We live in an age when honest disagreements about docrine are religious bigotry. We live at a time when all that matters is that people act morally, do their best and act like conservatives. We live in an age when what men believe about matters of fundamental truth is secondary. I assume that Romney is a fine man and cannot look into his heart, but if he is truly a committed Mormon he cannot be a christian.

Catholics and Protestants have many important differences, but at least they both agree about the nature of God, the person and work of Christ and the canonicity of the Scriptures.

Huh? Catholics believe in the Apocrapha? They believe Mary is divine on the level of Jesus? You guys are not consistent in your arguments.

Unitarians don’t believe in Jesus Christ’s fullness of divinity. But we had six of them. Lincoln didn’t believe man was deprived but had an equal station in the fate of the country with God. So by you definition, only 36 of the presidents were valid.

In the New Testament it says one Faith, one Church, one baptism. Based on the scriptures, one of you (or both) are not following Jesus to the fullest.

~”We live in an age when honest disagreements about docrine are religious bigotry.”~

I reject that. Disagree with me all you want; and I’ll take liberty to disagree with you.

But when you take the fact that I’m LDS and use it to attribute to me characteristics that disqualify me from worthiness to participate as an equal with you in society, that is religious bigotry. This is precisely what many of the anti-Mormons are doing to Romney.

“I assume that Romney is a fine man and cannot look into his heart, but if he is truly a committed Mormon he cannot be a christian.”

That is an incredibly narrow and parochial point of view. Mormons are not Orthodox Christians - but we are Christians. Only one Being has the right to make the judgment that we are not, and you are not Him.
