Sorry, I’m just not into judging other folks’ religious beliefs.

I’m glad you are morally superior and able to do so.

I do know that Rafael Cruz, like so many of his generation, are ardently anti-Communist and love this country. And I say that’s fantastic.

That is said, but I have read that anti-Castro fighters in Cuba did not remember Rafael Cruz, and he may have left Cuba for another reason, a crime committed. I read this fairly recently. IMHO the reason why Cruz Sr left Cuba needs to be researched and proven, it is not really known at this time. Claims without any proof are not trustworthy.

Raphael was not a courageous freedom fighter http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/10/us/politics/cuban-peers-dispute-ted-cruzs-fathers-story-of-fighting-for-castro.html?_r=0

I think not judging religious beliefs can go too far. When someone says they can kill me, lie to me, rape me because their religion supports that behavior to infidels I judge that as wrong. When someone tells people in the name of their religion that they are entitled to seize money and wealth they didn’t accumulate from those that did & distribute it to the faithful that is against the laws of this country.

Again I get to judge that taking from the rich and distributing to your congregation is not OK.

That was not a judgment of religious beliefs, it’s a statement of fact: Rafael Cruz, father of Ted Cruz, is a preacher of the doctrine of dominionism, which holds that Christians should take over the government...

And you said that, “I do know that Rafael Cruz, like so many of his generation, are ardently anti-Communist”

Fantastic, eh? You obviously did not realize that Rafael was a loyal pledge and admitted Communist supporter of Fidel Castro in Cuba. Years later, Rafael nicknames his son ‘Felito,’ as in lil Fidel.

Over a period of nearly fifty years, Rafael Cruz got a college education in America, worked in America, married two American women, and fathered two children in America. He did all of that before becoming an American citizen. His timing of acquiring citizenship coincides with Ted’s rise in politics.

He was a Communist and was imprisoned in Cuba for supporting Castro.
