Without his disclosure of his beliefs makes one question his intentions in office. Some might argue that it is a personal matter but I disagree when it comes to play with the POTUS. I believe it speaks volumns of a persons integrity when these questions are asked.
Mitt is a B/S’er
“Without his disclosure of his beliefs makes one question his intentions in office.”
I know all those words, but for the life of me I can’t figure out what is meant by putting them in that order.
No, it speaks volumes about those, such as yourself, who insist on bringing religious 'belief' and mythology into the public political debate.
I'll make the assumption that you are Christian. Have you asked the Christian candidates to expound on their 'beliefs'? By 'beliefs' you don't mean values, you mean customs, practices, and narratives (sometimes mythologies).
Surely there are huge differences in this realm between even the Christian candidates. Among the Republican candidates, there are three Roman Catholics, three Baptists, one Episcopalian, one Presbyterian, and whatever brand of Christianity Fred subscribes to.
Does Guiliani believe remarrying after a spouse dies is adultery?
Does Tancredo believe in the story of Noah's Ark?
Does Thompson think the 10 commandments were replaced by a new law in the New Testament?
How does McCain believe end time events will transpire?
These are pointless, juvenile questions on their face and in substance.
Will you judge these candidates personal integrity based on the relative distance of their 'beliefs' from yours?
Once you mature in your spiritual life, you'll learn that values are MUCH more important than what you call 'beliefs'.
Or, he could be following the Lord's advice given in Matthew 7:6.
6 ¶ Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Given the comments on this and other threads about Mormonism and Mormons, there's a lot of trampling and rending going on already. The truth of the matter is that no matter how truthfully he answers such questions, his answer will be spun by his opponents to make him and the church look as bad as possible. They will not accept anything he has to say on the matter. So, his incentive to answer is...what? Never mind the fact that the Constitution says that such a requirement is unacceptable. Sorry, he is not going to go along with your little game.
