Thanks for this post. This is something I have been wondering myself. I also was reminded something by my father - all of the presidents of the United States have “officially” been members of Christian church and this has not ensured Christianity, it hasnt even played a factor into their political decision making. I think the article posted here does a good job showing a similar thing with Romney and Mormonism.
That being said, I still am troubled over his past actions regarding abortion and homosexuality (examples that his faith isnt always a factor in his political decision making) but he speaks correctly now - if he gets the nomination and wins, his actions will speak loudly.

Sam,

“Loony” was a wrong choice of words. I certainly meant no disrespect to the Mormon faith or community, as I know many Mormons who are fine and decent peoples and wonderful moral le es. However, since this was originally a response to a post on the Ft. Wayne seminary blog, the point that I was trying to convey was the theological difference between our two faiths. There was absolutely no disrespect intended.

Your comment about religion and politics being two seperate enities is spot on. Just look at Senator Majority leader Harry Reid and former senator Orrin Hatch who share the same faith yet couldn’t be further apart on the political spectrum to prove this point.

People should leave religion out of the equation when voted, yet this would only exist in a perfect world….what is sad from a Republican’s view is that too many narrow-minded voters are disqualifying who many believe to be the best GOP candidate merely on the basis of Romney’s faith - and that to me is a shame.

Hey,
Let me just start off by saying, I am a Mormon. So the ignorant and offensive comments about it being a “loony” religion didn’t impress me much. I feel I have only been blessed for my lifestyle choices. And believe it or not, the thought of morning coffee makes me sick.
However, I am elated that there are more Christians out there who can understand that religion and politics are two separate entities. I believe that this is a strong belief in the Mormon faith. Never have we been pressured by Church leaders to vote one way or the other, and I know of many Mormons who will not be voting for Mitt Romney, simply because of their separate political beliefs. So you needn’t fear. Mitt Romney will not be subject to pressures from Salt Lake. People really need to shut their mouths and open their minds. It’s ridiculous what people can get away with saying in the media about Mormons. If the same words were used to describe any other faith or religion, it would be seen as outright unacceptable. But for some reason, people think it’s OK to constantly offend and demean a humble, God-fearing people.
