You said -- "Oh, this will be years of entertainment explaining this craziness during a Romney presidency. Maybe they will make a movie like Travolta and the Scientologists did to flog this LOTR gibberish."
Well, if he is a candidate, I definitely won't be voting for him. I'm not going to vote for an atheist, I'm not going to vote for a Communist, I'm not going to vote for a liberal and I'm not going to vote for a *cult* member (i.e., a "Christian cult"), either (not that he's all those, except the last point).
And while you said that some of their teachings are "nutty" -- I'm basically covering the aspects of the Mormon religion simply from the standpoint that they are *non-Christian* in their doctrines and beliefs (well-documented, too) and that this makes them a *cult* (in the terminology of Christian theology).

well Star Traveler, we have so much source material to draw from. Tis a shame most people don't know any of this. We will both have to package our results up and make them more readable. Next time, I will cut more quickly to the chase.
