(Editor’s note: The following views are solely those of the author.)
The experts are wringing their hands trying to figure out why Romney didn’t win, but now we know; the 14 million missing voters from Romney’s column are Evangelicals.
Evangelical Christians may not be evil people, but they helped an evil president become an evil dictator on Tuesday. The exact numbers aren’t in; but clearly, the vast majority of Evangelicals stayed home on Election Day. They weren’t dealing with a storm or a personal family emergency. They stayed home because they made a conscious decision to allow our Marxist enemy to continue ruining our lives rather than have Mormon Mitt Romney as our president.
They draw their grounds for such a twisted thought from their interpretation of the Bible, which they take literally – except of course for the part about handling poisonous snakes; that’s where a more modern interpretation of Scripture takes hold.
The Evangelicals’ hatred of Romney burns so brightly it blinded them. Self- flagellation and a willingness to aid and abet a clear enemy became preferable to them – consequences be damned.
Evangelicals profess to be pro-life, against gay “marriage”, for religious freedom, for a strong protective bond with Israel, and for a strong and effective military. Yet on Tuesday, they stayed away by the millions and imperiled all they say they believe in.
They stood on principle, so they will say, so they hate the Republican Party for nominating Romney as well. They did not even consider the danger they put America in – Romney and the RNC hurt their feelings, and they wanted the “revenge” Barack Obama urged.
Skipping the top line for the sake of saving America never occurred to our Evangelical neighbors. If Evangelicals had just done this, we would have a Republican Senate and a stronger hold on the House. If they had done this, much of what they care about could have been saved – but they stayed home.
They stay home to punish us all; and what’s more, they lied to pollsters.
How else could the survey reports from honest pollsters be so tortured? They acted like the 1/3 of colonists who joined the British in their attempt to keep freedom-loving Americans in chains, and they are no better. Isn’t it the Koran that permits lying to further an adherent’s cause or a person’s cause?
How do we ever trust people who would indulge themselves so slavishly at our expense?
Wouldn’t/Shouldn’t an honest evaluation of their situation lead Evangelicals to merely cancel their voter registration? There are many groups who live among us but refuse to be part of us. They don’t register to vote. Why shouldn’t the Evangelicals do the same? That would give those of us in the patriotic 1/3 a clearer picture of what and who we are fighting.
Obviously, conservatism was not defeated Tuesday. It lost in a fixed fight that started with a sucker punch thrown by subversives who falsely proclaim allegiance to conservatism. Nevertheless, we the patriots of America lost on Tuesday, and it makes little difference whether the telling blow was delivered from the left or the right.
The outcome was the same.

Where’s your EVIDENCE of this?
I think you probably work for o’bama and your AGENDA is to continue to try to FURTHER DIVIDE the country. You want folks to go against those who KNOW o’bama AND romney are BOTH FRAUDS, one being a muslim and the other belonging to the mormon CULT.
You are DISGUSTING and probably voted for o’bama!
Christians would not vote for the Mormon. Told ya. Told may sites in comment opportunities. Was panicking knowing we were betrayed by the GOP. BETRAYED!! Suckups to Neocons. We saw the Mormon groomed through the Debates and Ron Paul elbowed out. Santorum has been a staunch supporter of Israel for years and was certain of the loyalty of his “friends” in Florida. Man did he ever get a surprise. The expression on his face told it all. Jews in Florida dropped him and latched on to the Mormon because Mormonism does not hold Jesus Christ as Son of God, Saviour, does not value the crucifix or salvation through Christ. They deny the trinity. Guess enough Christians found out about their organization’s founding, agenda, and doctrine. Santorum will never work for the Jews again. He learned TRUTH. We witnessed GOP Delegate Convention bash Ron Paul’s Delegates and ignore cries of POINT OF ORDER POINT OF ORDER when the GOP idiots ignored them. We saw the Mormon yanked over to Israel like a puppet to stand there and tell the world Jerusalem is the Capital of Israel. NOT. Any CHRISTIAN knows that Tel Aviv was set as the Capital and Jerusalem as an “international city” because of its importance to several religious groups. Not good ’nuff for Israel… they want it alllll. Well you got it. We know you will never learn to keep your beaks out of US politics so we will have to get all of your reps out of our government, education, medical and every other facet of our country. The Mormon was a Willing Willard for the Neocons and we found that out, too. Brush Hands. Don’t come back, Male Mannequin Mormon. We will punish the GOP severely and it will fold by next election. New party will emerge and be very welcome. Tea Party Patriots! Careful… not Tea Party Express… infiltrated.
Why don’t you get your facts straight before you post your ignorant rants? I AM a Christian. I VOTED for Romney. I CAMPAIGNED for Romney. And I was not the only one in my area. THOUSANDS of other Christians did the same. As for you spewing that Mormans do not believe Jesus Christ was the Son of God, really shows your stupidity!! It is the current Catholic POPE that has that belief. His saying exactly that is in a video on YouTube! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIvbCoaRr7w&feature=related Before you start bashing Christians AND the Mormans, get your facts straight. As for millions of Christians NOT voting for Romney, compare that to millions of Christians that did not stick to their faith and DID vote for Obama. Anybody that DID for for that Muslim heathen is NOT a true Christian.
Dr. Kevin “Coach” Collins –
I am a Evangelical Christian and I voted against Obama here in Illinois when he was a senator because of his stand on abortion… And for just that reason alone I voted against him Tuesday. True. I was not happy with Romney but that certainly would not stop me from voting for him over Obama.
I take great offense against your article…. Therefore, I shall bypass all of your articles in the future… I am sure that will not upset such an arrogant ___ hole, but hopefully many more will agree with me.
Don’t you think your anger is a little misplaced? Of course, not all Evangelicals stayed home. You didn’t stay home; but, you cannot deny the mistrust that Evangelicals have for Mormons. It was widely reported for months, and many people of goodwill did what they could to bridge the gap between Romney and the evangelicals I hope you won’t bypass this site because of one article that may be true.
Ron Paul was not on the GOP Ticket, but you can be sure I Voted for him. God Expects us to Vote our Conscience. If your conscience says not to vote for either of the first two, then Vote for the Godly Choice as I did.
They are all waiting for the RAPTURE that HAL LINDSEY talked about when he said if you see the Tribulation from the ground, YOU WERE LEFT BEHIND. That is WHY they don’t feel the Need to VOTE. Boy will they be Shocked when the Tribulation starts, and they are still here. Maybe they need to read MATT 24:16 > In Jesus own words, he tells what to look for, and what will happen to those who were not ready. The Parable of the Ten Virgins is a Good Example of that time.
While many Evangelicals voted for Romney on the basis of his stances on abortion, other family values, and the economy, I feel we can blame the sizable number of Evangelicals who would not vote for a “Mormon”.
For their “purity” we can now kiss freedom of religion goodby.
For their “purity” we can now say goodby to private enterprise and self-reliance.
For their “purity” we can now lament the loss of freedom of speech.
For their “purity” we can look back at the greatest days of USmerica.
For their “purity” we can now look forward to telling our children how it was to own firearms.
For their “purity” we can now anticipate having our doors kicked down as armed, badge-carrying men in fancy hats accost our wives and us at 2:00AM for “crimes against the state”.
For their “purity” we can now unfailingly know that our children will be forced to go to government-run, tax-funded welfare schools and learn that our values are “old fashioned” and must be eradicated. Same-sex “marriage” will be the norm (for those who marry at all), and that ba§tardy is not only “harmless” but the best condition for children: fathers will be good for nothing but sperm.
Oh, but they will be “pure”. They’ll face their Jesus and say, “Yea, Thou knowest I love thee, Lord: I didn’t vote for that ‘Mormon’.” I know this because we have seen more than one of these “pure” Evangelicals say that he’d rather see USmerica go to **** than vote for a “Mormon”.
Well, while you’re roasting in the temporal hell of the Union of Smerican Socialist Republics, don’t blame me (although I’ll be suffering right along with the rest of you), I voted for the “Mormon”.
Mr. O’bama, will there ever be any Jobs?
Ya gotta take a stand sometime… but it takes character. We now have Obbbba in an Oval Office Cage. We will reveal his hidden promoters and get all of his history records and have a lot of trials for him and his controllers, and put them in Federal pens. Biden will run away, Pelosi will not stay now, and we will peal down to someone who will be afraid of citizens, the way it is supposed to be. When the government is afraid of citizens you have democracy and freedom. When the citizens are afraid of the government, you have tyranny.
I agree one hundred percent! Had friends of mine who told me without my asking that they ‘just couldn’t vote for a Mormon’, so they stayed home! Really! Just like others told me they wouldn’t vote for Romney because their taxes would go up! Even if that’s true all it means is that you are voting for YOURSELF, whether for ‘religious’ or ‘financial’ reasons you identify. Your “purity” is offended in some way so to soothe your offense, like a good Pharisee, you refuse to do the good you could and thus enable the evil you decry! Or your ‘pocketbook’ is offended so you choose perceived security over common sense and citizenship! By doing so the effect is identical to above, the threat you fear financially is enabled all the swifter because of pride or indifference. Lord help us now! We sorely need it!
when you stay home for those reasons, as apparently 14,000,000 ‘evangelicals’ did, and how much did Romney lose by again?
So basically what you’re saying here Coach is that the “Ostrich” approach taken by these people didn’t work. By sticking their heads in the sand they allowed Obama to win and with the look of surprise he had on his face Tuesday night he himself couldn’t believe it either(as in just how stupid can Americans really be?). Well you can lead an elephant to water but you can’t make him drink. If this analogy is correct then Ross Parrow(sp?) rode again in 2012.
Evangelicals stayed home rather than vote for a Mormon over a Muslim (Obama)? DISGRACEFUL! Are they all NUTS and UNINFORMED?? Here is my personal analysis of election and future months ahead: OBAMA, DO NOT APPOINT SUSAN RICE TO NEW SECRETARY OF STATE! YOU’LL BE SORRY! My Personal Analysis Of Final Outcome Of 2012 Election In America: Heard on TV/Internet: “You cannot beat Santa Claus” comparing Romney/Ryan to Obama/Biden’s 4 more year win-Meaning EVERY Ethnic American Wants/Needs Federal Government assistance for food, education, healthcare, milk for babies, free trips abroad for environmental/ocean research/studies, etc.. Even Puerto Rico fights now for Statehood and will probably be a U.S.State within 4 years. Also, back in the 1980′s husband worked in P.R.to assist building a pork packing plant there. He was shocked to learn with the payroll checks to workers, they were all drawing welfare checks from America’s taxpayers too. It still exists. America IS NOT divided–it’s BROKE! BUT NO ONE WANTS TO FACE FACTS! When we U.S. Citizens are all crying in the streets like Argentina S.A. or Greece workers are now, you WILL UNDERSTAND what is happening to America as we knew it growing up as kids – it is now GONE. Because the poor voters now dominate American votes, THIS is what happened. Now, do you believe Obama made it to top because he was POOR? No! He had (Chicago, Soros), rich people financing him before 2008 (even Saudi Princes)! You better hope there’ another candidate that can manage to do this or another RICH AMERICAN (as was Hispanic Immigrant Mitt Romney), for 2016! Please Remember This: Most humans everywhere, are into “self” all of the time be it perceived as “Divided” or NOT! America is now running on “self interests” and division of perceptions of “Equality For All”. This is why the Roman Empire fell!
Obama was just as much part of the one percent as Mitt Romney. Yes, he had financial backing, but in no way could the Obama’s be consider poor or even middle class. They were and are rich.
One more time:
“Brethren, our preaching will bear its legitimate fruits. If immorality prevails in the land, the fault is ours in a great degree. If there is a decay of conscience, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the public press lacks moral discrimination, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the Church is degenerate and worldly, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the world loses its interest in religion, the pulpit is responsible for it. If Satan rules in our halls of legislation, the pulpit is responsible for it. If our politics become so corrupt that the very foundations of our government are ready to fall away, the pulpit is responsible for it. Let us not ignore this fact, my dear brethren; but let us lay it to heart, and be thoroughly awake to our responsibility in respect to the morals of this nation.” Charles G. Finney, Power From On High, Chapter 11 (c. 1871-1874)
http://elect.ErnestHuberForCongress.com/
As an evangelical who did not vote for Romney or Obama, to say that we imperiled our own values, (particularly in regards to abortion) is absolutely false. Two years after Romney’s “pro-life conversion,” He instituted Romneycare which provided fifty dollar copays for abortion services in Massachusetts. He also, through executive fiat shoved gay marriage down the throats of the citizens of Massachusetts which has greatly contributed to the moral malaise that the state is now in. I’ve seen it first hand, I lived there. Evangelicals must speak with a united voice and say to smooth-talking RINOs that we will not vote for you if you will not protect the life, liberty and property of the citizens and people of the US including the unborn. Anything less is an abomination and a stench in the God’s nostrils and a reproach to those who claim Jesus Christ as their Lord. Only God can save our land, but many have bowed to the fear of Obama than to God. No matter who is president our only hope is in the Lord who judges all nations and causes them to rise and fall by His own bidding.
No man is perfect. Mitt Romney could have saved what’s left of America, but we’ll never know now because 14 million of you pharisees were too bigoted to vote for the man. Now you can wallow in your stubbornness as your country goes down the toilet before your eyes, knowing full well that you had a chance to make a difference and you rejected it.
Your statement betrays you when you say that “Mitt Romney could save what’s left of America”. Only God has the power to save this country. You are putting your trust in man or God. Even our currency got it right. The fact is we are in the trouble we are in because we murder our unborn children, sanction sexual immorality through gay “marriage”, and we consistently put money before righteousness forgetting that it is God who causes us to have wealth as it says in Deuteronomy. The scriptures say that righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach unto any people. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says that “If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray, seek my face and turn from their evil ways that I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land.” God is our ONLY hope.
I see this article as a ploy to start a fight between christians and to divide our vote more. I voted against Obama and not for someone I knew didn’t have a chance to win. I voted pro life, not anti life. Now we will see the most anti christian supreme court ever.
The anti-Christian bigotry of this article is mind-boggling.
1) If, in fact, Evangelicals stayed home in greater than usual numbers, would it be within the realm of possibility that Romney’s liberalism was the reason. For myself, I gritted my teeth when I cast my ballot for Romney on Tuesday and only did so because he was running against Barack Hussein Obama, a man intent on destroying this great country.
2) Some empherical evidence that Evangelicals stayed home in greater than usual numbers would have been appreciated. We know that there are approximately 60 million Evangelicals that are eligible to vote in this country. We know that (as with the rest of the population) only 60 percent of them (36 million) bother to vote on Election Day, and we know that many Evangelicals are Democrats who vote the Democratic party line. Obama got approximately half of the Evangelical vote in 2008 (hard to believe perhaps but true).
Is Collins saying that out of the 18 million Evangelicals that should have voted for “Romney” that only 4 million showed up and that they all stayed home because Romney is a Mormon. I’m willing to be proven wrong but I find it hard to believe. It’s seems more plausible that Collins may be dealing with issues of his own.
Well, I don’t know what to say. The Evangelicals stayed home because they didn’t like Romney a Mormon nor did they like obozo a radical, communistic, God-hating, Christian-hating, Israel-hating, American-hating, anti-life and anti-family Muslim criminal. I find that Romney is the less of two evils. I think we could have controlled him easier than we could obozo. Now, we face severe persecution as Christians, especially Catholics. As true Christians we cannot go along with the deadly obamacare law. We will have to use civil disobedience to fight it. But, it won’t be easy because we will be imprisoned, sent to death camps, censored and possibly martyred. Blood will, possibly, flow. This president and his administration does not believe in the God-given freedoms/liberties of freedom of speech and religious liberty. They are gonna crush it 100%. Now, I don’t judge Evangelicals. I didn’t like Romney, either, but I thought he was the less of two evils. God help America and the world. See website: http://www.haasstrep68.com
I don’t know who “Dr” Kevin Collins is, but he “ain’t” no dr as in having a phd unless phd means “post hole digging degree”. Please don’t make me laugh until I pee in my pants by telling me you are a historian or theologian. This article is the absolute worst and most ignorantly wrote article I have ever read at Western Journalism. otoh- you would be do well to land a job at some big media publisher, writing their articles of leftist propaganda. The article is so shallow and callous I will not even address it directly.
However I will add this.
People don’t want good government, people wants a profitable government. People wants a government that makes them money, and at least 47% of the people approved this statement. Election after election also reconfirms this year after year.
People don’t want Inalienable Rights as granted them by our Creator, but they want civil rights as granted them by their government. People don’t know, nor do they care to know the difference between the two. It’s simply more profitable to at least 47% of the people that they have civil rights over Inalienable Rights.
When the aspirations of the voting people determines they care more for profit than for good or the right in government, then society has failed and has devolved into a mobocracy that will vote to enslave itself in order to justify it’s prosperity and profitability”

I’m one of these Evangelicals. I voted for Romney (and have many Mormon relatives). I didn’t hear about my like-minded friends not wanting to vote for him because of his faith. All the ones I talked to were more than ready to have anyone but you-know-who. All my family felt and voted the same. I DID hear a lot of bashing of Mormonism four years ago but not this time. Although there’s probably some truth to what you’re saying, I, too, would like to see a link to SOMETHING to prove some of this. When I don’t see SOME kind of references on an article, I tend to discount its veracity. It seems more like opinion and less like fact.
I don’t think it’s so much his Religious Views as his Political Views, are a lot alike in many ways to Obama’s. They Both voted for a form of Socialised Medicine, and they Both have other same Political views about different Political things. I’m sure some of the others can name them for ya, but as for him being a Mormon, He is Not a Religious person, so his faith, or Lack of faith doesn’t really make any difference.
Paraphrasing Matthew 25:41-45:
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. … Your Nation was rushing to the cliff of a Godless Socialism/Communism and you acted not … They also will answer, ‘Lord, but the other man is a Mormon’ … He will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do to stem the tide of the American moral decline, you did not do for me.’
I don’t know what Bible your Quoting from, but it SURE ISN’T THE KING JAMES BIBLE.
This has to be a record for conservative stupidity. I thought I must be on a Democrat site, from the things being posted here. Coach, just say no, bro. I know you must be high, there is no other reason for your post.
Let me first say, my vote is exactly that, mine! If you think you have the right to chastise me for how I voted, message me. I will give you my address so you can come do it to my face! I know, you won’t do that because that would take a real man. If Romney, or Obama, or anybody, wants my vote, they have to earn it! I don’t care how you voted, it’s none of my business, and my vote is none of yours. Besides, if you were too stupid to see what the Republican Elites were doing, then you deserve what you get.
Romney was hand picked to fail. I did vote for him, and I am Evangelical, and also, an ordained minister. How dare anyone question another person’s right to vote as they please? If they refused to vote for Romney because of his dog’s name, it’s none of your business. If they decide to vote Obama, just because it will anger you, that is also none of your business.
I don’t owe you, or any other person, any consideration concerning my vote. Now, as Christians, we should weigh the consequences of our actions, but that is my job for myself, and your opinion plays no part in it.. I cannot believe the gall of some people! Stop crying like a little girl and complaining because you didn’t get your way. They call it voting by secret ballot for a reason.
It is easy to say, compromise for the greater good. But the truth is, if you can do this, don’t worry, you had no character to start with.
You said your a Preacher. By the sound of it, I’m glad I’m not going to your church. And yes you were right about it being a secret vote, but Honestly, True Believers would not be so inclined to have such a Secret between parisiners. Because you are to stand with ONE VOICE, being in Christ. Show the Fruits of the Spirit and stop complaining, I believe the Bible, or more so, Jesus said, to be as Wise as a Serpant, and Harmless as a Dove. Your statements Hardly do that.
Dr. Kevin, I agree with Stevor, MountainMama, Watchman48 & Wcfjcarmouche that I cannot find where or how you came up with the information that 14 million evangelicals stayed home. I can’t find how many evangelicals voted for President Obama nor for Gov. Romney. Since the election is controlled and protects the “secret ballot” rights its pretty difficult to gather this information. In regards to the evangelicals that did not vote for a Mormon because it is a cult, I had to look up the definition of a cult. My Websters Dictionary says that a cult is (1a) a system of religious worship or ritual (1b) a quasi-religious group, often living in a colony, with a charismaatic leader who indoctrinates members with unorthodox or extremis views, practices, or beliefs. With this definition I find it difficult to refrain from putting my personal religion including many of the other Christian denominations, Muslims, or any other group from the name of “cult.” What we need to do is accept the fact that more people voted for Obama than voted for Romney and decide what we personally need to do to swing other people into acception our preferences. I call this being willing to compromise. An example of compromise on abortion might be that each state determines whether abortion is legal or not and that abortion will not be funded by the government. If an individual purchases an insurance policy that provides for abortion, that is his choice but I don’t want to pay for it. Of course there are many circumstances that can cloud the water on this decision. I don’t think a President, House, Senate or the Supreme Court will come up with a solution regarding this issue anytime soon.
@klmartin62
Finally, someone who claims to be a preacher and can back up what he says with his words. Thank You for standing your ground! The responses here is just another indication of how ignorant and dumbed down people have become. They’re so “polluted” by today’s modern evangelical movements they don’t know how preachers used to be, the way it was. For starters the ignorants here needs to look up the Black Robe Regiment or the Black Brigade. http://www.blackrobereg.org/history.html
Preachers were real preachers then, yet they were just as much men as anyone else, showing all the traits of the average common folk. Much of the language you consider NON-PC or NON-Religiously Correct “RC” today was routinely used then. These preachers were quick with their tongues to attack anyone who dared cross their faith, family or friends. They held nothing back and was not hesitant in using force against any transgressor. They were men and what you have as preachers today are mere babies.
Let me add, most all people today, everywhere, are so shallow and ignorant of history they don’t have a clue as to what the truth really is. Because of this they do not have a grasp, mush less a real understanding of what the current events of today really means and the real history behind these current events. The same can be applied to their faith and religion as the reform and modernity movements have all but eliminated Orthodox Christianity and real Christian values and morals.. Afterall, God’s story is HIS-STORY! HISTORY!
From time to time you will also see me use strong language and harsh words, even vile words in extreme circumstances. But know this, it makes me no less a Christian, yet all the more human…
Most every one of you here are doomed to recreate history all because you didn’t learn from it the last time or the time before that. You are your own worst enemies! My people are destroyed for a second time for lack of knowledge: Yet a few retained barely enough knowledge that they shall be saved. I’m afraid when the big day comes in the not to distant future, many people will be surprised at how few people actually leaves with God, who remained and who were some were that left. Most all of you will be completely amazed and shocked at the results, fore things are NOT as you were led to believe by majorities who claimed superiority in their faith and theology of false doctrines.

PS: No use in continually weeping, your country is gone never to return. Many of us preachers were telling you this over 100 years ago. I was telling people this would happen 25 years ago. My grand pappy told me what was gonna happen 50 years ago. Only a very few ever listened and took heed. It’s what you get for arrogance and self-righteousness. Allowing the killing of millions of unborn babies didn’t help your cause any either.
AT THIS POINT, THE BEST OPTION FOR US TO GET RID OF OBAMA FOREVER IS TO HAVE DONALD TRUMP AND SOME OF HIS OTHER RICH FRIENDS TO PUT A HUGE BOUNTY ON OBAMA’S HEAD. I BET IF THERE WERE TO BE A REWARD OF TEN OR TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS FOR OBAMA’S HIDDEN RECORDS THEY WOULD SHOW UP FOR A FAIRLY SHORT TIME. WHEN THEY WERE VERIFIED CONGRESS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROTECT OBAMA ANY MORE AND HE WOULD BE EITHER IN PRISON FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE OR HE WOULD BE IN FRONT OF A FIRING SQUAD. MY ONLY WISH WOULD BE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE FIRING SQUAD AND I WOULD BE HONORED TO DO MY DUTY FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THIS WOULD BE ONE VERY HAPPY VETERAN.

” In regards to the evangelicals that did not vote for a Mormon because it is a cult, I had to look up the definition of a cult. My Websters Dictionary says that a cult is…”
Well first off there is more than one way to define “cult”. The Websters Dictionary you quoted uses the “secular” definition of the word. Accordingly many if not all Christian Denominations can be classed as a cult. Even the Catholic Church could be consider a cult accordingly. What you have to do is use words that are defined by Christian or Catholic standards. Try this:
http://www.gotquestions.org/cult-definition.html
Here is another one that refers to the Pharisees as being a cult in Scripture:
http://bible.org/seriespage/characteristics-cult-acts-151-31
Here is the Catholic version of “cult” which is quiet broad and indecisive. The term is discussed in a thread.
http://forums.catholic.com/showthread.php?t=116993
Personally I give the most credit for this Catholic treatise on defining “cult”. This article is very through and well written. I consider myself, by today’s standards a Orthodox Christian, and I hold no major faults against the Catholic Church. They are doing the best they can under the situation of today’s world. (Meaning they are by no means or by any stretch of the imagination a cult. I have defended them many times from “cultish” so-called and self-righteous Christians, who happens to be more of the cult. Try Tex Marrs for starters.) The Mormon Church is a cult and Mitt Romney is a member of a cult, plain and simple.
Case Closed!

NOW!
ALL of you look at this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4TMLw3CuQM
Remember these things while you look at the video in the comfort of your home. For I cannot say how much longer your comfort will last.
The burned out home is what you done to my ancestors and my land and property. Those are MY people, MY ancestors you killed, you see lying there.. Those bones you see are the bones of my ancestors which you killed, of whose homes and property you destroyed. And whose COUNTRY you destroyed, looted, pillaged, conquered and claimed. All those people you see are my people, my ancestors, and you see what you have done to them, to my country and now you see what you have done to your country in the process.
You believed the lies your government told you and claimed we were the liars, thieves and tyrants enslaving people. You treated us as dirt, as inferior and ignorant. And where has it all got you? Now you too have lost your country just as you and your ancestors caused my people and me to lose ours. Yet I have not lost anything more this week than I had 50 years ago. I had no country then and I have none now. So, let’s have a glass of wine and a cup of brandy. You drink to your love and I’ll drink to mine. You drink your love and I’ll lament and morn for mine. And now, you too can lament and morn for yours!
What is so sad right now is the fact NONE of you understand this, you haven’t a clue as to how I am making my statements. You simply don’t know history well enough to make the connections. Yet I have in the past here wrote many articles explaining this in decent details. I cannot continue to explain all this every few days, so read all my previous posts under my name and you mite just begin to learn something. You may learn more of who I really am in the process.
Out of the mess that YOU and your ancestors created, I hope to get my country and people back. I hope we can leave ya’ll never to lay eyes on you again. And we will be going, whether it be by force or by peace, or if we just vanish; we will be going! Hopefully your new found enslavement from losing your country will mean our new found freedom and rebirth of ours.
If any of you feels bold enough to follow what I’ve said and you want more info, look up these sites: The League of the South on FaceBook. Dixienet.org… Tim Manning from Kernersville, NC on FaceBook. And the best CE news available, backed with historical references look up the Southern Nationalist Network.

There is even a movement in New Hampshire concerning this. (But we won’t have them here!)
Finally a work project for you:
Read the following quote from a Confederate General. The quote is authentic except I have changed a very few words that are now Capitalized. You can look up the original quote on the net and see what was originally said instead of where I inserted caps.
“Every man should endeavor to understand the meaning of subjugation before it is too late… It means the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy; that our youth will be trained by GLOBAL schoolteachers; will learn from GLOBAL school books their version of WARS; will be impressed by the influences of history and education to
regard our gallant dead as traitors, and our maimed veterans as fit objects for derision… It is said slavery and SUBJUGATION is all we are fighting for, and if we give it up we give up all. Even if this were true, which we deny, slavery and OPPRESSION is not all our enemies are fighting for. It is merely the pretense to establish GLOBAL superiority and a more centralized form of government, and to deprive us of our rights and liberties.”
— Maj. General Patrick R. Cleburne, CSA, January 1864, writing on what would happen if the Confederacy were to be defeated.–Updated by Michael for today’s “ENLARGED ARENA”, which was stated by Jefferson Davis.

I am going to be glad in the day that I voted for Mitt Romney. I love God.
If the article is correct, I can draw only one conclusion. They knew they would end up with one or the other; however, they could not vote for either candidate in good conscience. They may have written in a name of someone they trusted more than either candidate, knowing full well that their vote wouldn’t win. It wasn’t Evangelicals alone–I personally know of groups from 4 different states that were voting in this manner.
