FAITH VS. THE FAITHLESS

David Brooks has an interesting piece in the New York Times. It is one that I totally disagree with. Brooks says that Mitt Romney, in not addressing the issue of non-believers in his speech of yesterday, has inadvertently continued the war in America between the religious and the non-religious. Nothing could be further from the truth. Why in the world would a person who faithfully practices his faith and has a strong belief in God want to address someone who does not? I felt that Governor Romney's speech was ill-conceived because it did not address the issues that trouble so many non-Mormons, the mysteries of the Mormon religion as it is practiced. I do not believe that the majority of the American people are bigoted. I do believe that they will not vote for a candidate that they are not comfortable with. That is where Mitt Romney is at.
