Renaissance of Faith
Pictures from the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s exhibiton.

Officials assured him that most of the people in those shots actually look different from the photographs in real life. They use subtle disguises by changing hair colors and altering the shapes of their jaws to thwart the facial recognition software.
THE SPEECH MITT ROMNEY delivered by video hookup from his bus tour in Western Pennsylvania was solidly conservative, stressing themes of faith and family while promising to roll back Obamacare and overreaching regulation to free the economic engines of the country.
The question-and-answer session that followed did not consist of folks raising hands and voices. Instead people handed slips of paper to Ralph Reed and he chose the three he liked best. Jews in attendance were pleasantly surprised when the third inquired how Romney would differ from Obama’s policies toward Israel.
Romney began: “Well, the first thing I would do is take whatever he is doing and do the exact opposite!” This drew thunderous applause.
Then he added this pithy line: “Sometimes I think Obama is more afraid of Israel attacking Iran than of Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon.” The crowd responded even more loudly to that one.
OKAY, LET ME grab the last word for myself. After hearing all the speakers promise to make Obama into a one-term President, I said this line to Callista Gingrich.
“Obama is a one-term President… but it is not a term I would use in front of a lady!”

Faith, is one of those least understood words and in my opinion not used enough. My wife and I were talking about this very subject over Sunday coffee.
My wife when she was single had two suitors who promised her the moon and the stars. My wife is a woman of deep faith, and steel conviction. Well those suitors didn't stick to their promises.
Then I came along, and due to my wife being burned twice, I was lumped together with them. But, being faithful, I persevered, and eventually won my wife's heart.
During our discussion she asked, "In the beginning of our courtship I didn't believe in you." my answer was simple and direct. "The reason you chose to marry me dear is, your faith."
She smiled, and nodded as she took a sip of her coffee, "Yes, it was my faith, wasn't it."
The point to the above is. Without faith, I or my wife would have not been afforded thirty years of marriage.
God told me, "Melvin, don't screw this one up, she's a keeper." And I answer our Heavenly Father, "Yes she is isn't she," as I get that warm and fuzzy feeling come over me.

Do any of you actually enjoy white trash eschatology; whether Mormon, Christian, or any other? Or is it all about selling books?
Appleby| 6.18.12 @ 7:35AM
I am guessing nobody asked Mr. Romney any leading questions about how his understaqnding of the faith he devoutly practices would directly impact on his view of the way the country ought to be run. I find it curious that Mr. Romney has never actually discussed what he believes. Is he "evolving" from the religion of Battlestar Galactica and tht singularly awful klunker of a movie "Knowing" -- both replete with Mormon theology? Inquiring ex Mormons want to know.
Peppermint Tea | 6.18.12 @ 10:24AM
Funny, I didn't notice any Battlestar Galactica theology in the politics of Mormons Carl Rove, Harry Reid, Mike Leavitt, or others. Why bother with a movie? If you want to find out the theology, you could google "free Book of Mormon," and read it yourself.

It will be good to tweak Christians with golden plates in upstate NY and polygamy.
Skippy| 6.18.12 @ 5:13PM
Look, even I have trouble with a guy finding God's Word "The Sequel" in English on gold plates found conveniently in Upstate NY and then conveniently disappearing, but nobody is insisting that I do.
I don't care if Mormons believe God wears plaid suspenders, as long as their faith makes them happy and doesn't require me to change mine.
Lotta Mormon-fear and distrust around conservative circles these days.
They have lotsa kids, don't drink or join gangs and store tons of food.
And they love America.
Good enough for me!

Galatians 5:1
It is from our Faith that our Liberty derives. The Founders knew it and it is one of the fundamentals upon which our nation and its system of government was built. Liberty comes not from government, but is to be protected by government.
