I’ll be voting for president, NOT my priest...I don’t care what a mans religion is, just that he’ll be a good president.

Thomas Jefferson could be considered slightly heretical, yet I’d love to vote for him for president.

Agreed, heck if George Carlin was still alive, I could vote for him even though he was an agnostic. Even so, he hit the nail on the head on so many things. I can live with Romney, at least he is not an America hater and no Mormon ever did anything bad to me. Most of them that I know of are very good people, the only Mormon rat I know of is Senator Harry Reid and it is his politics, not his religion, that make him a rat.

I'm into things like the paranormal, UFO's and "forbidden archeology Art Bell type of stuff" and there is scuttlebutt of a Christlike man over here at some point in history so who really knows? I'll stay Lutheran, as we all have our religions, what is my criteria is who will I feel better in getting that 3 AM phone call, Romney or Barry Soetoro. I'd take the former even though he is not my choice, at least I know there is competency there as well as he is not an America hater.

My only exception(s) on religion and politics is the Muslim faith, I cannot vote for a Moslem, it seems they are either of the radical type or tend to cave in to fear to the radicals and do their bidding that way. The other things is if the candidate is an extreme Satanist. Other than that, religion is not much of an issue to me.

DITTO. Had Mormon missionaries come to my door. They were polite and I was polite. I simply told them that I do not agree with the Book of Mormons because the Bible is finalized and Christians can not add anything to it. They realize they cannot shake my position, but we all agree to disagree. That is the extent of my dealings with Mormons on faith. They seem to respect my position and left me alone.
If Americans behave like Mormons, no drinking, no tobacco, no profanity, strong work ethics, strong family values, stockpiling food and etc for emergencies. Be willing to help out neighbors and etc, the US would be a better place. Most Mormons I met are polite and exercise strong self control. If one of them wants to be POTUS I have no problems.

Slightly?! LOL! That dude wrote his own version of the New Testament without all the "nonsense" about resurrection, angels, miracles, etc. If that's 'slightly' heretical then Obama is 'slightly' left wing. :)

I'd vote him for president in a heartbeat, if the Constitution didn't forbid a third term.

That is our problem! Just leave God out of it!

Office of First President & Living Prophet®:

November 1st, 2011

The message for this month is -

Primaries are coming up REAL soon; so we MUST stay on our mantra:
        We are NOT electing a pastor/pope, but a PRESIDENT!!

We've been taking a beating on the Internet - especially from those hateful ANTIs on FreeRepublic!
We MUST keep the media constantly informed of those things the world considers christian.

We must NOT allow our MORMONness to show thru, as it has gotten a really bad rap thru history - lord only knows why...
Tommy
