Theology

I don't really think that a political campaign should involve a debate over whether Mormons believe that Satan was Jesus's brother, but that's where all the "put the God back in politics" has taken us.

If belief has meaning, then surely the substance of those beliefs matter. Otherwise why do people keep yammering on about them?

And it's funny watching Romney, whose religion strategy seems to involve communicating to conservative Christians that he hates secular people more than any other candidate, crying about "attacks" on his religion.
