understanding.
We have our own things that many people have never even thought about, yet people talk about them as though they are experts. They judge using their own yardstick...
Its true with almost anything...
None the less, when I see people yelling about how Christian they are yet in the same breath brutally condemn everyone else it makes me question their proclaimations. In many ways they are no different than many Muslim extremeists.
You and I might read a particular verse of the bible this way or that, but odds are when it comes to the big picture we have a heck of a lot more in common than many of the bible thumpers will admit.
One's actions determine the depth of their conviction. Hating on people is no way to win a convert.
What part of 'love thy neighbor' or 'govern thy tongue' is hard to understand?
I believe one finds Jesus by loving and serving Him and people in a Christlike fashion.
Many of those guys though come across as though one finds Jesus by attending their service and submitting and agreeing with what their preacher says the way things should be.
Try it yourself. Visit a different Church or Synagogue every weekend for a month or two. You are always welcome in every one. There are nice people to meet. You will be surprised that they are conservative and want the same things.
I like the Mission San Fernando because it's old and the priests know what they are talking about because they study a lot.
"None the less, when I see people yelling about how Christian they are yet in the same breath brutally condemn everyone else it makes me question their proclaimations. In many ways they are no different than many Muslim extremeists"
Excuse me, but finding fault with any particular faith is NOT "BRUTALLY CONDEMNING EVERYONE ELSE".
What nonesense and comparing someone's opinion and equating it to Muslim extremists is absolute bull. Get off your PC bully pulpit.
