#1 Keller is apparently a rising star in the televangelism world.

'Dr. Phil' of prayer to hit national TV

God's Man For the Internet Age

Keller's site

World Net Daily was apparently pretty enthusiastic about him until the Romney screed.

#3 Look, the Mormons do believe in some pretty strange crap. But as long as Romney doesn't demand that everyone convert, get temple marriages and baptize their dead relatives, I could care less what church he goes to on Sunday.

I bet if Mr Keller would have been around back in 1960, he would have said that a vote for Kennedy was a vote to put the Pope in charge of the US.

#4 Know what you mean, SB. My dad married a Mormon woman after he and my mom divorced. He converted, mostly to please her I think.
Some years later, when I was in my late 20s, I was depressed about a broken engagement. I talked to Dad on the phone and he finally got me to consent to visit with a couple of Mormon missionaries if he could arrange it.
I was in Lubbock, Texas and Dad was in Carlisle, England; but the well-groomed missionaries showed up at my door within the hour.
Nice chaps, and they gave me a copy of their book, complete with a photo of the nice Utah family who had donated it. I read it cover to cover. It reminded me a lot of Lord of the Rings for some reason.

#6 Whether you accept any or all of the tenets of the Mormon faith, my experience has been that they are very honest, hard-working people who hold an extremely strong appreciation for education and the United States Constitution. As a group, one would have to look very hard to find one more patriotic. I've also seen that the military thinks Mormons are absolutely wonderful; they, as a religious group, are overrepresented there relative to their percentage of the U.S. population. As for Mitt Romney, I'm not sure he's the best choice for president, but of all the people running, he's sure the one I'd like most on my board of directors if I was starting a business. The man certainly knows how to get things done.

#8 Now le's get to the fundamental? Do the Moromons beheadd people, slam planesaganist buildings, incite four year old children to become suicide bombers, call for the extermination of non-mormons?

#9 The Book of Mormon is about as believeable as the Quran. Both fantasy. But the two populations have turned out radically different. Mormons are very respectable in the lives and actions they lead. Muslims are despicable and totally untrustworthy and useless. Mormons are hard workers and honest. I come from the area around Nauvoo, Illinois where they had settled after being driven out of Ohio. Illinois was worse for them and locals started lynching them and burning their churches(Temples). So they crossed the Mississippi on ice at night to escape to an unknown place which became Salt Lake City. The remains they left behind at Nauvoo are impressive even to this day.

#10 To steal a quote, "televangelists are the pro wrestlers of religion."

#12 Romney is a good example of a good Mormon/good citizen, someone you would love to have as a friend and neighbor. Harry Reid? Not so much

South Park had a good episode on Mormons. They ridiculed the beliefs but defended the believers as decent, utterly honest and good citizens. Certainly the kind of people you'd want to have as neighbors.

#14 Wait, Harry Reid's a Mormon ? The guy's a crook.

#15 I'd take a Mormon as a neighbor over a Democrat, any day.

#16 Mormons are overrepresented in the IC back office as well. Not as overrepresented as us Catholics (far more than in the general population). But more Mormons per capita than in the general population - and they're good folks.

If Romney is Satan, then whats left for Hillary? We don't have a standby title for her, dang it.
