On Hugh Hewitt's blog he quotes Joseph Weisberg's attack on Mitt Romney's faith- "He was an obvious con man," Weisberg wrote, "Romney has every right to
believe in con men, but I want to know if he does, and if so, I don't
want him running the country.
I would ask Mr. Weisberg what is more dangerous- A man of proven character and intellect who appropriate views Jihadism as a major threat yet believes in the "myths" of Joseph Smith, or a secularist intellectual elitist who is deceived and thinks that the US is to blame for Isalmo-Fascism?
I am far more concernd about a candidate's false beliefs about modern issues facing America than I am about questionable religious faith. It is a fact of life that there are many, many bright people who believe in questionable things from Saquatch to UFO's. The test is not whether a person had any questionable beliefs, but rather does the person have correct beliefs on the things that matter to the country.
A religiously "deceived" member of the LDS is church is a far better candidate than a candidate whose erroneous thinking includes yielding to terror, giving up the fight in Iraq, thinking that government involvement improves education, and blaming Israel for the problems in Palestine.
It is amazing that Wesiberg and others will focus on the historical evidence against Romney's faith yet ignore the more dangerous illusions of candidates on the left.
I am a Christian, I think the Mormon Faith is blatantly false, and I plan to vote for Romney.
