Ridiculous, petty little git. Mike and his wife were both mormon, what did Allen think they were going to have, a protestant service? Scientology bash, perhaps? Frickin' idiot.

Am I missing something or are they all christians? Are they not supposed to love and support one another?

The outpouring of christian groups bashing Mitt Romney reminds me a lot of the situation at my uncle's funeral. He's christian, sure, but he's not the right type of christian. What I'd like is for someone to define that for me. The catholics think they've got the direct line to heaven because they were the 'first' christians, the baptists think the catholics are on the fast train to hell, and the fundamentalists think everyone but them are doomed to suffer damnation. The smug enjoyment and sense of superiority this flawed philosophy provides them aside, this rampant elitism among the various sects of the same religion is fairly ironic and at times, downright mean-spirited. It's also the most appalling form of christian hypocrisy to choose the smug satisfaction of sanctimony over the support of your fellow believers.

Let's employ a little logic, shall we? As a public servant he isn't likely to push communal living, polygamy, homosexuality or abortion. He'll campaign on a platform of family values and christian interests, just like every other lying two-faced bastard in the GOP, and he'll pander to the majority religion (of course). What's not for them to like? He's been a politician for years and hasn't done anything that I can see other christians not agreeing with, perhaps the one exception being some flip-floppery on abortion. Besides, he sparred with Ted Kennedy on religious issues and won, which should assure him a warm place in the hearts of the christian majority.

He's republican, conservative and christian. And now he's also a target of the very people he represents for not being part of the correct segment of the majority.

Christians have been arguing amongst themselves since the first group separated themselves from the catholic church. It's bitter, it's ugly and it's the ultimate hypocrisy, but it is certainly not anything new.

However, the public persecution of one of their fellow believers because he belongs to the wrong church, is. It will be fascinating to see how this turns out. I doubt Romney will become president because the fundamentalists are against him, but it will be interesting to see how much father he gets and how many questions he'll have to answer about his faith vs. questions about actual social and economic issues.

Should be quite a race.
