Home Run

The mormon faith in its entirety is absolutely one of the most appalling "religions" of our time. Each and every one of you that continue to defend LDS and challenge other individuals to look past an individuals religion while picking a president I ask you..

If Romney was the man he is today (sans his mormon faith) and had each and every quality that you looked for in a president and yet prior to election day it is released that he is a firm believer in satanism...would you not judge him based on his religion?

Disclaimer: I am in NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM comparing mormonism to satanism, I am simply using an extreme example to make a point.

I would say that 99.9% of you would do just that. You have to understand how difficult it is for those of us that have studied your faith to believe in a man's ability to run this country if he truly believes some of the things that LDS teaches. The separation of church in state sounds great in theory however it is impossible to implement in it's entirety. One cannot absolve himself of his beliefs simply because a political decision is at hand. It is in our very nature to make decisions based on what we believe in. Unfortunately, there are direct quotes marrying church and state in The Book of Mormon. The mormon religion will save this nation when the constitution itself finds itself hanging by a thread. That is not verbatim but I'm sure several of you are aware of that quote. I could go on and on about several topics and argue points but I am merely seeking understanding from your side when individuals state that religion does come into play when choosing a candidate.

1. Many people dislike the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Interestingly, the Church that Christ established was regarded to be a sect, and "everywhere it was spoken against" (Acts 28:22.
2.Mormons do believe that God appeared to Joseph Smith. Of course, many will ridicule this belief. However, there is no doubt that diety did appear to Moses and many others in the Bible. Why is this not possible today? In our view, our world needs revelation more than ever. Amos 3:7 states "surely the Lord God will do nothing save he revealeth his secrets to his servants the prophets."
3. Mormons do believe that an apostasy occurred within the early Christian church after Christ died and the apostles were killed and imprisoned. In our view, the Bible states that this would occur. See Amos 8:11, 1 Corinthians 11:18; 2 Tim 1:15; 2 Tim 2:18; 2 Thes 2:3. The book Lost Christianities, written by a non-Mormon Christian scholar, seems to support this view. Martin Luther stated that "Christianity has ceased to exist among those who should have preserved it." John Wesley stated that Christians had lost the gifts of the spirit. Many of the other great reformers made similar comments.
4. The Bible predicted a restoration would take place. See Act 3:21; Isa 11:11; Isa 29:14; Dan 2:44; Matt 17:1; Eph 1:10. Roger Williams also noted that "There is no regularly constituted church on earth, nor any person authorized to administer any church ordinance here; nor can therebe until new apostles are sent by the Great Head of the Church for whose coming I am waiting."
5. Many claim that Mormons are not Christians. They state this for two reasons: we believe God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost are separate beings; and because we believe Jesus has a physical body. We believe God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost are separate beings because Christ taught us to pray to God; because God's voice was heard from heaven when Christ was transfigured (Matt 17:5); because Jesus prayed to God while on the cross, and because Stephen had a vision of God and Jesus standing on his right side (Acts 7:55). We also believe Christ has a resurrected body. He said in Luke 24:39 "Handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have." In our view, if Christ does not have a body, then he was not resurrected. If Christ was not ressurrected, we could not be resurrected either and religion would have no point since there would be no afterlife.

Finally, one of our articles of faith states "We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may."

Hoping that this provides increased understanding and respect for others.

Romney will say anything to win. The only time any of these GOP political hacks "care" about the average middle to lower class citizen is when they are campaigning. If you think Romney really has a plan to bring jobs back to Michigan, then you are definitely taking some great drugs -- please send some my way. All the GOP has to offer is more white, rich elitists telling us that everything is wonderful with us (they wouldn't know an average person if one stood in front of them) and that starting more wars (such as in Iran -- look at every GOP candidates opinion on that!) is the best way to go. All I can say is, GOD save us from Republican before it is too late!!!

Jldean writes"I've heard the same testimony from ex-Mormons who have had to sue to leave the LDS "church". It's a cult started by a proven, admitted con-man.
Yes and I have heard from ex-Mormons that they had a hard time having the horns rempoved from their head.
Your broad brush approach to explain things are amazing.

All of this talk about religion saving the country is BS. All of you religious freaks have poisoned this country with your self-righteous rhetoric and bible thumping. You talk about marraige being between a man and a woman when 50% of you can't even make that work. You disgust me and I am sick of the stranglehold you have on the American dream, so carefully squeezing out of it anyone who doesn't share your twisted sense of right and wrong. You preach that homosexuals are immoral and should be punished for their sins yet you fools are responsible for more murders in recorded history than any other religious group.

Religion is the anti-logic and I am sick of you idiots using politics to spread your filth and oppress anyone who doesn't believe the same as you. You are incapable of reason and thus should be the least qualified group of citizens to vote in an election.

Go die.

Romne was not as you pressters would like to believe on the brink of a failed campaign. He had won or votes and mor delegates prior to Michigan to claim frontrunner status (without the press' negatives). He always told us his strategy was to finish first or second in all the early primary states. Well so farhe has done just that.

Romney has:

1) Won big in Michigan with lots of delegate votes added.
2) Won in Wyoming with delegate votes added.
3) Won second in Iowa with significant delegate votes garnered.
4) Won second in New Hampshire with delegate votes.

McCain and Hucabee:

1) McCain LOST BADLY in Michigan
2) McCain LOST BADLY in Iowa
3) McCain LOST BADLY in Wyoming
4) Huckabee LOST BADLY in Michigan
5) Huckabee LOST BADLY in Wyoming
6) Huckabee LOST BADLY in New Hampshire
Only Romney resonates strongly everywhere in the country!!!

Americans don't want a decent president with morals or a christian. Look what they did to Bush. If America keeps going like its going the same thing happened to Rome will happen in America! If every proclaimed christian voted the way they say they believe we probably would start to get somewhere. I'm glad I'm at a older age and feelsorry for the generations ahead if we last that long. No God No morals, Against fighting for our country, the list can go on. We use to be the # 1 nation in the world not any more. Yes we need a moral figure in the White House. Like Rome we will fall to if we don't change.!

To tell you the TRUTH religion, shouldnt even be an Issue for being a President, America is so diverse and has many more important Isues facing our Country, But anyone who siz we must cange the Constitution should not be running for Presindent in this Country, and doesnt the Bible say thou shall not Kill? STOP the WAR ! FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY= RON PAUL

..and Ron Paul is the crazy one?

The secularists would decimate a Huckabee GOP candidate (the "Christian homophobic Leader") in the general election. Huck is the DNC???s favorite candidate, they have not issued a negative press release on him in 9 months. Mitt is the DNC???s nightmare; the DNC has issued 99 press releases on Mitt. McCain???s the favorite of the Trial Lawyers??? lobby, and advocates for open-borders. Mitt has more Republican votes and delegates than any other candidate.

Mitt Romney has the right qualifications (the only one with non-governmental (Bain, Olympics) leadership experience, a deep-seated faith, a vision for this country's future, and an exemplary personal and family life.

Mitt has the organizational skills to run a campaign in the general election and run the country. Huck, McCain, Hillary or Obama have never even run a lemonade stand. Mitt would appeal to the Independents and some Democrats for his unique qualifications to lead our country.

Mitt Romney is a decent fellow and I believe his steadiness is frustrating people who do not know what else to do, but kick up a lot of dust. The tantrums and tirades posted here are more the reflection of ignorant writers, not the candidate. I do appreciate views on policies, ideas for solutions and our need as a nation to behave more responsibly and with compassion in the world. I hold a lot of respect for Mitt Romney. He represents what I'd like to believe America still values--family, faith, and freedom. John McCain is an honorable man. I like him, but his best years are really behind him and his campaign promises are "no promises". He knows how bleak the nation's situation is and he knows he is just one tired man. He doubts (given the network he has to work with) that he can deliver everything on the nation's wish list, so he doesn't make promises he can't keep. Fair enough. However, I want a candidate who is used to solving challenging problems. Many times in business and the public sector, Mr. Romney sees a grim reality and says with cheerful optimism "Let's try together" and then he brings in everyone for the brain storm and uses every resource, treating people with respect all along the way. He is inclusive and that is why he succeeds. The people most unhappy with Mr. Romney likely chose the comfort of excuse and complacence and probably got nudged out of the roadblock. Like John McCain, Mr. Romney also does not make promises he cannot keep. However, he promises to FIGHT for the economy and the nation's health, education and security. Everyone knows, you cannot win what you will not try! Romney has my vote. On a side note in defence of religious freedom and fault-finding, I have followed the natural disasters that have plagued our world over the last few decades and have been intrigued by the relief that comes without fanfare from this candidate's church. They are always standing ready and always one of the first on the scene to provide relief! All I know is there are a lot of people in the world who have been blessed by their network of competence and caring. It is interesting that their pioneer mascot is the BEE and that many hail from the Beehive State. I'd be interested to know if Jerry Seinfeld isn't subtly campaigning for the man via the BEE MOVIE. Brilliant!
