You of course are free to vote on whatever criteria you choose. But in 2012, we ended up with an irreligious man winning the election. Is that preferable to a Mormon candidate? Perhaps you believe it is. You have the right to your opinion. It just seems odd that in applying such religious tests, a voter can end up with a secular humanist such as Obama, who clearly has disdain for religious faith in general.
“You of course are free to vote on whatever criteria you choose.”
Agreed.
“But in 2012, we ended up with an irreligious man winning the election.”
I think he is religious. I don’t think he is a Christian.
“Is that preferable to a Mormon candidate? Perhaps you believe it is.”
1. No, they are equally wrong spiritually.
2. Mormonism claims to be “Christian” while denying the God of the Bible and making him into an idol. It perverts the truth of the Gospel and consequently hides the Source of eternal life. I don’t want to do anything to elevate or validate this perversion.
3. Mitt RINOmney wanted to be president and made noises to be elected, but is no conservative.

1. It is the system our country’s Founders chose. Some people vote strictly for their financial interests, some vote strictly on pro-life issues, some vote strictly by party, some have a balanced view. I have a balanced view that is bigger than an election.
2. I believe the POStus (sorry I misspelled that) is religiously a muslim.
