Mormons

I am a conservative, it's true. As crazy as I am, I can say that. So, I hope that today after the announcement of Mitt Romney's suspending his campaign, by his own choosing (or number crunching)...people can see what he's made of. He is a normal member of the human race. He has his views that are vibrant and truthful. And in my opinion, correct. Now I know that we are all different, hopefully so. But, I believe that Romney's religion was really a factor in his running and finally leaving the campaign. I think that a lot of people have no idea what a Mormon is and believes. I believe that others have "dissed" the Mormon religion to the extent that they will not even TRY to understand it's basic beliefs...and become very intolerant of the difference. I find this so sad ...the intolerance of others. There is no discussion, no compassion...just don't even mention it.
I am a Mormon. I don't think of myself as a cult member. I choose for myself. And, I chose for myself to be baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am saddened that there cannot really be a seperation of Church and State in this world. And, I'm sure that goes for debate too.
I guess my point is, is that Romney didn't possibly get a number of votes because he's Mormon. Now that the public has heard what he believes for our country, maybe we can all see where he stands and what an honorable man he is. He has standards, morals and civic responsibility. He's a respected man to many. Now, perhaps, people can see that being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a beacon in the night. Being a member of that faith is a treasure. Perhaps that is one of Mitt Romney's roles in life.
I am proud of my faith. It is the way I live. I don't just "talk the talk". I walk the walk. I am far from perfect...as my family knows. But, the testimony I hold is strong. And, I know that Mitt Romney feels the same about his testimony.
May we as a country, be strong and tolerant of one another. We all are different. But, we can certainly work together and pray together as a country...and with one another.
