Are you of the opinion that a Mormon should never be elected President?
Yes, it is my opinion that an indoctrinated Mormon should never be elected as President of the United States of America. Indoctrinated temple Mormons (as Romney is) have experienced years of brainwashing and indoctrination and also have made covenants and oaths that they plainly cannot disobey.
Mitt Romney and all temple Mormons have sworn to obey The Law of Consecrationin the secret temple ceremonies which states "You and each of you covenant and promise before God, angels, and these witnesses at the altar, the you do accept the Law of Consecration as contained in The Doctrine and Covenants (a Mormon book), in that you do consecrate yourselves, your time, talents, an everything with which the Lord has bless you, or with which he may bless you, to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormon Church), for the building up of the Kingdom of God on earth and for the establishment of Zion."
Ex-Mormon Ed Decker reveals the penalty for disobedience that was made by Mitt Romney (and all temple Mormons) at the time he took out his temple endowments: The "execution of the penalty" for disobedience was demonstrated "by placing the thumb under the left ear, the palm of the hand down, and by drawing the thumb quickly across the throat to the right ear, and dropping the hand to the side."

Your words, "What this boils down to is religious bigotry looking for a cloak to dress up as legitimate opposition.", seem to be true of mormons.-> Why do mormons claim the right to follow the dictates of their own conscience, but deny the same to Christians?-> Why do mormons call Christians "bigots" when they follow their conscience?
-> Why do mormons condemn Christians who won't vote for someone who believes in a perversion of all Christians hold sacred?
Perhaps you think that allowing people to follow the dictates of their own conscience means not speaking out when you disagree with them. If that is so, then by that standard YOU don’t believe in allowing others the privilege of worshipping God according to the dictates of their own conscience.
What part of “and allow all men the same privilege” is unclear to you?
It’s got nothing to do with Mitt, there are better people running than him this time.
“Perhaps you think that allowing people to follow the dictates of their own conscience means not speaking out when you disagree with them. If that is so, then by that standard YOU don’t believe in allowing others the privilege of worshipping God according to the dictates of their own conscience.”
Grig,
No. People are free to follow their consciences. All people. Not just mormons. My conscience won’t allow me to consider voting for a member of the false religion of mormonism for the nation’s highest office - or most others. You don’t seem comfortable with extending the right for all to follow their conscience to anyone who won’t vote for someone in your religion without calling them names. I’m just pointing out the hypocrisy of your position and the shallowness of your argument.

This thread is about “An indoctrinated MORMON should never be elected as President”, and we only have two running for POTUS this go round. THAT is what we are discussing here.
Mormons have a track record of devotion to the ideas of the constitution. Paranoid religious bigotry like this would disgust the founding fathers.

Fail, Grig. If the LDS were so devoted to the constitution (written by apostates without the ‘priesthood’, then why did Smith violate the first Amendment? Why did he want to set up a theocracy? Why did they keep practicing polygamy long after they were told to stop by the US gov’t? Why did Young set up a theocracy.
And why are the LDS such bigots against those who use their first amendment rights to speak out against something?
So where any of us ‘antis’ hate Mormons? C’mon if we are ‘bigots’ prove it.
Stop drinking the kool-aid
Can you even provide one real life example of where a Mormon proved themselves to be unfit for responsible positions specifically because of whatever promises they made?

I know a book that gives several.
“When Salt Lake City Calls”.
Perhaps you think that allowing people to follow the dictates of their own conscience means not speaking out when you disagree with them.

We don’t but the LDS do, as evidence by the names we are called by the LDS (liars, bigots, haters). And it is never backed up with proof. It is only based on the fact we speak out against the unbiblical doctrines of Mormonism.
And if the LDS really believed that article of faith, they wouldn’t send out 52,000 missionaries to recruit Christians to their church (primary target). No, and I repeat NO, Christian church goes out and tries to evangelize Christians who attend other churches. That is an LDS and JW thing.
LOL, if I were able to vote in the primaries, it wouldn’t be for either Mormon candidate. Nor am I preventing anybody from living as their conscience dictates, or attempting to suppress them from expressing their views, or trying to get them banned or anything. All I’m doing is expressing my own disagreement with somebody’s views and mis-portrayal of my faith, and you seem to have a real problem with that.
And again, what part of “and allow all men the same privilege” is so hard for you to understand?
Fixed.
PLEASE!!
Post the DIS information so that memories can be scrubbed of it.
We don't want any FALSENESS to associated with MORMONism!
You are right, Grig.
LDS church vs. US Constitution is a false dichotomy.Mormons are fully committed to preserving the liberties that the Constitution enshrines.

Normandy
AMEN!
Your own actions and false accusations prove it for me.
Hill Cumorah: a Lack of ANY MORMON Evidence
Come SEE!

Sure your posts are doing exactly that by calling others bigots or labeling their disagreement as bigotry.
I understand perfectly the tactics mormons use to suppress dissent within the religion and against those who leave it and against everyone who disagrees with them. I’ve seen it here a thousand times. I’ve seen it in your posts.
best,

PS - Reaganaut, in your experience, am I telling the truth here?
Welcome to the MORMON Mindset!
What ELSE would they think of us folks who are Whores of Babylon and Apostate and Abominable???
