Romney, Huckabee Take Wrong Path
The Capital Times :: EDITORIAL :: A9

Dear Editor: I won't vote for a Mormon (Mitt Romney) or a fundamentalist Baptist (Mike Huckabee) for the same reason - they both follow authoritarian religions.
Generally, their faith understanding is that truth is delivered from on high from God directly to prophets or through an inerrant document, that they can understand it fully and rightly, and that they must impose those understandings on everyone else. This too often becomes theocracy.
Political leaders who claim God is on their side are very dangerous!
Rev. Dave Steffenson, Madison
