We Should Lay off Using Romney's Mormon Beliefs as a Criticism

[HiPointDem]

123. Point out what? Is Romney a dominionist?

IMO it's a question of tone & topic.

Mormons' magic underwear affects no one's life -- it's not a political issue any more than Sikhs' habit of wearing turbans or Catholics' rosary beads are, so why MAKE FUN of people for those things -- which is what we're doing when we mock them under the smokescreen of political discussion, especially in the nasty tone such attacks usually take?

What is this but bullying and bigotry, and from the very people who declare themselves to be steadfastly against bullying and bigotry.

OTOH, there are legitimate political discussions concerning religion. Things like the dominionists' stated belief in theocracy, tax policy/lobbying for religious orgs, the channeling of public monies to religious orgs or their surrogates, the stance of religious orgs on the issues of the day, etc.
