The idea of Mormonism is no more far fetched than any other religion on this planet. As long as a person has good morals, strong work ethics, family values, and has solutions to bring our country out of the slump it is in then I don't think his religious beliefs should matter.
No one should base there decision at the ballot box on religion. There is a reason there is separation of church and state in this country. Just try to find a video on YouTube about Ron Paul discussing his religion, you wont. Now look at the other candidates they always throw there religion out there to swing more votes. Ron Paul owned it last night even the dumb assess who where booing b/c Ron Paul was right about the Muslims hating us on or foregin policy not because of our freedom lol. Cannot believe how dumb we have gotten as a country over the years.
church of christ actually
apparently you didn't research it deep enough because his "pastor" is about as right wing extremist as it gets and only within the last year or two has Obama began to distance himself from that nutt-job, atleast in public as it was bad for PR but I'd bet my left nut he's still being "counseled" by him.
Do you know what the fastest growing religion is.........Atheism. Faith is something you should keep to yourself. You don't here Atheist shoving what the believe down your throat but you sure as hell get it from everyone else. I guess ill starting spreading hate about Christians b/c a certain group of them have "terrorized" military funerals of fallen troops.

Yes they do try to force it upon people. This coming from an athiest who sees 0 problems with religon (except current muslims...the majority anyways oh and omish) as 99% of the time it promotes positive meaning and good cause.
Why are athiests so easily offended by religon anyways? I dont get mad at Star Wars or Superman or Alien movies or believers. It has 0 impact on my life. But athiests seem to want to sway believers or belittle them. I dont get it.

no, he's christian
the first amendment and a candidate publicizing his/her religious beliefs are not mutually exclusive. the text states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" this does not mean political leaders cannot or should not exercise their faith publicly. (that rule is in the bible, not the constitution) the amendment simply means that the federal government will not support, fund, or endorse any religion. you could take it a step further and say it means no national religion ( a response to the church of england, no doubt). if you read up on the framers, many of them were religious themselves and publicly said religious things.

i would say jeremiah wright was more left wing extremist than right wing extremist.
sad but true. too many godless bastards running around these days. its one thing to say you have no active relationship with some sort of religion ( such as me), but its another to completely reject religion altogether. its not natural and i usually consider this type of person a step above being mentally ill lol

It's just discussion. Don't take it so seriously and it won't get the best of you.
Ha! I won't go into my beliefs, but those... are awesome.
That's an opinion, and you educated yourself to create it. A rare thing among the voting populus today. The church where that pastor preached to Obama said "Church of Christ" on the sign. He preached beneath a Christian cross, and that's all the people needed to see because even if the pastor was a nut-job, Obama's church was proof enough that he was Christian. Most voters don't look more than surface-deep at presidential candidates, Obama in particular. The media and conservative camps over-inflated Obama's connection to the preacher, Obama's camp downplayed it skillfully, and his supporters dismissed the whole scandal as right-wing media hype. Remember, at the time, people were more infatuated with electing a "black" man (even if he is only half-black)... he would have had to be a devout Muslim or followed some African Swahili religion before it affected the public consciousness. He was the right guy in the right place with the right demographic pushing him to the top, unfortunately for the rest of us who knew what he'd bring to the table (or rather, what he lacks).

Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones. I am not afraid. -Marcus Aurelius
People seem to think that by praising a God every Sunday is a ticket to the good life when you die this is a very good video on a man who is very smart and very educated in religions. It's kinda long but just listen to what he has to say and he makes some very good points.
