Kinda funny considering what you normally post
Not really.
I'll quote Mormon standards & absolutes back to Mormons -- tho I don't believe them or adhere to them.
"Tolerance" is one of the few purported absolutes liberals believe in (I say purported because they don't apply it very evenly & are in fact, quite intolerant of quite a LOT of things!)
So here we have not only NavyCanDo but YOU who, in effect preaches to keep religion out of these discussions...IOW you imposingly preach that others aren't to object to Romney's religious views.
Now that's not my standard -- but apparently it's both yours...
...Driftdiver (post #33: "Plenty of reasons to not like mittens. His religion has nothing to do with any of them.")...
...as well as NavyCanDo: Post #41: ("...plenty of reasons not to choose Romney as your candidate, but making his religion one of them, is small minded at best, bigoted at worse.")
Nothing wrong with holding people to the same standard that they impose upon others, right? (Didn't Jesus say how we judged others, we would be judged?)
If you BOTH don't want somebody vetted on their religious convictions, then stop commenting upon/vetting the religious convictions of FREEPER posters! (I mean, why should anybody treat Romney distinctly from how you consistently comment upon the religious convictions of others?)
So, in light of posts #33 & #41, I directly challenge BOTH of you to head over to this recently posted thread: Santorum Questions Obama’s Christian Values
Here's what I said on post #6 there:
I absolutely CHALLENGE ALL of the FREEPERS who have made comments along the lines of...
..."There's many reasons to oppose Romney but religion isn't one of them"...
...or it's "bigoted" to raise religion in a race for POTUS...
...to come on board this thread & apply their "high-minded lecture" to Santorum here.
If religion is...
...(a) off-limits or uncouth in some way;
...or (b) should be hermetically sealed from what constitutes "character"...
...then go ahead..."religion doesn't matterites" & the self-appointed "bigot patrol" are hereby invited...
...to come onboard this thread & go on the indirect defense of Obama on this thread by...
...attacking Santorum...
...plus lecturing posters to lay off bringing up "Christian values" and whether Obama has them or not.
Go on.
Be consistent (for some of you -- for a change).
Show that you're not a hypocrite after all.
Let's see those single-minded convictions about keeping beliefs & religion out of this race come out re: your even application of them across the board.
What? Few takers? What? You're going to prove yourself to be hypocrites, after all?
