Default evangelicals vs romney, mormonism

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/15/us...eological.html

for one, we supposedly don't have a religious test in this country to hold public office. of course we all know that some like to inject religion where it doesn't belong-in this case the election. a re-tread of the days when some were horrified at the thought of a (gasp) papist taking office when john kennedy was running to become the first roman catholic in the oval office. i'd take the stand that we survived that just fine.

now, when people like to start discussing 'my religion versus yours', i usually think and then say the same thing. they all require a suspension of disbelief, they all are based on faith and not reason. to me no one is better than any other. in other words, i find it silly.
this counry isn't a theocracy-i hope it never, ever becomes one.
