I appreciate your service, however, I don't appreciate your view of Mormonism.
Problem is, America has become apostate, drifting from its Biblical moorings. 30-40 years ago it would have been different. Religious America was once aware of what Mormons believed, not now. Their beliefs are beyond wacky. 30-40 years ago, a Mormon for president would have been unthinkable.
The Mormons are way out there. Pretty schizophrenic origins, completely non-Christian theology. But, lots of us would hold our noses and vote for ANYBODY but Hillary.
I am a Lutheran, not LDS. I was merely stating the obvious: many mainline churches are shrinking, even disappearing, while the LDS and RLDS send missionaries to every corner of the Earth. I once visited the temple of the RLDS in Independence, Missouri while on a short vacation, and it is one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen. http://www.cofchrist.org/visit
You're right on that one.
Many mainstream "Christian" churches have drifted from the teachings of the Bible and given up the simple truths therein for moral relativism, fuzzy logic, gay clergy, abortion on demand NQA, environmentalism, multiculturalism, and so forth.
It's ironic that Mormonism is one of the few denominations today that preserves the oldtime "Christian" values of morality, chastity, integrity, and the distinction between right and wrong.
