scrutinizing a candidate's religious beliefs: fair or foul play?

Is it bigotry to examine the religious beliefs of someone who wishes
to be our commander in chief to see whether those beliefs are consistent
with sound judgment and discernment?

If the candidate's religion is a main stream Christian denomination
the answer for most of us would likely be leave it alone; it's off limits

But might one answer the question differently if say, the candidate's religion
were a strange religion such as as Witchcraft or  Santeria? (Voodoo)

Actually the type of religion that a candidate professes
"faith" in may tell us something important about his or her judgment and discernment
of truth from  fiction ,and history from mythology. Aways ask the question: "Faith in what?"
If a person  places his or her "faith" in something unsubstantial, unrealistic, or downright foolish,
it calls their judgement into question.

And one character quality that everyone wants to see in a serious presidential candidate
is good judgment and discernment. Conversely, a quality that makes most voters very uneasy,
is naivette, or extreme credulity.

And, based on his faith in the weird  teachings
of the Mormon "church",  one of the qualities  which is sadly lacking in Mitt Romney
is an abilty to discern fact from fiction, and mythology  from history

I firmly believe that any person who can swallow the  strange and bizarre doctrines
of the Mormon religion, is  simply be too gullible and naive to be
President of the United States and responsible negotiating with
tough minded foreign leaders.


The Mormon teachings read like something from a far fetched science fiction paperback
rather than a world respected religion. Moreover, It is decidely unchristian,
unbiblical, and it's so-called "scriptures" such as the "Book of Mormon" is
 filled with patently ridiculous  fables, which would be downright funny if
grown men and women did not actually take them seriously.

So with that in mind, I must ask the question: Does Mitt Romney possess sound
judgment and discernment? And what would be  the spiritual consequences be for
thousands of lost souls if  he  were actually elected President of our country?

Well, lets see. He already  has admitted that he believes the teachings
of the Mormon church. 


Such as:
 

1. Magic underwear that must be worn 24-7

(it allegedly protects "temple worthy" mormons from danger.)
Maybe Mitt would issue a pair to each of our troops in Iraq?

 

2. An angel called "moroni" speaking

in King James English to the criminally insane sex fiend, Joseph Smith, about
some "golden plates" with the book of Mormon  inscribed upon them.  

(What if some night Moroni makes a surprise midnight visit to the
Whitehouse and  begins wispering in Mitt's s ear.  The Mormons
beleve in continuing relevation. Its their defense to Josephs Smiths "new bible": The Book of Mormon.

I hate to think Mitt might listen to Moroni  if he were to tell him that
a certian mideast country is actually ancient Assyria, or Babylon and thus needs to be destroyed.
Mitt  says he wont let church leaders influence his decisions; but how about the "angels"
who visited Mormon leaders from time to time??
 I would not want to take that chance.

 

3.  Anti-black doctrines pertaining to an unscriptural and ridiculous
"Melchizedek  priesthood" available to caucasians only.
(in the late 1970's and old coot named Spencer Kimball ,
who was head of the very  heirarchical Mormon church,
 issued a fatwah, or proclamation that blacks were no longer
to be considered Inferior. Maybe that is why the call  themselves
 "Latter day" Saints-they were definitely way late in receiving the new revelation
from Spencer Kimball, that no man is inferior due to his race. Or perhap, like Slick Mitt
Spencer Kimball's "conversion" was born out of PR expediency.

 

4. Racial bias against Native Americans. (see #3 above)

5. A childish belief in a race of beings called "Nephites" alleged to have
lived in America two centuries ago. This absurd belief has been
scientifically disproved at laughed at by professional archeologists.

(One has to wonder what a President who swallows such fantastic fables
might decide in matters where sound science or history is needed in order
to make an important policy decision.)

 

6.  The baptizing of their ancestors (salvation by works) 
(Lots or religions teach that false doctrine however, it is still wrong)
 

 

7.  "Sealing" men to plural wives in heaven, so that when Mormon men die and enter
the "celestial kingdom" they get to have relations with thousands of beautiful virgins.
(Not all that dissimilar  to a promise made to young male suicide bombers of the Islamic "Faith".)
 

8. Calling Our Lord Jesus Christ the "spirit brother" of Lucifer-which is utterly blasphemous!

 

 And there are dozens of other lunatic doctrines such as: 
 The Garden of Eden was actually located  in the state of Missouri..

I could go on, but, if you want to learn more about the Mormon cult,
read  Walter Martin's Kingdom of the Cults
for a revealing  expose of Mormonism. (see www.waltermartin.org )

  

After reading "Kingdom of the Cults", one can only conclude that Mormonism
has got to be the most far fetched, outlandish, and also the
most destructive so-called "religion" on the face of the earth-next to Islam.
And any adult who believes this nonsense lacks the judgment and
discernment required to lead our nation!


What a person  believes or does not believe reflects his or her
 judgement and discernment, and  henece is fair game.

This is just another example of PC gone amuck. And this
" I am  a victim" business by Mormons is getting old.
It's just one more pathetic example of liberal PC whining, recycled
for us, by of all people, self professing "conservatives".
 

But what is an even more shameful commentary on the spiritual condition
of our nation are the so-called evangelical "leaders" who are endorsing
this heretic knowing full well that if slick, flip flopping, Massachusetts Mitt
became president it would furnish a windfall of free publicity to this
strange cult and increase Mormon conversions exponentially - leading to
the damnation of untold numbers of poor lost souls seeking desperately for
something to believe in.

 

 So, shame on these backslidden  preachers who are more worried about
accomplishing certain temporal and worldly political objectives than
they are in saving lost souls.
