I want to talk about Mormons .
To preface, I have a very dogmatist(that's just a better word for bigot) view of all religions. So before you accuse me of irrationally hating the Mormon religion know that I irrationally hate all religions. I'm an equal opportunity offender. I plan on doing an editorial piece of my viewpoint for all religions (or at least the main ones, sorry Zoroastrian). But, I felt Mormonism to be fitting considering the recent coverage the religion has been getting concerning Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
For those that are not up to date on the history of Mormonism refer to the link of the wikipedia page or better yet watch the video I posted from South Park. It is timeless.
The issue concerning Romney is that Christians hate Mormons. No one admits it but everyone knows it. Romney is the perfect candidate for the Republican party, but his being a Mormon puts him in disfavor among many Christian Republicans. This is manifesting itself in Iowa where Romney is having a hard time gathering support in the GOP. LINK
Although Mr. Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts, has been able to make inroads among the evangelicals, an influential voting bloc in the state, interviews with Mr. Huckabee’s supporters make clear that a sizable number are distinctly uncomfortable with Mr. Romney’s religion and cite it as a major reason they would not vote for him in the state’s Jan. 3 caucuses.
Now for my opinion: I refuse to believe that anybody who can adopt such a religion as Mormonism founded on such absurd principles can be of sound mind.
