Christian Leader: Romney's Mormon Faith Could Hinder Presidential Bid
in response to reader comment: The Bible says

Submitted by Ruth Tripp, Dec 7, 2007 10:09

I lived in Utah for 50 years and can tell you that the mormons believe they have the potential of becoming gods of their own world one day. It seems to me this is the the reason for man's fall into sin (satan tempted Eve with it). I don't care how good he LOOKS - mormonism is a very deceitful religion and the people in it are taught to be decietful as well. Huckabee is a far better canidate then Romney all the way around. If Focus on the Family endorses Romney it'll prove that the notion of "having a Christian as our leader" is just a political ploy that republicans have used to win! As for me; I will never vote for a man who believes he will be god of his own world in the afterlife. Ruth Tripp
