"While he attempts to portray Mormonism as just another Christian religion, Mitt Romney counts on his skills to shift our attention away from what he truly believes," says Tricia Erickson, author of "Can Mitt Romney Serve Two Masters? The Mormon Church Versus the Office of the Presidency of the United States of America."

this is why we can’t have this rino as our nominee, if the LDS church has any sense they’ll talk him out of it.

Romney might believe that he can become a god, but that asshat in our White House believes he already IS a god.

Such petty crap that was not for a minute used against Obambozo. I understand that someone asked Perry for his medical records . . . would like to get that from the last to sickos who lived in our White House. Too bad Perry doesn’t tell them to go to hell!

Personally, I think it’s Mittens who is trying to fan this into an issue. It’s not working, people don’t dislike Mitt because he’s Mormon, they dislike him because he’s unstable.

From the article...Erickson says Romney believes:

He will become a “god” in the afterlife and be given his own planet

Satan is Jesus’ literal brother

Jesus was not born of a virgin birth

He will be given his own afterlife kingdom where he will have sexual relations with his wife, Ann, to populate his kingdom with spirit children as God the Father Himself has a wife on His own planet.

The author, who herself was married in a Mormon temple at age 19 but now considers herself a non-denominational Christian, says there’s a secret agenda Mormon officials don’t like to talk about publicly.

“A complete takeover of the government,” she said. “They have more people in the CIA, the FBI. They have an employment office for Mormons in D.C. to be able to infiltrate them into the government.”

“They’ve been trying since the beginning to get someone in the presidency, because they believe they have to establish their authority so when Jesus comes to Earth, the Mormon Church will take control of the government and the Mormons will be the government of God on Earth,” she continued.

Years ago I read a number of books about the history of Mormonism. It has some very strange elements but the Mormons I have known have been some of the best, most honest upstanding people I have ever known. It would not stop me from voting for Romney in fact, nothing will stop me from voting for the Republican nominee. I am hoping we do not have a 3d party rear it's ugly head.

My only problem with Mitt Romney’s religion is when he uses it to discredit another candidate AND THE WHOLE CONSERVATIVE movement.

You are falling right into the trap with this post and I’m not going there with you.

‘Would you trust the judgment of a man if he truly believes he’s gonna be a god?’

Well, we currently have one who thinks he IS God.

Romney has issues other than his religion. In fact, as long as his (or anyone elses) religion doesn’t reward him for killing people, I don’t much care what it is.

Interesting article. Mormonism is a cult.

Looking at Mormon politicians like Harry Reid, he seems to be about as faithful as the Kennedy’s are to the Catholic Church and the Pope. I remember when people were afraid to vote for Kennedy because Catholics loyalty belonged to the Pope. Now I think our country would be better if all Catholics were faithful Catholics!

No, Reid and Kennedy prototypes worship at the feet of liberal causes and groups and re-election.

Meh, I’ve known a lot of Mormons and they’ve all been good family folks and great people with conservative values. While I agree Mormons are not really Christians, I will let God sort that out.

I couldn’t care less if Mitt is a Mormom, nor would I care if he worshiped a giant earthworm God. What matters to me is Romney is not really a conservative. He’s better than Hussein by far, but still not really a true conservative.

There are much stronger reasons why Romney poses a risk to the US.

Namely, his loyality is to internationalism and he is a traitor to the constitution and human life - a politically correct socialist.

I have a friend from childhood who married a Morman. He also was a childhood friend. She was her parents only daughter. They got married in the Temple in Utah. Her parents could not attend. She never told what her marriage ceremony was like. They are both very nice people and have a wonderful family. But I agree and the Founders of Mormanism would demand that they are NOT Christian in any traditional understanding of the meaning. Christianity is the USA in very shallow. Most have no idea about their faith except Christmas and Easter service and that involves Santa and eggs.
