Joe's a bigot. He should be a Democrat already.
I'm explaining this to you once, and you probably won't get it, anyway. But here goes.
I do not believe that you can be a religious bigot. You either believe that your religion is the correct and proper one, and all others are false, or you believe all religions are wrong, and false.
Now, as an atheist, the squabble between Lutheranism and Catholicism is kind of petty to me. They both read the same bible. They both come up with different interpretations on sacraments, papal authority, etc.
Mormonism is different, because they present a series of books that they claim are additional material that contradicts all others.
Intellectually there are only TWO approaches you can honestly take towards Mormonism.
1) Joseph Smith was really talking to God, all other religions are wrong, where do I sign up.
2) Joseph Smith was a two-bit con man who was making stuff up to scam less smart people out of money and score with multiple women and girls.
All the evidence supports the latter view.
Unless you are a whipped dog of political correctness who just can't offer an opinion on something you must realize is damned silly.
I refuse to play that game. I reject Mormonism as a lie. And a rather malicious one at that. To what degree Romney has been duped by the lie or is helping to perpetrate it is sort of immaterial to me.
