Al Sharpton's opinion to exclude Mitt Romney (or any other candidate) based on religion is no better than what he claims Mormons have done to Blacks in the past. 

His reference to "anyone who believes in God...", although intended to insult, should be a reminder to all of us that if we really do believe in God, religion or color will never exclude us from being one of God's children.  As such, we have an obligation to each other to widen our circles of acceptance and tolerance.

I think the Mormon Church really tried to practice the teachings of the Person they profess to follow by turning the other cheek and welcoming Reverend Sharpton in spite of his insults. 

No matter what our religion is, as a COMMUNITY, it is time to put aside the things that keep us from embracing each other.  We need to follow these wise words of the poet Edwin Markham:

CIRCLE

He drew a circle and shut me out
a renegade, a heretic, a thing to flout
But love and I had wit to win
we drew a circle that took him in.
