"If Mormonism is so bad, why do some prominent Christian leaders support Romney?" Mary and Peter are biblical figures, but the Catholic church turned them into idols by exalting them next to Jesus. Pro-life and anti-homosexual marriage are biblical positions, but by prioritizing them more than Jesus' honor, those prominent Christian leaders have turned them into today's idols. For example, just after Mitt Romney's December 6, 2007 speech about his Mormonism, two prominent Protestant leaders declared on radio that while Mormonism is “Satanic”, they still may support the Mormon candidate because of his recently crafted anti-abortion and anti-homosexuality positions. Their opposition to abortion is understandable. Annually, abortions in America top 1,300,000, compared to 14,000 reported homicides; almost 99% of America's murders take place in the womb to the most vulnerable victims who cannot even cry out, let alone defend themselves. But ending this horrific atrocity still cannot be prioritized above Jesus' honor and glory, for which all creation exists. How would those leaders respond if Satan offered to overturn Roe vs. Wade and constitutionally ban homosexual marriage? If Satan offered, "All this I will give you," [Satan] said, "if you will bow down and worship me." (Matthew 4:9), will they bow to him? Christians who support Mitt Romney’s candidacy without knowing about Mormonism can claim ignorance as excuse. Christian "leaders" who call for a Mormon President while calling his beliefs “Satanic” are without that excuse.
