I wonder if that means that a female has the right to take a couple of husbands? It doesn't quite work for Islam, I hear.

It does not.

Honestly, I'd rather know that the candidate falls under good old fashioned christian charity rather than be an actual participating member of any church/religion. I have no problem with any of the religions that I've researched into. Most of them preach close to the same aspects that anyone can agree on. Help those that need it, find understanding rather than argue, treat others fairly and like you want to be treated........The hard part is finding an honest man to put in any of the offices of power in our government it seems.

True all round the world, LS.

Well, one can argue about the idea of what constitutes "mainstream" christainity. But that still makes them christians, "mainstream" or not.

After all, the formal name of the mormon church is "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints."

Jesus, as the christ figure is literally in their name.

There are Democratic Republics which aren't, GG.

Do you know of the "Cargo Cults" of the South Pacific?

I'm not anti-Mormon, I want to know how far outside the box the American votor is able to go.

Far enough to make it a horse race. With Mr. Romney's injudicious remarks about caring for the poor, and President Obama's backtracking on abortifacients, 8+ months is far enough in the future that I'll let others place their bets on what they see in their crystal balls. :)

With the inclusion of birth control (a sexual issue), I have achieved the trifecta, Religion, Politics and Sex.

My puter hasn't melted yet, but the mouse is hot to the touch. LOL

May the God of Isaac and Ishmael help with this quandary. :)

Indeed, God help us all.

One correction. The REAL hard part is the other aspect of Christianity and it's variety of spinoffs, (including Islam) which is the evangelistic directive. "My way is the only way and you WILL embrace it…." seems to be the spoiler of all the other professed good will. :whack:



The irony seems to be the one that brings no conflicting agenda is least acceptable for the office. :rofl:

All Faiths, Theist or Atheist, set the focus the believer in some way.

Yes, even the ones abandoned as we depart childhood and enter adultery.

My kinda guy! :thumb:
