Reply #38: Not that the Mormons are that much wackier than xtians, but ...

I am tired of all the hand wringing about anyone who questions Romney's faith.

Now, if he had not gone on national TV to talk about his faith, maybe I'd be willing to give him a pass. But, he did ... and, just like Bush spins torture, WMD, undermining the Constitution, Romney's machine is trying to spin Mormonism into Christianity (as most in this country know it) and it just ain't the same.

Further, in his speech he said "My faith is the faith of my fathers. I will be true to them and to my beliefs."

Well his 'fathers' were polygamists, racists, and sexists.

And, there are MAJOR historical, doctrinal, theological, and dogmatic differences between Christianity and Mormonism.

Mormonism is no closer to Christianity than Judaism or Islam. Now, if Romney would just acknowledge that and move on, I would not have as much of a problem with it (exc. the sexist, racist, polygamist thing). But, he has chosen to try to align himself with Conservative Christians (bad enough) through obfuscation, passive aggressiveness, and playing the 'faith' card.
