In reply to the discussion: Liberty's choice of Romney leads to angry student response [View all]Rozlee
(2,529 posts)To me, all religions are a pick of crazy. And yes, I'm bigoted, but I'm still shocked at all the Mormons and Scientologists I meet who have jobs and positions in power. Mormons collect tithings that they plow back into scholarships and assistance to help their younger members to get a toehold into the world and then assist them with job referrals and recommendations. Thus, assuring them great employment, better income and more generous tithings. It's no secret; they admit to the system themselves when trying to entice new members. I guess Scientology is a Hollywood phenom since so many actors are Scientologists like Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Kirstie Alley, Catherine Bell and John Travolta. Don't ask me why Greta Van Susteren is one. She strikes me more as the snake-handler type. But, I'm not apologizing for my mistrust of Romney's religion. Mormonism is a very secretive faith, with many of the rituals and ceremonies of it's priestly order, of which Romney was one, stringently guarded. I'm an atheist. The most hated minority of all and sure, I'm being discriminatory here myself. But, I don't think Romney's Mormon faith is as bad as Romney himself, though. I think Romney's his own god.
