I wonder if all those christian fundamentalist voting for Romney realize they are voting

for someone they consider not to be a christian? It's something their hatred of Obama overrides

I just wonder if Romney was Muslim would they feel the same?

2 Catholics for VP, and a Mormon and a Muslim for president ( of course).

Mr. Retrograde was raised to believe Catholics were not Christians, and I was raised to believe Protestants were not Christians. We have an multi-decade argument going on about divine intrinsic efficacy and apostolic succession, which has nothing to do with really much of anything.

Billy Graham's website formerly included information about the cult of Mormonism. That has been scrubbed, and now we find:


Can An Evangelical Christian Vote for a Mormon?



October 22, 2012 - "I pray that all Christians and God-fearing Americans will put aside labels and vote for principles—God’s principles—that for many years have resulted in His blessing upon our nation," says Franklin Graham.

Now it's all about how that un-Christian Israel-hating muslim-loving Obama must be defeated.

And how Romney is the great white hope.

SALM is publicly traded by the way.

being a Christian that turns them on to voting for him. It is simply the fact that he is the closest thing they have going for them in order to take this country back to the 1950's which they worship and believe in. I know because my parents are Independent Fundamentalist Baptist and try to force this line of thinking on me all the time and why they told me they are voting for Rmoney.

They are voting for the ideology mostly, though one wonders what Romney really believes in most of the time.

people.

all of romney's "charity" and "donations" and "communitiy leadership" are involved with his church.
he does not consider non-mormons worthy of his charity. PERIOD.

I'm an ex-mormon and I know Romney's type. Harry Reid is not that type at all. Reid is the type of
mormon who practices his faith privately and does not carry the "holier than though" typical mormon
attitude around with him in his daily life. Reid respects all people of all faiths and backgrounds, which
tells me that Reid isn't sucked in completely by the cultish aspects of his religion. I'd be surprised if
he has participated in temple ceremonies other than possibly his marriage.

Look up "veil temple worker" on youtube and you will get an education on the crazy cult sh*t mormons do in secret temple ceremonies.
