Romney's World
Anyone catch the opening joke in Cedar Rapids today? That was a real Mormon insider! In Mitt's recounting, a 70-year-old man was asked how he convinced a hot 25-year-old woman to marry him. ''What did you do?'' ''Well,'' he said, ''I lied about my age.'' '' So, what did you do, tell her you were what, 50?'' ''No,'' he said. ''I told her I was ...

I agree- but...
I agree with the position taken by the author that Mitt needs to talk more about his religion. Religion is one of those things that helps form the core of many people. Therefore understanding Mitt's religion can help us understand who he is and what he will stand for if elected. That being said, however, I fundamentally disagree with the manner ...

Re: I AM A MORMON
The inventory of good works cited by ''I AM A MORMON'' reminds me a lot of the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector from Luke 18: 18:10 ''Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector. 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: 'God, I thank you, that I am not ...

Mitt Romney Campaign
It is ridiculous that Romney's faith should play such a huge role in this campaign. The Mormon way of life is commendable, and should be researched (using non-biased sources) thoroughly before any rash judgments are made about it. Why is Obama not being attacked for being Black? (Of course not, that would be discriminatory) Why isn't Clinton ...

What Mormons Believe!
There is a great way to know exactly what the Mormons believe. Instead of asking all of their neighbors and enemies what the Mormons believe, why don't we take a look at it in their own words. I have looked at www.mormon.org and www.lds.org and by so doing have come to better understand that Mormons are true Christians with strong Moral and Family ...

blatant prejudice
Perhaps, if one is going to write a piece on an individual with a specific religious affiliation, one should not be ''anti'' that religion. Making such petty attacks upon the LDS church only decreases the author's credibility, which was shaky enough due to factual errors about this faith. The autho states that Mormons believe that a ''skin of ...

(Formerly Larryex) Romney & Mormonism
You may be interested in my in-depth analysis of the effect of Mormonism on Romney's candidacy. Unfortunately, it is too comprehensive to fit within the parimeters of Kausfiles. I received about 180 responses, mostly positive. To view it, click here.
