This is why I could not vote for a man who is a part of an “anti-christ” religion and knowing when he prays, God cannot hear.

Exactly.

And between 2007 and 2012 I gave dozens of postings where I spelled this out.

Here's the example I would give: I mentioned the TV series "24"...

In one of the seasons of "24" the president had to deal with the threat of dirty nuke bombs.

Simply put, there are SOME crises a POTUS goes thru or may have to go thru where He calls upon the Lord for deliverance, for resources beyond a POTUS' ability to handle.

In that circumstance, what do we want to endorse/sanction? Do we want to tell THE God of the universe that we endorsed a Prez who doesn't know the Ultimate God -- and won't call upon Him?

A Mormon POTUS who thinks it's A-OK to pray to a god who was never God from eternity past, but rose up from manhood to godhood...and who doesn't have ALL authority in every universe there is?

Joseph Smith said/wrote that some "council of gods" appointed the god of this earth. Smith also said that this god had a father, and that father had a father before him, ad infinitum.(this is found, btw, in the 1938 Deseret Book published under the title: Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith)

This is known as the "Law of eternal regression." IoW, in Mormonism, there is no Ultimate God. There is no Ultimate Source. There is no Ultimate Authority. And...if there happens to be such an Ultimate God, well, Mormons don't know Him, proclaim Him, worship Him, or glorify Him.

Now that's going to be a BIG problem when they finally meet Him face to face and desire to enter to His heaven!!!!

The infamous couplet Mormons embrace from one of its "prophets" -- Lorenzo Snow -- "as man is, God once was" is Mormon doctrine ... see http://blog.mrm.org/2012/05/does-mormonism-still-teach-god-the-father-was-once-a-man/

If the Mormon god was once a man, that means this Mormon man had one or more gods...and since Smith uses the word "council" and "gods" plural...we know the Mormon god was once authorityless; and Mormon doctrine is that he merely "organized" (not created out of nothing) the earth & universe...see D&C 93, etc.

This is NOT the God of the Bible!!!!
