What do you know about Mormonism? Do you know anything for yourself about it? Do you know anything about it, or do you feel this way because they are different than you?

When I was in high school the kids with the fastest cars never told anyone how fast they were, those with the slow cars told everyone their car was like lightning. I like you name.

- The Book of Mormon is a history of the people on the American Continent who lived at the same time as the people of the Bible. Is that so hard to believe and accept?

No one who can swallow this fictional religion created by Joseph Smith should be elected to anything. Mormonism is just a little below Scientology.

Personally, I believe that God must have called Joseph Smith to be His prophet; no one else would have thought of him.

Funny, yet true.

Another place, or two, a lot of people seem to have problems with;
-Joseph Smith was said to be a prophet who God revealed His will to, and the Mormons say they have just such a prophet today in Gordon B. Hinckley. It is so hard for people to believe God cares about his children and wants to talk with them, even though those same people believe that exact thing happened, as they believe in the Bible and the Bible Prophets.

- The Book of Mormon is a history of the people on the American Continent who lived at the same time as the people of the Bible. Is that so hard to believe and accept?

However, Mitt Romney's conservative base feel that religion is everything when it comes to the ability to govern.

In the middle of those two extremes are most Americans, and me.

America needs a person who is willing to govern/legislate based on the Constitution, the document that truly keeps America free. We do not need politicians who govern based on misinterpretations of their holy book!

You say you are in the middle but then you say
"We do not need politicians who govern based on misinterpretations of their holy book!"

Here you show ignorance and bias. You allude that Mitt will govern based on his religion, but you have obvioulsy not looked into Mitt's political past .

Your statement "misinterpretations of their holy book" shows you have bias but also shows you either have been reading or listening to those who know not what they talk about or you are just guessing what Mormons believe in. If it is their Holy book, how do they misinterpret it? Are you saying you have read it and know what it says and they get it wrong? Or are you guessing what it is as you have not read it?

Why not look deeper into those things you talk about before you show your ignorance?
