what the 'born again' Southern Baptist gave us in Jimmy Carter? Long, long gas lines and interest rates in the 20%'s. He isn't even a nice person, has accomplished little and finds it so easy to criticize others - really uncouth - for a former president who should have returned to peanut farming while Reagan got our economy moving again.

He is still trying to rebuild himself by finding other to tear down. Guess he doesn't like being known as the worst President in recent history.

Let's think again before judging character by the church one attends. People are known by their fruits - not what religious dogma they embrace.

I don't care for Jimmy Carter, and I like Mitt Romney, and I am going to vote for him in the primaries. If he wins the primaries I will vote for him for president. I am a devout Christian and not a Mormon I don't care about his religious belief. The important thing is how he will be a good president, and I think he would.

I'm a Christian, but I think it's always a terrible idea to choose a leader based on his religion. I think the ideal President would be an agnostic, or at least someone not affiliated with any specific church, so he would lead according to the Constitution and not some misguided notion of what the special interest groups want.
[edit]
On second thought, I really don't care what the President's religion is as long as he keeps it to himself and doesn't shove it in our faces or make decisions based on it, but there hasn't been a Republican President since Nixon who didn't act like he thought he was the second coming of Christ. Bush is the worst of all, making a big show of consulting with the Pope on stem cell research. Bush isn't even Catholic! That's the ultimate in hypocrisy.

no possible flow from a "incorrect" faith to the "top" faith except that's shown and often conventional what the "top faith" is. no count number which one you assert, there will be a great team of human beings (which contain Mormons) who will passionately disagree, for as deeply-believed motives as any you may think of up, and a great variety of being precisely a similar ones! Such variations in opinion are what each and every of the distant places wars and assaults are approximately, too. that's like asserting 'too undesirable, you're a staggering person in any different case, yet your fashionable shade/meals/quantity/etc. is the "incorrect" one.' you have the ideal to have faith that with all your heart, yet his perception is not any sillier than yours except God has counseled you and something of the planet individually without room for doubt! The Bible at one time replaced into an entire library of books; quite a few hundred years in the past a council replaced into formed and a king chosen those he cherished and placed those few books into one binding, which we now seek advice from as a results of fact the Bible. jointly as that's a important artwork, in case you view it as God's observe, that's lacking somewhat a great variety of chapters, so it could nevertheless pay to maintain an open recommendations approximately what guy bumped off...and in case you profess to be Christian, do no longer decide others--that's God's activity besides. ;-)

Honestly, Mormons have such great values, we never would have to worry about Mitt Romney embarrassing the USA. I totally agree with you about Jimmy Carter. He should be banished from the Baptist church. (I don't think he is Southern Baptist because he is pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage and pro-embryonic stem cell research)

I really feel strongly that people should not judge by religion. Its called discrimination. Many of our presidents, like you have pointed out, have had their religious beliefs, but it has not been a big conflict until now.

You are correct. Carter is trying to save face right now because he knows he is going down as the worst President of our time.

I've voted for people who don't share my faith and probably will again. I wouldn't hesitate to vote for Romney over someone like Carter even if they did share my faith (like Carter does). Romney's definitely one of my top choices from what I've seen so far.

1) Reagan DID get our economy moving. Downwards.

2) What are Romney's positions? I mean, today...not yesterday.

3) Carter had principles..including maintaining our long-standing tradition of not trading arms for hostages/ rewarding terrorism. Something sadly, Reagan abandoned.

4) Democrats already have a Mormon (and a Catholic) in our highest held offices. Which party discrimnates against them? We'll see when the GOP primaries begin.

A person's religious dogma plays a big role in their moral structure...and I have a hard time trusting anyone who embraces secret underware. =P

I hope he does win the republican primary. The religious portion of the Republican party can be equally as sectarian as the people perpetuating violence in Iraq. It would give the Democratic candidate a boost.
