Pastor of U.S.’s largest Christian church says he could vote for a Mormon

The senior pastor of America’s largest Christian church said Tuesday that he not only would have no problem voting for a Mormon presidential candidate, like Republican Mitt Romney, he also would not rule out the possibility of some day voting for a Jewish or even Muslim candidate for the nation’s highest office.

“Sure I could,” said Joel Osteen, lead pastor of Houston’s Lakewood Church, in an appearance on Piers Morgan Tonight, which airs on CNN. However, he added, “Ninety percent of America is Christian so I’m pretty sure I’d find somebody who more shares my beliefs.”
