I am willing to concede that both candidates - and any one else for that matter - may not allow their religion to "control their beliefs." Although isn't that how religion is defined - a system of belief?

Maybe Huntsman is a kinder, gentler Mormon who won't damage your stomach lining. I don't know.

I had a friend who is a lesbian who grew up in the Mormon church. Some of her stories just broke my heart. Her parents married her off at 16, so she could "over come" being gay. Needless to say, it didn't work. And I myself have had some unpleasant encounters with Mormons.

So, maybe my view of the Mormons is distorted. I'll admit that. But I still would rather not have a Mormon president.
