Romney's Mormonism

I also noticed that on my political test, Mitt Romney was right behind Duncan Hunter. Mitt Romney is a Mormon, which makes most Christians extremely uncomfortable in thinking about voting for him. Francis Beckwith writes about this topic as well in "First Things," and says that Christians shouldn't dismiss voting for Romney because of his Mormonism.
Here's what Martin Luther says:
"I’d rather be ruled by a competent Turk than an incompetent Christian."

I'm not completely comfortable with the idea, but this does provide me with some things to think through.

Let's analyze that Luther quote. By "Turk" I'm assuming he means "Muslim." Islam is a completely different religion with very few ties to Christianity. Mormonism has taken God's Word and twisted and added to it. It is a very polluted version of Christianity.

Reminds me of Christ speaking to the churches in Revelations. "So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth."
