re: #364 MandyManners

Why does his religious belief worry you? Do you think he’d try to impose it on the rest of us?

Yes, to some extent. But more that I look at the case of people like Kim Clark, the former dean of Harvard Business School, who stepped down to run BYU-Idaho when the head of the church called him and told him he had to. They believe that the head of the Mormon chuch is a living profit and his word is God’s command. I worry about anyone who claims to be a devoted follower of any religion where God’s word is delivered by any individual. How can you be a devoted follower of that church and still maintain autonomy as a civilian leader. Unless Romney specifically states that he will ignore all instructions or “advice” from the head of the Mormon church, I remain wary.
