Romne and being mormon

[randallscott35]

Speak of the devil. There is a documentary about Mormons on ABC right now. A bit whacked out, at least the crew in Utah...Romney has only 1 wife so far.

Baba,
I saw him on a network news show( i can't remember which one) saying that he was going to educate the united states on the mormon religion during his campaign. I could care less what religion he is, I was just wondering how people saw that hurting or helping his chances.

if we wanted an education, we'd go back to school. now, if he wants to explain how he's going to keep spending down, as well as taxes, and cut fraud and waste, i'd love to hear it!

I agree...don't see religion playing a huge role in his case. Now if he were to actually somehow get the nomination...he could have issues regarding same...I would hope not, in my opinion there is an endless list of reasons not to vote for him but religion would never be one...besides, if America will tolerate a Mormon, maybe someday a Wiccan?

yeah, maybe....wouldn't bother me. i don't think religion should enter into it. altho i have to admit that i wouldn't vote for a pat robertson type...bush imo is scary enough with his god told me to stuff. but i've always felt religion was a private deal, between every person and his or her god(s)..

I Disagree. I think religion has a great deal to do with it because it shapes how many of us make decisions. If you wouldn't vote for a pat robertson type then obviously, it does matter. Organized religion is not private. Your relationship with your god or god(s) is. When you go to a church, temple, mosque etc(sorry somer was going to include you as well but sadly, I know very little of the wiccan faith) your going there to worship with other people, and not by yourself. Now, The time you spent in contemplation/prayer i believe is personal.

what i meant was that i understand most people have faith, and that faith is their business. they have to explain their feelings and ideas on many things-i don't care how they reached their ideas, i just want to know what they are, so i can decide if that is the person i want to vote for. i don't know what pat robertsons view was on much of anything, except his religion. so, if i wanted him as a pastor, i may have chosen him-but as president i don't know of anything that would have qualified him.
