Romney's Religion Is What it Is

I can't think of one single item I can go to a right wing Christian website and find agreement except for the whole mormon stuff. People may disagree with me on that. People on the left may disagree and say mormons are no more a cult than any religion is and I understand their point, and I'm okay with the disagreement.  I can understand as a practicality that all religion is cultish in nature.  Of course it is.  Where I'm coming from is that there are certain beliefs among Christian religions that have to be followed.  If not, Christianity becomes no more a practice than voodoo.

To believe that God lives on planet Kolob or Orem or whatever they call it.  And that Joseph Smith and Brigham Young are prophets has no basis in Christianity.  What's more, Romney is an ordained minister in the Mormon Church, which means he not only professes to believe such nonsense but has sworn to spread it around the world.

Could you imagine if Barack Obama was a minister of a church whose doctrine insisted God lived on a planet in outer space and preached its followers wear magic underwear?  Do you think the GOP would lay off that?  Not for a second would they not make it an issue.  There's no reason to give Republicans a pass on this.
