[QUOTE="ciciintheworld, post: 1969619, member: 25612"] My View of Evangelical Christians Voting for Mitt Romney qiuwenkai1030 Peuterey Outlet I have heard many Christians express concerns about voting for Mitt Romney because he is Mormon. They certainly have this right, but I'd ask that they give me one chance to offer another view. You see, I am a former Atheist, now a born again Evangelical Christian. My degree is in the Ministry.
