Most would say that Mitt Romney’s religious views are Mormon, but Joseph Farah makes the argument that Romney is more secular humanist than Mormon based on his answer to a Tim Russert question:
Asked by the host for clarification on whether he supports the Employment Non-discrimination Act, a bill the former governor previously said he would enthusiastically co-sponsor at the federal level, Romney said: "At the state level. I think it makes sense at the state level for states to put in provision of this. I would not support at the federal level, and I changed in that regard because I think that policy makes more sense to be evaluated or to be implemented at the state level."
Now, before you cast a ballot for Mitt Romney in the Republican primaries or caucuses, I want you to think about what this means.
Let's say you're an employer who has set certain standards of behavior for your employees Among the requirements is that employees dress appropriately and in ways that will not turn off customers.
Then one day, a male employee comes to work dressed as a female. This new law, supported by Romney, would forbid you from firing a transvestite, because he is merely expressing his sexual orientation.
These laws also would mandate you, as a Christian employer, from rejecting an applicant based on such inappropriate behavior in a job interview. As a Christian landlord, you would be forced to rent out apartments to unmarried couples, same-sex couples, etc.
Somehow, Romney defines laws like this as expansions of freedom. I define them as strict new state control over your property rights and heinous violations of your morality.
In other words, Romney would support efforts by secular humanists to impose, under the coercive power of the state, their religious values that suggest all sexual behavior is appropriate and equal on Christians and Jews who disagree.
I don't know about you, but this is one of the reasons I fled California.
I wonder how Romney's Mormon constituents view this aberrant and abominable position.
And there were plenty of pro-life Christians who wondered what the heck was going on with those Pastors for Moral Choice. And if you have been reading this web site, you will know that the pro-abortion Pastors were promoting humanism, not Christianity.
And for those who think I call all those who disagree with me as being "secular humanists, you need to read Humanist Manifest II. And in regard to the above worldview analysis regarding Romney and the Pastors for Moral Choice, this excerpt from the Humanist Manifest II applies:
In the area of sexuality, we believe that intolerant attitudes, often cultivated by orthodox religions and puritanical cultures, unduly repress sexual conduct. The right to birth control, abortion, and divorce should be recognized.
That position is anti-Christian, anti-family, and anti-American, at least in the traditional sense of being American. That position also creates division and promotes hatred toward Christians and conservatives. It is those on the far-left who are intolerant.
