Nervous by Mormons?
This has been an interesting year for me in the way of politics. Thanks to Mitt Romney’s attempt for the Republican nomination, my church has been in the media a lot. I have been fascinated by the articles, good and bad, that have been expressing different attitudes and perceptions people have about my church. Some people are just mind numbingly dumb and others express sensible and thought out concerns and then others don’t care. Some writers understand the issues at hand and try to look at them from a “logical” perspective.
Of course, to any atheist, Logic and Faith have no common ground. How very wrong they are.
But I digress, today I was sent a neat article on The Christian Century about what a Mormon President could mean and what role would he have in regards to his own autonomy or would he just be a puppet to a bunch of mind controlling cultists. I found it a good read and while I have no idea the religious beliefs of the author, her understanding of LDS theology and what it means in regards to our actions and our view of government and the issues being discussed by conservative christians isn’t too bad. She’s got a good bead on things. Just from understanding your LDS friends a little better, its a good read.

“Some people are just mind numbingly dumb and others express sensible and thought out concerns and then others don’t care.”
That’s exactly how people are about my religion!
Even though I dislike politics in general, I’ve actually read more about Mitt Romney than I have any of the other candidates. I’m unimpressed by the Democratic contenders so far, and even though I disagree with a few of his views, I’m more likely to vote for Romney than anyone else I see in the Presidential race right now. He seems to have more integrity than most.

It will be interesting if Hillary really does get the Dem. nomination. I think we will see people line up in droves to keep her out of office.
So far, I’m really impressed by Romney’s health care plan. Its seems sensible and better thought out then anyone else.
