As for Romney, I start with the understanding that Mormonism is not orthodox, biblical Christianity. If this understanding is true, then the promotion of Mormonism would be to promote a false religion. So the real question is whether supporting a Mormon for president would promote Mormonism. My answer to that is “yes.”

Why don't we just say that we won't vote for Romney because he tried to be as liberal as Ted Kennedy and leave it at that?

Jimmy Carter was a big-time Born Again Christian. Would you vote for Jimmy Carter over a true conservative Mormon?

By that logic, no Catholic voter could ever support a Protestant Presidential candidate and Jews might as well forget about voting in just about all Presidential elections.

If Romney were a good, strong, conservative candidate, I would vote for him in a heartbeat even if he were a Hindu. We are electing a President to run a secular State. We are not electing a Pope or electing your Pastor.

"And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him."

Back in the 1600's, the battle used to be between Our Religion vs. The Other Guy's Religion.

In 2011, the battle is between those who respect religion and those who want to destroy all religious values.

I don’t think Carter is a “born again” Christian.
AFAIK, he was raised Baptist and has remained Baptist.
Once baptised, there is no reason to be “born again” again.

No; it is not.
