Beleaguered candidate Mitt Romney seems to be spending more time having to dig himself out of his religious background than talking about his grand plans as president. The religion card is a serious card and one that the other candidates seem to be playing to great effect. The great conservative Christian block are already skittish with this deviation from the religious high road, and the mere mention of Mormonism has them reaching for their Tums.
In an interview destined for publication in next Sundays New York Times Magazine, Huckabee is asked if he considers Mormonism a cult or a religion, his answer is a curious one, ‘I think it’s a religion”. The use of ‘I think’ can be taken two ways. Even more interesting though, is without prompting he follows up with “Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?” Now there is a solid hit to get you on first base!
So once again poor Mitt is in damage control mode, and on an appearance on Wednesdays NBC “Today” show he fired back with “I think attacking someone’s religion is really going too far. It’s just not the American way, and I think people will reject that”
You have to love a good clean political campaign! Reuters has a fairly entertaining article about the subject.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackI’m just curious if anyone has ever read the King James version of the Bible.
If they did, it appears that they would label anyone who believed in it as “Cultist”
Lucifer (a.k.a. the Devil) was once the highest angel in heaven, or so the story goes. So you could consider him one of God’s “sons,” just like Jesus, which according to logic would make them “brothers.” Personally I’m waiting for the results of the DNA test.
Why are people so lazy that they cannot just go to lds.org and find the answers themselves?? Look at Romney’s family, personal, professional life how has he gone wrong being Mormon? Too bad we do not have more “perfect families” like his, the country would be much better off.
We needed a Savior to pay for our sins and teach us how to return to our Heavenly Father. Our Father said, “Whom shall I send?” (Abraham 3:27). Two of our brothers offered to help. Our oldest brother, Jesus Christ, who was then called Jehovah, said, “Here am I, send me” (Abraham 3:27)…
Satan, who was called Lucifer, also came, saying, “Behold, here am I, send me, I will be thy son, and I will redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost, and surely I will do it; wherefore give me thine honor” (Moses 4:1).19
It’s pretty clear you guys think they’re brothers, right? And the angels are not sons of God, it says that nowhere in the bible…in fact, it specifically says that Jesus is the only begotten son of God. Huckabee wasn’t too off the mark with this comment.
Huckabee was playing the bigot card.
He was deceptive when he asked the question
claiming that he didn’t know anything
about Mormonism. As far as I am concerned
he is not presidential material.
