Black skin in humans is a genetic carryover of that curse on cain. The purpose of the black skin was to mark him and his offspring for ease of ostracizing. The fact that this black marker survived is a result of people not fully carrying out their duty of ostracization. Black skin should have died out thousands of years ago or at least been restricted to wilderness regions in very small numbers.

If he wins the nomination, watch for that to become part of the anti-Mormonism whispering campaign. He's Mormon, so he's probably racist. As someone who isn't white and not religious, what I'd like to know is this - how much of Mormonism does he actually believe? I ask that because plenty of people who claim to be religious don't subscribe to a literal interpretation of their faith. Does he really believe in the Thetans? If so, I think he's too stupid to be Prez. Does he really believe black skin is a curse? If so, too bigoted and dangerous. And so on...

Dude you are totally confusing your cults. Thetans are what scientologists believe in, they are the spirits of aliens dropped into volcanoes in Hawaii to die by the evil Lord Xenu. Laminites are what the Mormons believe in, they are American Indian tribes of Jewish people who came to the United States in 600 BC from Judah.

~”...what I’d like to know is this - how much of Mormonism does he actually believe?”~

By all accounts, he’s a good Mormon, so I would imagine he believes it all.

Another question is, how much of what anti-Mormons say Mormons believe does he believe?

The two are not the same. Unfortunately, we have seen a great deal of the latter on this thread.
