In a letter that was published on July 3 Jane Pitt, Brad Pitt’s mom, threw her support behind GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney and challenged fellow Christians who refuse to support a Mormon candidate.
From Jane Pitt:
“I have given much thought to Richard Stoecker’s letter (“Vote for Mormon against beliefs,” June 15). I am also a Christian and differ with the Mormon religion.
But I think any Christian should spend much time in prayer before refusing to vote for a family man with high morals, business experience, who is against abortion, and shares Christian conviction concerning homosexuality just because he is a Mormon.
Any Christian who does not vote or writes in a name is casting a vote for Romney’s opponent, Barack Hussein Obama – a man who sat in Jeremiah Wright’s church for years, did not hold a public ceremony to mark the National Day of Prayer, and is a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage.
I hope all Christians give their vote prayerful consideration because voting is a sacred privilege and a serious responsibility.”
Jane Pitt is spot on!! Within the various Christian denominations there are differing beliefs, rejection of certain beliefs, acceptance of others, an addition of this or that belief and Mormonism is no different in this manner. There is no justifiable reason for citizens outright refusing to vote for a candidate based solely on that candidate’s religion.
Glad to hear there is a Hollywood mom who is an outspoken Christian!
I read this news last weekend and was pleasantly surprised. Unfortunately, in this case, the apple fell very far from the tree. I’m sure she prays for him.
OBAMA’S FAVORITE BIBLE VERSES
[I recently came up with these two verses. If you can find any more tongue-in-cheek ones in the Good Book that apply to Obama, please add them at the end and then circulate everything on the internet!]
Isaiah 1:18: “Come now, and let us treason together.”
Matthew 24:8: “All these are the beginning of Soros.”
Mamma Pitt talks a lot of sense.
God bless her, for she is about to get viciously attacked by a snarling horde of wonderfully tolerant delightfully progressive liberals.
Found your blog via 8 Kids n business. Love what Mrs Pitt said. Wise woman. Hopefully her wisdom and prayers will bring back her wondering son.
8 kids: he didn’t just fall, I think he bounced a half-dozen or so times as well.
‘There is no justifiable reason for citizens outright refusing to vote for a candidate based solely on that candidate’s religion.’ …
I can think of one.
