An interesting point. Though the ultimate origin of Christianity
remains obscure, we know exactly when, where, and by whom Mormonism was
invented. Nonetheless a Mormon nearly became a candidate for the the
most powerful political post in the world. What next, a Scientologist?

That guy wants us very badly to click the link to his site.

I am not doing it.

It appears he is yet another believer desperate to spread his spin on
god.

Take up knitting, you would look less ridiculous.

As long as they understand and support secular government, I wouldn>t
have a problem with a Mormon or Scientologist. Are their beliefs really
any weirder than those of mainstream Christians?

A man with absurd religious beliefs, but whom I nevertheless admire, said:

"Democracy demands that the religiously motivated translate their
concerns into universal, rather than religion-specific, values. It
requires that their proposals be subject to argument, and amenable to
reason. I may be opposed to abortion for religious reasons, but if I
seek to pass a law banning the practice, I cannot simply point to the
teachings of my church or evoke God>s will. I have to explain why
abortion violates some principle that is accessible to people of all
faiths, including those with no faith at all.

"Now this is going to be difficult for some who believe in the inerrancy
of the Bible, as many evangelicals do. But in a pluralistic democracy,
we have no choice. Politics depends on our ability to persuade each
other of common aims based on a common reality. It involves the
compromise, the art of what>s possible. At some fundamental level,
religion does not allow for compromise. It>s the art of the impossible.
If God has spoken, then followers are expected to live up to God>s
edicts, regardless of the consequences. To base one>s life on such
uncompromising commitments may be sublime, but to base our policy making
on such commitments would be a dangerous thing." --B. H. Obama, 28 June 2006
