MITT ROMNEY TAKES THE TEST

Well! What do you think? Is the constitution safer with a Mormon or a Baptist pastor Article 6 of the constitution states that" ...no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."

"I will take care to separate the affairs of government from any religion, but I will not separate us from the God who gave us liberty," he said.WHERE DID HE GET THAT FROM?

"While differences in theology exist between the churches in America, we share a common creed of moral convictions," he said. THE MORALITY OF STONING AN ADULTEROUS WIFE IS A MUSLIM CONVICTION IS THAT THE SAME AS HIS CONVICTION.
"No candidate should become the spokesman for his faith. For if he becomes president, he will need the prayers of the people of all faiths," he said.

It seems to me Mitt was not embracing the foundation of article 6 test but rather giving his "QUALIFICATIONS" His Religious beliefs as a "CHRISTIAN"
He made a connection of Morality to God. Whose Morality? Whose GOD! OH Jesus Christ.
It seems to me the Republican party has embraced the Religious test. All of their candidates are running around trying to get endorsements from religious leaders. The so called or self proclaimed Moral Majority or today's coined word socially conservative Republican Base.

"Freedom requires religion just as religion requires freedom. Freedom opens the windows of the soul so that man can discover his most profound beliefs and commune with God. Freedom and religion endure together, or perish alone."

WHAT!!!! WHATTTTTTT! Where in the hell did he get this? Since when does freedom require religion?

"A person should not be elected because of his faith, nor should he be rejected because of his faith. Let me assure you that no authorities of my church, or of any other church for that matter, will ever exert influence on presidential decisions. Their authority is theirs within the province of church affairs, and it ends where the affairs of the nation begin. As governor, I tried to do the right, as best I knew it, serving the law and answering to the Constitution. I did not confuse the particular teachings of my church with the obligations of the office and of the Constitution. And, of course, I would not do so as president. I will put no doctrine of any church above the plain duties of the office and the sovereign authority of the law."

"The founders proscribed the establishment of a state religion, but they did not countenance the elimination of religion from the public square. We are a nation 'Under God' and in God, we do indeed trust."

In God We trust did not become a part of the Unite States motto until 1956 almost 200 years after our Declaration of independence.
It wasn't until 2003 Georgia put it on it's flag and Jeb Bush made it Florida's state seal and therefore on its flag as well.
I fear more the anything the falling of our country to the dogma of religion the stifling of scientific progress the suffocation of personal freedom to a religious base with limited sense of reason based solely on religion and an all knowing "GOD" ALLAH or most likely the person who can get people to follow him based on the belief in a GOD LIKE JIM JONES , OSOMA BIN LADEN or PAT ROBERTSON. That is the FEAR I FEAR MOST!
