I wouldn’t necessarily constrain that to “Christian Conservatives”. ANY Christian who took a good, deep look at the foundations and doctrine of the Mormon church would walk away wondering why this cult is given any creedence whatsoever in the minds of intelligent, thinking people.

Hmmm. Looks like you are one of the type of whom I spoke in # 17.

The amazing thing is that there are people way high up there who buy into all that cult nonsense such as the CEO of Jet Blue and the COO of American Express. And these are (otherwise) reasonable, accomplished people.

I just read Jon Krakauer’s Under the Banner of Heaven. It was eye-opening. I’m having a very hard time believing that Romney can buy into all that without any archaeological data at all. And in the Doctrine and Covenants, it resembles the Hadith of the muslims. All the multiple marrying is also similarly reminiscent thereof, albeit not so much as the way that the founder Joe Smith attempted to convince wife Emma. Entirely too kooky, but I won’t hold it against Romney. My opinion is that of another poster who said that he believes adherents of all religions but Islam to be able to keep their religion out of the way the office.

Most Republicans (including myself) would have NO problem voting for a Jew, even though he or she rejects my Christian belief of redemption and salvation.

Yet those same people are going loopy over Romney's Mormon beliefs, even though the tenants of his religion are approx. 80-percent in common with mainstream Christianity.

It just don't make sense.

Familiar, as in I heard a bunch of lies and garbage stated about the LDS Church and believed it all. Or I saw the fraudulent film "The Godmakers" and swallowed it hook, line, and sinker. Hence, given such so-called "familiarity", comes the desire to label the LDS Church a "cult" and such.
