By the way, I completely agree with FT. Believing in Mormonism shows a total lack of critical thinking. This is a huge part of why I wouldn't vote for a Mormon.

Why Some Evangelicals Won't Vote for Romney

I don't understand why so many so-called conservative Christians are backing Mitt Romney. It is very early in the election and a Republican nominee has yet to be chosen. If evangelical Christians would put their considerable power behind a good Christian candidate, that candidate might actually have a chance! But instead, the Christian leaders, and apparently the people too, have already resigned themselves for voting for a Mormon or a Christian who supports abortion.

There are a number of good Christian cadidates out there right now who need your vote and support. Paul and Huckabee are both superior in every way to Romney or Guiliani. Or how about McCain? Why are these evangelical leaders not backing some other candidate? I just don't get this.

As to losing credibility if Christians stay home - nothing would make Christians lose credibility more with the Republican party than being willing to vote for any candidate they choose to run, no matter how much his own personal beliefs or religion are opposed to ours!! Think of it, if the headlines are Christians stay home (or vote 3rd party), then the Republican party knows they need to field a GOOD CANDIDATE in order to get this voting bloc! Then we have credibility that we will actually VOTE OUR CONSCIENCES! This is what Christian people should be doing! If Christians go out and vote for Romney or Guiliani, we will lose all credibility as a group whose concerns should be addressed by our leaders.

The current administration has already totally ignored Christians. Where is the anti-gay marriage amendment? Where is the attempt to overturn Roe V Wade? They have done nothing, and expect they will still get our votes. Apparently, they are right, from what I am reading from Christians and Christian leaders. With this type of attitude, I don't have much hope for the future of our country.
