Politics and Religion shouldn't mix....

Want to know why I could care less about talking politics? That would be because our political system and electoral ways are based around what a person's religious beliefs are. Instead of caring about how a Presidential candidate plans on fixing our healthcare system or the War in Iraq, the majority of America (the religious right) cares about a candidate's religion. Case in point, would be the upcoming Mitt Romney speech which is being compared to JFK's speech in which he had to reassure voters that the Pope wouldn't be running the country using JFK as his puppet. They interviewed Richard Land, a Southern Baptist leader, who had this to say about voting for Mitt Romney, a Mormon:

"I do not believe that Mormonism is an orthodox, trinitarian, apostolic Christian religion, but that would not keep me from voting for a Mormon," Land said. "I would vote for a Mormon who agreed with me on important issues like abortion and same-sex marriage"

This is why I have a disgust for born-again Christians and don't care to talk about politics...
