(43,850 posts)Mitt's agenda and bizarrely inhuman character alarms me more than his religion, but I must, with some embarrassment, admit I worry that the Mormon governance has a hand in his promotion as a special child, and that we come closer to a theocracy with him in office because of the ubiquitousness of the faith in all its adherents do.
I also think there's a metaphorical bent and an attempt to be inclusive after all these centuries with most religions (not all, clearly). Mormonism is so new and so literal that it does seem more concretely bizarre to those of us who just don't believe it.
That said, I appreciate you speaking up and respect the defense of your religion. It would be good to talk rather than just posture, which happens all too often on the internets.
