Why doesn't anyone ask Romney how he feels about that? Why is racism given so much more attention? This is still current church policy!! What about the Mormon church’s inequal treatment of women?

In what way does Jon's post "bash" anything or anybody? If you disagree with a point he made, then disagree. This is not even a religious post. It is clearly much more political than anything. Defensive much? What, what?

Sun, 23 Dec 2007 21:57:45 +0000 http://blurbomat.com/archives/2007/12/16/church-and-church/#comment-23039 I just don't understand why every ex mormon bashes the Church as often as possible. Although I am not Mormon, I do not (and never will) understand it. If you leave the Church, then leave it. You made your decision. Stop trying to convince the world that you were right. No candidate should be criticized for religion, unless the belong to Al Quieda or the KKK. I just don’t understand why every ex mormon bashes the Church as often as possible.

While this has nothing to do with politics, it is evidence of what you said about not being Mormon for long. I was Mormon and engaged to a non-Mormon. Then the Stake President told me that by not moving up my wedding date to when HE wanted me to do it, I was showing an "unrepentant attitude" and he excommunicated me when I basically told him to shove it, I would get married when I wanted to. Free agency, yo. And as for politics, I support Ron Paul. I feel a Mormon in the White House would lead to nothing but very bad things. (I could be a little biased, though.)

The problem was his use of the term "brainwashed" to describe his previous support of the war. It suggested that he wasn't strong-minded enough to be president, or something. At the time, I thought this criticism was ridiculous, but it stuck for some reason, and he never recovered.

The Mormon church is as conservative as it gets. There is no public way for members, regardless of prominence in the secular world, to have a dialogue with the Mormon church leaders. I have no way of knowing if conversations between Romney and church authorities in Salt Lake ever happened. So I can't answer your question. He may have said nothing. I'm not aware of any hero worship of Senator Byrd. He did vote for the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (despite earlier filibustering and opposition to segragation and earlier Civil Rights Acts as well as the Voter Rights Act of 1965). @Karl, I’ll invite you to re-read my sidenote above.
