  • Fantastic article!

    Someone tell me why those in the USA who try so hard to get the 10 commandments posted all over in our public square and taught to our kids in school break so many of them trying to get that done? And also fight so hard to take money from the poor and middle class and put in the hands of the rich? And also to keep corporate greed-based health ...

  • Importance of Faith in Politics

    I'd like to address the importance of a candidates religion. Certainly, the most important thing to consider is a candidates position of issues. Secondly, we look at his moral character. Then we start asking ourselves other questions. From this perspective, a candidates religion would most likely affect all of these questions and thus ...

  • Mormons v Southern Baptists

    As a former Mormon who now lives in Southern Baptist territory in Texas, I have come to appreciate my LDS upbringing more every year. Mormons NEVER EVER mention politics in church, for one thing. Most Southern Baptists around here are mean-spirited, unabashedly partisan right-wingers in the pulpit, and have no cultural sophistication whatsoever. I ...

  • Very well written, but...

    The so-called Mormon views that are focused on are hardly the core of the Mormon gospel. Rather, they are the version of Mormonism that SBC pamphlets would like to focus on. If you want to know what Mormons really believe, read the Articles of Faith, written by Joseph Smith in response to a request for clarity by Mr. Wentworth of the Chicago ...

  • 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 ...

  • Romney, the cringe-factor

    Slate, Slate, Slate.... my source as a (gasp) Liberal, New England educated Latter-day Saint for some light-hearted Romney bashing and entertaining campaign videos.... What were you thinking? The ''Boxers Briefs or MORMON UNDERWEAR'' headline was cute (they're called Garments, by the way). The article, and our dear Hitch's lack of respect ...

  • Mitt the Mormon

    I thought this article was inappropriate, calling a religion a cult is out of line. And poking fun at things that a religion holds as sacred is also out of line. I think that Mitt Romney declining answers about his religion is appropriate because he probably does not want to become a spokesperson for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day ...

  • Proud to be Mormon

    Wow! This article really hurt my feelings. Politics is one thing and it seems that mudslinging within campaigning is tolerated, however some of the comments made in this article went beyond mudslinging at a cadidate and were more directed at the religion itself. I don't know what exactly qualifies Mr. Christopher Hitchens as an expert of my ...

  • 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 ...
