Ms. Mosteller has misinformed on several of the LDS beliefs. She should study and explain her own religion’s history, not what she may think is someone else’s belief. As Matthew 7:3 – 4 states, “….why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? or how will thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and behold, a beam is in thine own eye? When she rails against The Church of JESUS CHIST of Latter Day Saints for what she thinks may or may not have happened in its’ history, she doesn’t mention things that were done by other Christian Churches throughout history. In the earlier days, slavery in this country were supported by Christians, who chained, whipped and hung slaves. LDS have always been abolitionist. In fact, in earlier days, the members of The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter Day Saints had been persecuted, drived from state to state, and even murdered by fellow Christians. Several other Christian churches today are still divided by racial divisions. It wasn’t the LDS that killed thousands of men, children, and mostly women because they were falsely accused of being WITCHES. LDS do have some unfortunate things (Mountain Meadows) that were done by some of its’ members that they are not proud of, but when others accuse the LDS of some of these things, they need to look at their own churches’ history and they will mostly likely find things that they will not be proud of as well.

Romney is running for president, not president of a church or whatever.
It is his ability to grasp issues affecting the country is what will matter,
not which place of worship he attends. Romney made abundently clear
his religious beliefs will have no bearing on decisions he will be required
to make as president. His sole intention will be what is best for the people
of USA.

She is such a joke. Fred Thompson is making a mistake having this woman on his campaign. She has no credibility.

The second sentence is, alas, incorrect. Scientists (particularly the ones achieving the aforementioned “breakthroughs”) are telling us that they need funding for embryonic stem cell research to move this work forward. I’m pretty sure they’re more qualified to tell us what science is saying than Cyndi Mosteller, unless she got a PhD in molecular biology in seminary. I’d be glad to provide some references if you’d like them.

I think it’s possible to defend the ban on funding embryonic stem cell research without making false statements. Stating clearly that you believe that life begins at conception and that destroying embryos is therefore immoral is the most honest way to frame this debate. Having non-scientists make unsupported scientific assertions just makes conservatives look bad.

It is for Christ to decide who is Christian, I can understand this kind of rheotric from Bloggers and pundits, but from a campaign advisor it is enough to expect a resignation.

That is going to make the link back to the Thompson campaign a little too easy…this “interview” included.
