Re: Is It OK To Have A Mormon President?

1. He doesn't think his beliefs are self evident. In other words he doesn't believe that any rational person, upon examining the evidence, would be dumb to disbelieve in Mormonism. Because if he did believe that, it means that it is he, who can't think straight. ( Of course it is true that I would say this regarding any religion, including yours . But you can't use that fact as a reason to reject this line of thinking regarding Mormons. Because you agree with me that you cannot arrive at Mormonism through rational thought and investigation.)

Excluding any specific religion....Would you say the same thing about a general belief in God? Mormon Joe gives a speech at a campaign stop and says, "The mormon religion isn't self evident, but God is." And to himself he then says "Anyone who doesn't believe that is dumb". Do you think that guy make a good candidate?

That's a close one. Especially if he includes a non personal God.
