Political prospects

OK, this is probably going to piss a few people off. This is why I could never vote for Mitt Romney. Does religion come into play on politics? Does it form policy making decisions? Perhaps not in the way that most people fear like they did when Kennedy ran for office. They thought the Pope would make his decisions. As if. The thing is though, it does affect the way one makes a decision. For Romney, his LDS belief contains the concept of continuing revelation. So, in essence there is no sustainable truth. There could be something that is dictated that is so pertinent and needed it is determined that it will last forever and never be taken from the earth. But, lo and behold, things happen, times change, needs aren't met and that solid truth changes. The LDS have done this with polygamy, who can hold the priesthood and such. Things that were never supposed to change did. For the better? Sure. But this mind set could have dire consequences. What if it was determined that free speech was no longer acceptable? Could someone like Romney deem that this truth our country was founded on should and could change? That's a scary thought. Also anyone who could change their stance in this way when its convenient, could do much harm to our national identity. Personally, if you believe the LDS faith, good for you. But for me, I can't have someone in the highest office in our land who believes it. It is doctrinally unsound and lacks reason. I can not back someone who I need to use reason so effectively that lacks using it in his faith life. I don't know who I'll vote for, but it can't be him.
