Thanks for the replies. I think Mormonism is rather harmless, but i guess I'm not familiar with 'orthodox' Mormonism. As a cult born in the bowels of hell it surely disappoints. We have had very good presidents who have believed in creationism and other crazy crap. I just don't care what politicians believe, I care about what they do in their job. I may be wrong, but I doubt a mormon president would be different then any other president.

I am certainly not saying that there are no differences between various religions, but I am unconvinced that, from an outside perspective, that there is more difference then similarity. Fanaticism is what we are really afraid of. Hitchens thinks all religious people are basically on the road to fanaticism (if not already fanatics). Maybe he is right, If you think Mitt is a fanatic then that seems like a good reason to vote for someone else.

Very entertaining!
