Use whichever term you like--religion, spirituality, piety, doctrine, theology, faith, belief, church, whatever--I do not look to a president for that kind of guidance.

Charles, that's rather short-sighted...especially for somebody who shepherds both the young and the spiritually immature.

You may not (do not) look to a POTUS for that kind of guidance, but as my tagline shows, the spiritually vulnerable do.

You know as well as I do that one of our nation's problems is that the ceiling of authority for too many people ends @ the govt's hand (and/or Supreme Ct).

You and I probably BOTH saw that in the immediate aftermath of Katrina, when the liberals saw only govt as their "savior." IOW, people in power & authority are almost -- Psalm 82-like -- treated as "gods."

That cultural outlook rains upon the young (& spiritually immature) as well...

You know as well as I do how grandiose and even legendary a POTUS can become in the minds of the young. (Look @ how Kennedy's reputation was for so long -- despite his mini-orgies in the White House).

Romney-as-puppet-of-a-'prophet' -- coupled with the massive PR effort to be undertaken by the Lds church -- will seek to "Mormonize" the nation.

They won't care if they "only" reach another 1.7% of the nation -- their current size. If they can double themselves from 1.7% to 3.4% -- plus put in the minds of the young and spiritually vulnerable that they should seriously consider Mormonism @ some future juncture, that's a 100% hike with seeds planted to triple and quadruple themselves.

I am frankly surprised that you look @ this only from the angle of the spiritually mature Christian leader. What if our Great Shepherd Jesus had done the same thing?

I don't know of anybody who has joined a church based on the religion of the president. I will continue to preach and teach against the false doctrines of the Mormons, even as I support Romney, if he's doing a good job as president.

In any case, it comes down to Obama vs. Romney. One of these two men will be the president. Who will do the better job for our country? I think Romney. There's no way I could possibly vote for Obama. I want to see him out of there. And the only way for that to happen is to elect Romney. In no way is that an endorsement of his false religion.
