Do we want as president a man who worships a false god?

The presidency is a job to which one is elected. Religion is no part of that job, and no president has any business meddling in religious affairs using the powers of his office. The religion of a president is irrelevant - I want to know if the man can and will do a good job. Romney, I'm convinced, will not be a good president - but that has to do with the fact that he's at heart a liberal, not because of his religious views.

I agree for the most part with your statement, with this one exception (because I know Mormonism) Romney is who he is because of his belief in Mormonism not in spite of it.
Romney has not governed in a contrary way to this belief.
Many people have been trying to make this point over the years, and to some extent have failed because unfortunately most people (even Mormons) know little of Mormonism and when it is exposed view it as a personal attack on individuals (which it is not).

Wow! I didn't know they thru discernment out the window as a key element THE leader of the Free world?

So, you're telling us that a guy could be as gullible to deception as possible...and it just plays no intersection with the White House dude's character???

Or a guy can show THE most arrogance in the world...declare himself a "god-in-embryo"...and hey, you "high-five" him for it??? [For Lds teachings that temple Lds ARE "gods-in-embryo," see post #57]

All as you somehow disregard that as a character flaw?

So millions of us conservatives that critique away Obama's ties to Rev. Jeremiah Wright...and yet you haven't responded to any of those thousands of posts that "Religion is no part of that job..."???? Why not? Religious hypocrisy being exercised?

How many thousands of times have FREEPERs referenced Obama's supposed current "Muslim" status on threads -- including this one??? I noticed you didn't rush in to remind them that Obama's "religion" (whatever that may be) has "no part of that job."

I hate to say it...but too many FREEPERs have become some of the worst religious hypocrites I've seen in how they apply their convictions...
