blue bits. red rocks.

So why would Mitt Romney call himself a “pastor” when he never would have referred to himself as a “pastor” when he was in leadership and none of the people he led would have called him that either? Maybe saying “I served as a bishop and stake president” sounds too weird and alien to evangelical voters ears? Perhaps using those terms would remind evangelical voters that he is part of a religion that historically called orthodox Christianity heretical and an abomination in God’s eyes? Make no mistake. Mitt Romney is quite literally trying to become a wolf among the sheep and his job is made easier because the sheep have no idea what wolves look like. So many Christians think that Mitt Romney “shares our values” because he claims to be pro-life (at least when it comes to abortion). As a Christian, I can think of very few values that I would think Mitt Romney has in common with me because my values are formed by my faith in Christ, a faith that Mitt Romney does not share and in fact actively rejects. He talks about God but the “god” he worships is one of many in a polytheistic pantheon and is not the God we read of in the Bible. He says that we are all “children of the same God” but he means that literally in the sense of being offspring from a procreative act. Pastor Romney
