A Baptist preacher from South Carolina
emphasizes the difficulty Mitt Romney
will experience in the south
he says Book of Mormon is the Devil’s book
Pastor Stan Craig, a fundamentalist Baptist preacher in Greenville, South Carolina, apparently does not like the idea of a female president.
Yet he hesitated when he was asked recently to make a hypothetical choice between Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
“I probably would cast my vote for Michele,” Craig said.
His thinking: Romney is Mormon. Mormons, in Craig’s view, are not Christian.
“The devil wrote only one Bible,” Craig said, “and Joseph Smith found it under a rock.”
So as Romney and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. start to think about advancing their campaigns in the southern states, the inevitable question comes up: Will their religion deter voters, particularly conservative evangelicals who form a key voting bloc of the Republican primary base?
The Book of Mormon, translated from golden plates that Joseph Smith said he found by divine guidance on a hill in upstate New York, is the foundation for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Mormons consider the book another gospel of Christ. Many conservative evangelicals consider it incompatible with the Bible, and Mormonism a “false religion.”
This charming Pastor preaches at the Choice Hills Baptist Church in South Carolina. An example of the rhetoric of Stan Craig below:

It sure would be wonderful and refreshing to hear someone from another Christian faith act and sound like a true Christian in looking for common ground instead of bashing another Christian religion without real understanding of its beliefs. Here is Rev. Craig, an ignorant and unChristian preacher. He should visit with Rev. Rittenhour (sp?) to gain some better insight from another fellow Baptist minister.
haha! I love it when they rip into each other like that! You can see the true colours!
Here we go with the good old tolerant Christians again. God love them because no one else can.
Dammit and I thought this was going to be a riff on Book of Mormon the Broadway musical, that will be turned into a movie later. Nothing like watching one religious nut, outdo the other religious nut on what is the real truth.
The passion of these crazies scares hell out of me. They can motivate enough crazies to vote and that could mean the election of a Rick Perry. It worked for Bush in 2000 and 2004!
Seen this one? Tom Tancredo (remember him?) went to a pee party rally back in ’10 telling the crowd that we need to send President Obama back to Kenya.
And there raged Stanley…
Pastor Stan Craig, of the Choice Hills Baptist Church, was particularly angry about the state of Washington, saying he “was trained to defend the liberties of this nation.” He declared that he was prepared to “suit up, get my gun, go to Washington, and do what they trained me to do.”
