(4,359 posts)It feels against my upbringing to discuss it openly but he is not a passive follower. We can look into the clubs a presidential hopeful holds membership in, we can look into the political party he joins, we can require a vetting process where they discuss who they have slept with, who they have borrowed money from, who they have given money to and all of that is fair. But we can't question the religion of a candidate even if he is a leader of that church?
See, I'd agree with you but then I realized, there are religions that I am uncomfortable with and not because of their beliefs, but because of their actions. If you have ever had a gay Mormon friend who has been hounded out of their church then you'll know what I mean. They told a friend of mine's mom that she was not even allowed to talk to him any more or be kicked out of the church. (she didn't listen, they kicked her out).
Bishop Romney for President is a discussion that I feel is fair to discuss. He isn't Mitt Romney who happens to be Mormon...he is Bishop Romney and he wants to be your leader.
