Mitt Romney is completely unacceptable as a GOP nominee for President...no matter what his religion.

The problem I'm guessing he was referring to would be the one of re-inforcing international perception that the U.S. is a pawn of Israel, not one of predjudice towards jews.

Not according to my wife, who was a Mormon until about ten years ago.

A Jew as President would be a problem for many reasons.

As far as I'm concerned, if I had to suffer through a Democratic administration, I would much prefer Joseph Lieberman over any other potential Democratic candidate.

How much different is Mormonism from mainstream Christianity?

Think of Scientology with a Jesus figure thrown in who is "just like you and I".

The answer - lots.

Would we have "First Ladies"?

Perhaps Orrin Hatch in a dress.

I believe the Bible says in the Old Testament that "He was smitten of God." Maybe Isaish?

I would not vote for him. Not because of him being a Mormon, but because of his policies. What religious Mormon supports abortion anyway?

Also, Massachusetts just passed some stupid law (which Romney says he will support) that basically demands that Catholic Hospitals administer the "morning after pill" to all rape victims. Massachusetts liberal wackos are trying to tell the Catholic Church to compromise their religious and spiritual values. IMHO, big, big problem, which could become national.

It is heinous because it is not true and they claim it is Holy Scripture.

It does not matter if something helps people "lead better lives" if it takes them from true salvation in Christ while claiming to lead them there.

However, I agree that everyone has the choice to go to Hell.

Many evangelicals view Mormonismas a cult.

I have never been able to come up with an objective definition of "cult" other than a religion that a given person doesn't like.

Hell? I was married for two f***ing years. Hell would be like Club Med. - Rev. Sam Kinison (R.I.P.)
