She’s a Missouri Synod Lutheran. I don’t know if that has anything to do with it.

I am a Missouri Synod Lutheran PASTOR, and I voted for Romney!

On the one hand (religion), I completely reject Mormonism as the heretical, made-up, false religion it is--it denies the essential doctrines of Christianity, e.g., the person of Christ, the Trinity. On the other hand (politics), that view of their religion does not stop me from voting for a Mormon for President.

The Constitution prohibits a religious test for office. Further, I have not seen one bit of evidence that Governor Mitt Romney--or for that matter, his father, Governor George Romney--ever tried to use his office to establish Mormonism as the state religion.

It probably means Mitt will struggle in Missouri tonight, maybe.

The Missouri Synod is by no means confined to the state of Missouri. Missouri is not even the state where we have the most members (that would be Illinois). But the LCMS is headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri.

She just takes it a step further than you— that a person who would fall for a cult would fall for a lot of other things. It’s like someone wanting to work for you as a senior manager who thinks that pink elephants talk to him. She wouldn’t hire that person.

Fellow Lutheran here too, Wisconsin Synod. Supporting Romney, though very tenatively.
