For the benefit of the theological illiterate here at FR, Romney's Mormon faith informs his politics. It is not irrelevant.
The Mormon faith is a convoluted form of humanism. There is no recognition of absolute truth in the Mormon faith. It is all predicated on spiritual ascension to godhood, a distinctly atavistic concept.
God is merely a higher form of human evolution in the Mormon view. And, as we should understand by now ALL humanism leads to socialism.
I have the same question for you and everyone else. How has Mormonism contributed to the growth of socialism. How has Mormonism benefited socialists or communists? I am looking for concrete answers not theory.
By irrelevant I mean that It doesn’t matter WHY he is a socialist. All that matters to me is that he is...
Be it religion, a cult, head trauma, etc... It doesn’t really matter. ALL that matters is that he wants to further enslave us to the state and collective.
