Politics Merle? Really? Why not just come out and say that rich white
male = Antichrist in your mind! *L*
IMWO - Since you asked - I don't think its likely Romney has that
particular flavor of delusion. He's too dorky, and Mormons already have
their stories of Jesus' return. Whether crazy not/creepy or not in a
big hair big smiles 'Stepford Wife' way, they seem to to be pretty
ordinary folks and focus on taking care of people and other 'more
positive' delusions. In other words, as a group, they seem to be at
least as 'Christian' as any others - without making it about that.
Worst case - some misguided 'good intentions' and over-estimation of
abilities - same as anyone else crazy enough to want that job (like the
one holding it now who, also seems to really believe we need him there).
Romney's weakness is he comes off as too '1950's American Dream'
American. Sincere or BS, no one believes it anymore. While many have a
sense of nostalgia for it, none really want to go back - they just want
the government to have their backs/get off their backs.

We all are "the second coming of Christ [not of Jesus - but of
"Christ"]. Teaching point to realization. We all have/are the
potential to realize this - for this to be realized - all have/are
Buddha nature - to awaken to (call it what you like). That's the point
of the teachings. Otherwise why come to teach the 'first' time?
Applies to equally Jesus' or Buddha's story.
The whole 'give a man a fish/teach a man to fish' schtick.
Surely you have always realized this?! *L*

Merle,
In one of your posts a long time ago and far, far away (that means I
couldn't find it) you castigated me for stating that Christians and
Muslims did bad things during the Crusades in the name of their
religions. You used a quote of Jesus from the Bible and I think it was:
"Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a
stone... - John 8:7 (English Standard Version)
I have already stated in an early post (an even longer time ago and
further away) that I considered myself pretty knowledgeable about
Christianity and very knowledgeable about the teaching of Jesus. I
didn't respond to this part of your post at that time because I
didn't consider this quote really relevant to our discussion, but I
would like to respond now.
I am without sin so would be eligible to throw stones if and when the
situation calls for that.
...Bill!
