(CNN) – A pastor of a mega church in Dallas said Friday that Republicans shouldn't vote for White House hopeful Mitt Romney because he's a Mormon and described the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a "cult."
"I think Mitt Romney's a good, moral man, but those of us who are born again followers of Christ should prefer a competent Christian," said Robert Jeffress, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dallas, which has a congregation of about 10,000.
I agree with Jeffress on one thing. Mormonism is a cult but so is every denomination of xtianity. Seriously, when you spend your Sundays prentending to eat the body and drink the blood of a zombie that levatated into the sky, you can't pretend that you're any less cultish than protective underpants wearing, gods of their own planets when they die mormons. It's all nonsense.

This is so annoying!
I personally know several conservative Christians many of whom would not vote for Romney for that very reason, even though they agree with him on most issues. I frankly think it's nothing more than bigotry, but hey, that's just me.
And where the heck do we get this idea that only evangelical Christians can make good presidents? George W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, anyone???
Perry's religious bigot is just another in a long line of wanna be relative to anything group.
