I will take a mormon like Romney over a christian like Obama or Clinton any day.

Mormons are the least of this country’s worries.

Neither Romney or BHO are Christians. And in fact they are both liberals. (I did mention Clinton because he is not on the ballot)

You could try to say the same thing about any cult. And, since you've commented upon Mormonism as it relates to a potential presidency connection, consider this:

We could say that Scientologists "are the least of this country's worries." Or we could say the same thing about Wicca witches. Or Hare Krishnas. Etc.

Yet, if one of these sects put forth an adherent who became POTUS, then imagine a crisis scenario like one on one of the episodes of the TV program, "24."

Imagine a cultic POTUS praying to their personal god -- NOT THE God of the universe -- for wisdom, counsel, discernment, guidance, direction, and power to intervene.

Such a prayer to a low-level "god" or gods could be ignored by THE God -- because it wasn't directed to Him.

If we somehow think that much of what good or bad happens to a country doesn't have at its roots God's intervention -- or lack of it -- then we diss God's sovereign advocacy exercised on behalf of various countries.

Putting a cultist in the White House -- in this case a man who thinks he's a "god-in-embryo" on his way to full-grown godhood -- is the height of a humanism that has fully turned away from God, Himself.

It's also a step of idolatry -- elevating someone who is attempting to rival God as a god...also not a wise thing to do...re: provoking THE God.
