Newsweek must be still working on the cover story called A Muslim's Journey, where they delve into Obama's Muslim father, the Muslim school in Indonesia, and the radical political church in Chicago.

Oct. 8, 2007 issue - For Mitt Romney, it all started in a two-story, wood-framed house on a busy street in Pontiac, Mich. Painted beige, encircled by an asphalt lot that would hardly hold a dozen cars, the building manages to look both decrepit and picturesque, like a million other urban churches across the country. Today it houses the Unity Church of Practical Christianity, but until Romney was 10, it was the Mormon church he attended with his family—at least twice a day on Sunday, and one night a week for youth group.
Another presidential candidate, upon learning of a reporter's visit there, might jump on the opportunity to reminisce about the faith of his childhood, to trot out fond stories about his pastor and the inspirational lessons learned at his knee. But not Romney. Seated in a plane between campaign stops near the olive groves of northern California, Romney hears of such a visit and the wattage seeps out of his smile.
"In Pontiac?" he asks.
Yes, the reporter answers.
"Oh, yeah. Wow. I don't know where that is," Romney says.
It's still a church, the reporter says.
"Oh, it is. Oh, interesting."
Full stop. Never has a man so polished looked so uncomfortable....

Unity Church of Practical Christianity ?
Duplicate post.
Mormon ?
Dang, you're right. I searched under Romney and Journey, but not Mitt's Mission. Different headline on the cover than on the inside.
“Unity Church of Practical Christianity, but until Romney was 10, it was the Mormon church he attended with his family.”
They can rename it as many times as they want but Mormonism is not Christian under ANY label. They’re just trying to distract you AWAY from that ugly little fact.
Unity Church of Practical Christianity ?
Mormon ?
See how it works?
You don’t associate THAT label with being a Mormon which is NOT Christian.

The building was sold, it was a Mormon Church, then it was sold to the Unity Church of Practical Christianity. Probably because the Mormons needed a bigger building.
Do you have the same hatred for Jews, which are "NOT Christian", as you say.
Do you also hate Jehovah's Witnesses, which many consider "NOT Christian."?
Or Japanese non-sectarian monks?
Ironically, it wasn't too long ago that fundamental Baptists thought Catholics were "NOT Christian".
Bottom line: I'd rather support a Mormon (Romney) with the same values as myself than a back-slidden Christian with NONE of my values.
