Very well. I see your point. YOU obviously know Mormons who live lives of deceit, dishonesty and debauchery. You probably know hundreds of Mormons who cheat on their wives, and live in opposition to their church’s teachings.
As for me... I know of thousands of CATHOLICS who live in opposition to papal theocracies as they support abortion and live like Kennedy’s - but nope... Don’t know of any Mormons who do.
But that’s just me.
So. If the time came for me to vote for a man who I could not trust politically AND religiously verses a man who I could not trust politically but COULD trust religiously; then the answer is simple.
That said... I still hope I do not have to vote for Mitt the politician.
Your effort to use faulty logic and absurd hyperbole to support your assertion that Milt’s MormonISM would be a plus in your mind is duly noted. And just for the record, yes I do know a few Mormons, and yes one or two live lives not aligned to the supposed morality of mormonism. But trying to be good to earn salvation is after all a hallmark of MormonISM. Perhaps the smoking and beer drinking helps the occasional Mormon to refocus their efforts to be good enough for The Grace of God in Christ. Can you explain it?
