People who won’t vote for someone who doesn’t share their specific religious dogma are intolerant, closed-minded bigots

That's nuts....folks have full right to vote for folks based on religious beliefs...it's a crucible of who we are.

His post strikes me as from someone who is not religious.

To him religion is like a choice in cars or favorite college team.

Religion is fair game. Mitt and Huck are both running on the Pious platform. They both deserve to die by it too, IMHO.....and THEY are the ones who asked us to judge them by their "faith."

That is true, and a fair point made.

Good grief. Now Cynthia Tucker, a flaming liberal, is offhandedly endorsing Mitt Romney. Not a good sign for Mitt.

Why does the MSM make the fact the Bush named Jesus as his favorite philosopher a big deal? What is so earth shattering about that face? I just do not get it.

You just gave a litany of Catholic bashing, sir. It’s impolite to bash what one doesn’t understand.

Please don't misunderstand. I love Catholics, and most all denominations, as Brothers in Christ. I occasionally go to Mass with my friends, even though I feel lost at times during the service.

My point was that I, having been raised a fairly strict Baptist, never understood the tenants of the Roman Catholic Church, and where they came up with some of their traditions.

There was no ill intent at all.

As a youngster in the 50s and 60s, I recall the bickering (for lack of a better word) between many Protestant churches and the Catholic church over many of the things I mentioned.

My point was (is) that if Baptists and Catholics can love and respect each other, why these hate-filled distribes on FR against Mitt Romney for being raised a Mormon.

Right-wing Christians now plague GOP

A pox on both your houses!


This is a famous quote from Romeo and Juliet. As Mercutio dies, he utters this phrase three times, cursing the families whose rivalry led to his death. The phrase is commonly applied to criticize warring factions whose rivalry brings ruin to others.

Most men would rather die, than think. Many do.)

Most men would be their OWN saviour, than reach out to the Only One who is.

I thought we Christians have been perceived as a plague for the GOP for a long time now.

Are we talking about the same Christian conservatives that brought us Jimmy Carter?

Of course not!

Don't you know it was the folks who voted ONLY on his political record that brought him to us!

Saundra, I know the LDS people in Utah. Those that I've spoken with sense a malignant religious intolerance rooted in the Huckabee campaign, and it alarms them greatly. I will predict here right now that if Huckabee and Hillary are the nominees, Utah could go to Hillary. It's a 50-50 proposition.

If it's Huckabee and Obama, Obama will win in a walk if for no other reason than he doesn't give off powerful vibes of religious intolerance like Huckabee does.

Personally I could vote for somebody like Romney who was born into the Mormon faith, but I could not vote for anybody who converted to it after they were 12.

At least you are accurate in identifying that what you have is a personal problem.

My decisions at the voting booth are based on my conservative and christian principals.

When I was in highschool we had a christian principal. He ran off with his secretary. Then we got a principal who had some principles.

Either of you geniuses understand the basic problem with humans such as ourselves living on a Jupiter-sized planet like “Kolob” (original home of the human race in LDS mythology)?

....folks have full right to vote for folks based on religious beliefs

Indeed they do. But that is not to say it is necessarily a wise criterion. Martin Luther was quoted, perhaps apocryphally, to have said he would rather be governed by a wise Turk than a foolish Christian.

To fully appreciate that you have to grasp the Lutheran doctrine of the two kingdoms, a doctrine of which the likes of Huckabee are oblivious.
