Seriously, the “Christian” community embraced George W. Bush almost as a messenger from God because he “professed” to be a Christian. Truth be told most people that claim to be “Christian” are really just Neocons. How hypocritical…embrace Bush and condemn Romney.

As a (Biblical) Christian, my vote will be for Ron Paul…even if only by way of a write-in.

The Christians need to read the old testament to see how God really wants the world to work…how He set up Israel…a truly Libertarian (almost Anarchist) society, no taxes, no official “government”, no coercively funded “police” force, no conscription, no “regulations”, no oink sector…just a group of independent, individual families living THEIR lives without meddling with their neighbors’.

Somewhere along the line the “Christians” stopped reading their Bibles and started looking to the statists for the definition of what a true Christian is. Even going to the point of viewing the old testament as pseudo-canonical, although Jesus affirmed it’s cannonicity at every opportunity.

It’s kinda funny…but even Ayn Rand was closer to Christianity than most of these people are.

Ilana, by “gaian” I mean someone who is pushing the environmentalist agenda with such vigour, one would be forgiven for thinking he worships mother earth (Gaia).

Its simple slander to imply that Governor Perry was behind the Mormon is a cult comment. Perry responded directly that he did not believe the assertion and did so with a lot more conviction than MS Hillary’s own reflection on Obama’s Christianity – “…he is a Christian, as far as I know…”
Intellectual pinheads so want an “articulate, conservative Obama” that they’re willing to nominate someone who supports man made global warming theory, the repeal and replacement of Obamacare, and the assertion that the roots of FDR’s social security scheme are right and just on their face. Not to mention a 59 point central plan for the US economy.
By the way, what if Romney was a Scientologist, would that be relevant?

I still think he should have been a sports broadcaster.

H L Mencken said, “We must respect the other fellow’s religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.” I’m much more interested in whether the other fellow acts honestly and benevolently toward his fellow man. I’ve noticed that no religion has a monopoly on those traits nor has followers that consistently exhibit them.

I really don’t think it matters if the person running for president is a person that worships seashells. What I want is a person that can administer and lead(?) this country into stability.

For those who do not know or who have forgotten, GEORGE ROMNEY, Mitt’s father, ran American Motors and was a GOVERNOR of MICHIGAN. If I recall correctly, Governor Romney was a very reasonable person as Governor. Mitt, I believe, attended a very highly regarded private school in an upscale suburb of Detroit. He has brain power. Their Mormonism meant nothing of importance to me then nor does it now.

I think Mitt would be an asset in Ron Paul’s cabinet and Ron could teach him a few things as well.

You can correct me if I am mistaken, but the classic definition of “cult” is: a group of people with closely held religious views. If that is the case, any religion can be classified a “cult”. Although I have profound disagreements with regards to “doctrine”, not one Mormon will ever stand before me in judgment.

Given a choice between a Mormon, a Muslim, a democrat and a gaian [???] as president of the US, I'd go with the Mormon every single time.

Christianity requires a dependance on the finished works of our savior Jesus to make oneself accetable to God.

Mormonism does not.
