The Founding Fathers said we should never have a faith test for a presidential candidate. If you are in disagreement, then who else should be on that list? Catholics, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, traditional American Indians, etc?

Actually the Founding Fathers believed there should not be a GOVERNMENT test of religion, many did believe in a personal test.

And it always comes back to the accusation that if we oppose Romney on Mormonism we would oppose other Christian denominations.

In short, Catholics, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, are all Christians, Mormons are not. I will not vote for a non-Christian EVER. That does include Jehovah’s Witnesses, Christian Scientists and Universalists.

There is a lot of good accurate info online about Mormons, again check those sites I listed above. Just because something is online doesn’t make it suspect and jsut because it is hard printed doesn’t make it true. Check out the sites I listed, they are all well sourced and those here like ELSIE, use LDS SOURCES that are found online, or are those suspect too?

This country cannot be turned around by NON-Christians and if you don’t think Mormonism through Romney isn’t running for POTUS you don’t know Mormonism at all.

We are in agreement on what the Founding Fathers stated regarding a faith test. I thought I was clear that I don't understand some of the things that are Mormon doctrine/practice. However, I do know that they believe in Jesus. How then, are they not Christians? "Just because something is online doesn’t make it suspect and just because it is hard printed doesn’t make it true." If it is online, it should not always be taken as truth, just as all hard printed info isn't. Don't you think it is best to scrutinize the sources? If you would like to give me some sources, I will look into them. I'm wary of folks who believe that nothing has changed since 1844. It's like believing that the Reformation in Europe never occured. It's nice to have a civilized, mature discussion with someone. Thanks. Thank you, also, for being truthful in that you don't think anyone except a Christian of an accepted denomination can turn the country around. It's sad that good candidates like a Mohawk/Apache would never garner your vote for Congress. Far better in your view, to have the Democrat. Thanks again. Take care.
