It is BAD to attempt to paint Mitt into a theological conundrum when he has never been accused of religious intolerance, only implied blasphemies about which are of things that can only be matters of faith.

You are attempting to change another man’s faith by coercion. The implied threat - conform to my religious world view, or never aspire to high office.

His beliefs, and the condition of his immortal soul are both a matter for the mercy seat, not religious gate keepers of other faiths.

You speculate that he may someday engage in religious intolerance, yet you have no capacity to judge such a predicate in your argument.

If Mitt Romney fell to his knees and begged forgiveness for the teachings that he received in the Mormon Church from the inheritance of his Father, critics would dance and sing, about how Mitt has committed another flip-flop.

Thank you for removing that last offensive post. I believe that it is appropriate for more than the usual Anti-mormon posts, given the topic. However, could you please give me some guidelines as to how much the charge of blasphemy is permissable in a thread about Mitt Romney which is not topically about LDS? None of us are perfect, and I confess some of my replies are over the top.
