    Do you think it is possible that any person can be true to their religious beliefs while simultaneously being a big time politician in the US?

    Depends on the religion I suppose. Certainly not if the polly is a member of a self proclaimed 'righteous' religion.

    Just curious Skell, which religions would that be?

    None in particular speechless. I just meant if the religion proclaims to be 'righteous', which most do, then it would be impossible for a politician in my opinion to be true to their beliefs.

    If however the religion allowed / practiced lies, deceit and grubby smears against others then the politician would be fine. He / she would have no problems simultaneously being a politician and be true to that particular religion.

    But I'm not sure if such a religion exists.

    Don't fret, it wasn't a shot at religion speechless. More a shot at politicians.

    It's not forbidden to question and harass Mormons. Criticism doesn't have to be true. It has to be strong and constant.

    *** edited, mention to another question and answer site and web site has been deleted. This poster claims to be the Toms777 from another question and answer site, and also form a specific web site** I verified the email address of a complaint on this poster and it came from the real Toms777. This poster would be OK with using this user name, there is no trademark on it, but claiming to be the other expert is not allowed, no fake identity.****

    Question, yes. Harass? That doesn't sound too Christ-like to me.

    Seems to me, Tom, that YOU are the one acting cultish... constantly bash Mormons and Roman Catholics, at any cost, even if the criticism isn't true. That is what you said. That seems pretty extreme, narrow-minded and one-track-minded to me. In other words, cultish. I'm not one to defend ANY Christian sect. But you seem pretty hostile against certain religions to me. How do you feel about Jews?

    First this is not appear to really be Toms777 ( of the one I know) and it is not the owner of the site that is listed. There was a complaint on this poster by the real Toms777, from his email address, which I confirmed though his web site.
