Finally, someone to whom I can explain my vote for Mitt Romney!
You see, Mormons (and Scientologists) believe that eventually man can become god on another planet. On the off chance that this might be true, I figured that Earth was quite possibly Romney's planet.
One doesn't want to vote against that, does one?
I’ve heard all that about Mormons: that God was once a human, about the spirit wives, of being future gods of their own planets, etc. But every time you say that to a Mormon, they emphatically deny that’s what they believe. So either (a) it’s false, (b) they’re lying, or (c) it’s a belief only held among the ‘inner circle’. Whatever the case, Joseph Smith was definitely a strange one. But due to this ambiguity, I’m not quite willing to judge someone solely on the basis of their being a Mormon.
