Evangelicals vs. Mitt Romney (Opinion)
Daily Herald - Evangelicals vs. Mitt Romney:
"One of the supposedly insurmountable obstacles Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney could face in a presidential run is the GOP's evangelical Christian base. Evangelicals typically do not view Mormons as genuine 'Christians' because of doctrinal differences on the nature of God and the rules of salvation. They view them as cultists.
We're not sure why evangelicals would worry about such labels, especially since no flavor of faith can be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. Faith is a purely personal matter. Anyone with faith in God has already taken the plunge into the realm of the supernatural and therefore loses any right to criticize others who have done the same."
