He gives no indication that he believes in heaven or hell, in the divinity of Jesus Christ or in the Trinity. He has a laughable definition of "sin." Having read this interview, it is readily apparent his Christianity is a "beard," for whatever his true religion or moral philosophy is. This may come as no surprise to some, but to read his answers to these questions strips away any doubt that he professes to be a Christian for political gain, not out of conviction.KenTrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03693785695933453449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-6592838761337878312012-09-05T09:36:54.880-05:002012-09-05T09:36:54.880-05:00Mormonism is a perfect example of 19th c American ...Mormonism is a perfect example of 19th c American religious eclecticism. The last half of the 19c in the US was a foreshadowing of the last half of the 20th. Loony social experimentation, attempts at utopian communes, hippes, etc.Fr.
