Millions of Americans and news media talking heads worship government as God. It is pounded into the heads of children through government schools. We used to have 3 times daily bowing to Washington with the morning Noon and evening news. Now we have multiple channels 24/7. It will be interesting when their god fails them. [listenhillary]

I think we saw the momentary height of this in the immediate aftermath of Katrina...when NOLA-ites & the MSM expected govt to be people's god and bush to be their personal savior.

If Romney becomes prez...and he prays to a false god for whate'er may "benefit" the United States, it'll be interesting not only when the Mormon god fails to deliver -- which is a guarantee -- but also when the ONE TRUE GOD may become a bit riled that so many people would expect a man with a false god to lead them to the economic promised land.

THAT -- is part & parcel of the idolatry going on here...not only that so many would endorse a man pretending and portending to be a GOD, but that they would trust the god of this man to deliver them economically.

How sad...

In politics, the Church teaches there are non-negotiables on some government policies. In neither do I justify not voting for a candidate solely because he is a member of the LDS church. [D-fendr]

And how sad that the god of d-fendr only is interested in certain policy non-negotiables, apparently NOT which god that POTUS will -- as THE leader of the Free world -- appeal to in case of dire emergencies...in case of drought...in case of massive wildfires...in case of major earthquakes...in case of massive terrorist attacks...in case of an even worse economic free-fall...

I guess that's just all seismology and meteorology and economics and forestry -- things your church doesn't have positions on, eh, D-fendr???

All heretics’ theology includes a false god or false view of the true God. I’m not certain that your own Christology is not heretical.

Not all who call themselves Christian, LDS included, have an orthodox Christology.

I wouldn’t exclude them from consideration for public office whether they be LDS, Jew, Deist, Dispensationalist, Calvinist, etc.

I would prefer that all political leaders share my religion, that would be best. But I’m not voting for them for a clerical position, but a public one.

Your responses on this and other threads indicate to me the position of someone who singles out one heretical church, or religion contrary to their own, for special exclusion.

I don’t share this view; I believe it to be subjective in application. And, in the case of this election, harmful to the republic.

thanks for your reply.
