Chattanooga-area evangelical church pastors may believe the Mormon faith is a cult and may not consider Gov. Mitt Romney a Christian, but they said that won't stop them from considering a vote for him in next month's presidential election.
More than eight in 10 voters in a Pew Forum poll this summer said they were comfortable with the Republican nominee's faith or it didn't matter to them. Nineteen percent said they were uncomfortable with his faith.
"We are electing a president, not a pastor," said Tim Shoap, co-pastor of Signal Mountain Bible Church. "I want the best and most effective leader we can get, [one] who will represent the interests of the people and the country in keeping with the original intent of the Constitution. For me, that makes the Mormon issue largely irrelevant."
While members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints consider themselves Christians, several local evangelical pastors do not.
"Mormonism is a cult," said Jeremy Roberts, pastor of Highland Park Baptist Church. "Mormons are polytheistic universalists who deny that Jesus is the eternal son of God."
However, he said he would base his vote on "policy, leadership skills and who I perceive will most likely lead the country in the direction I believe is best."

Well, I’ll tell you this.
I like Mitt Romney a lot more than I like you.
You win the prize this week......people who do not support Romney are
murders
hitler lovers
bastard troll
commie agenda
must be zotted
Nice job.
“Well, I’ll tell you this.
I like Mitt Romney a lot more than I like you.”
It’s because I don’t tell you lies.
As you are about Romney?
Whatever you say, Mr. Gibbs.
I guess you missed his post, fool.
“No Obot, I just find your muslim ass kissing disgusting.”
I find your denial of Christianity by defending Mormonism, and your denial of all values and principles by refusing to even defend Mitt Romney from the accusations traditionally made against him, to be quite disgusting.
Let me know when you find a magic way to explain how Mitt Romney isn’t a confirmed progressive liar.
Or Wiccan,Atheist or I would say a Unitarian.
You have made your choice, you are correct, you do not need my approval, what every that choice is.
I will say it again: it is the eternal choices that grieve me, whether it’s your’s or Romney’s or anyone one else’s.
My spirit is grieve when people do not choose the path of God Almighty, but that choice is yours and yours alone.
I defend Israel, our military and all the other Americans against your assertion that the muslims should be respected because they are honest about killing us.
You can kiss my ass, Obot.
Are you going for a bigger prize as you have added: fool.
So you agree with RC that the muslims deserve respect because they are honest about their intentions to behead you? Apparently you do or you wouldn’t have gone to such great lengths to defend his/her post.
“I defend Israel, our military and all the other Americans against your assertion that the muslims should be respected because they are honest about killing us.

Here is a summary of your posts, your hate and this thread, unfortunately:
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
If, in the years that Romney was governor of Massachusetts, he had had any pro-Mormon bias in his appointments or in any other way, we would have heard all about it.
Your liberal interpretation is underwhelming. Thanks for playing OBot.
She doesn’t care if we do get Hugo Chavez. All she cares about is that a Mormon doesn’t sit in the White House.
“If, in the years that Romney was governor of Massachusetts, he had had any pro-Mormon bias in his appointments or in any other way, we would have heard all about it.”
Well, I guess that’s the problem! How many of those appointments weren’t pro-abortion, pro-gay agenda, or otherwise freaks and creeps? But, then again, Mitt says the LDS is not pro-life, that many of its leaders are “pro-choice, but are against abortion.”
So what? That was the policy put into place by the U.S. government. It’s kind of like complaining when someone writes off a perfectly legal business expense on their tax return. If you don’t like the rule, complain to the people who made it. In this case, you’re about 40 years too late. But nice try.
“Your liberal interpretation is underwhelming. Thanks for playing OBot.”
You attack me on every thread, but I’m still waiting, MittBot, for you to explain one false thing I’ve ever written about Mittens. That’s an open challenge I’ve been putting out there for awhile, but no one is biting. You worry more about who I am and what I believe, than you ever have for the guy you are bullying everyone into supporting. I’ll stand on the facts, and I will not pimp my religion or my vote to make you happy Mr. Keyboard Commando.
You know whose feet we need to hold to the fire? Every stinkin’ “Republican” in the House and Senate, that’s who. If they’re wishy-washy with Romney as President, then is it up to HIM to straighten up their thinking and make them all good little conservatives?
(Not picking on you! I’m just more fed up with people like Boehner, Cantor, McCain, etc. They’ve shown very little backbone with Obama, in spite of what the Democrat propaganda says.)
