interview. br> -- Brendan R. Merrick br> Budd Lake, New Jersey /p> p> I am afraid that Jay D. Homnick does not seem to get it when it comes to Romney's Mormonism. Many Christians consider Mormonism to be little more than a cult, especially conservative Christians. It is lumped into the same category as Jehovah's Witnesses. For that matter, many conservative Christians view Seventh Day Adventists with suspicion. Not quite a cult, but not quite Christian either. Hatch and Reid are being elected by regional constituencies. There is a categorical difference in power wielded between a Governorship or the U.S. Senate and the Presidency. Given the power of the Vatican in world affairs, people were right to worry about the influence the Pope might wield over a U.S. president. Just the same, people are justified in worrying about the influence a cult could wield over the president. The fact that his stand on abortion or gay rights is the same as many Christians has nothing to do with it. The point is how much power will a cult wield over our president? You may not like people thinking these thoughts or asking these questions. It may be horribly politically incorrect to do so. But longstanding and ingrained teachings about Mormonism will not be overcome because Romney is telegenic and has the right stand on social issues. br> -- Steve Baarda br> London, Ontario /p> p> LIFE IS UNFAIR br> Re: The Washington Prowler's Here Royal Fairness :
