I never thought I would discuss religion so much on this blog. I especially never thought Republicans would be so bone headed as to make it an issue in the presidential campaign.

But, here we go again.

Is Mormonism a cult?

When it was first formed, yes. But...so was Christianity when it first formed. It was a Jewish Cult.

Unlike Islam, though, or today's cults like the cults that have killed themselves due to comets, supposed invasion, or putting firewood up against the door when the government was using incendiary rounds, those that have followed the Mormon faith have allowed themselves to adapt to make their faith less of a cult and more mainstream.

Yet, here we have the bigots going after them yet again in the press and on the campaign.

Meanwhile, someone with a blatantly Islamic background, due to his own name, is not asked one iota of questions about his faith, whether he's a Muslim or not, or other questions that could actually impact the security of the country. Nor is someone who funds a major leftist organization asked about his cult, Scientology. Nope. Those cults we don't talk about. We have to dredge out attacks that are over a hundred years old against the one 'semi-complete' package conservative that has popularity.

Nice job, Huckabee.
