In reply to the discussion: I have lost much respect for Mormons in getting to know Romney [View all]lunatica
(53,410 posts)24. How convenient for him
His religion not only allows him to lie but evidently it's OK to make a profit by hurting people in the process by taking away their jobs so he can be rich and President. No wonder he's so religious.
I suspect though, that Romney's Mormonism is not every Mormon's Mormonism. Just like all other religions. For example, lots of Christians think that if they're successful and rich it means God favors them, so how they get that way is therefore OK since God allowed them to make their wealth by taking jobs or whatever away from others. It's pure logic. If God didn't want them to use other people to get rich then God wouldn't allow it. See?

Having done business with Mormons it seems to me that they have two sets of standards.

So you are now basing your opinion about an entire religion on the actions of one man?
