I had a long talk with a Mormon friend yesterday.
I noted that I thought the Joseph Smith plates and strange underwear and planet Kolob and all that were pretty stupid. But I also noted that Catholic mass is pretty much a stage play when the priest goes "abracadabra" and turns bread and wine into flesh and blood, and then encourages us to all eat it.
Bottom line, Mormons are great people, they take care of each other and happy with what they do and don't make fun of other religions, same goes with Catholics and Jews and Buddhists and Hindi.
As far as Romney goes, I don't want his religion doing the thinking for him, same goes for any candidate. Leave the religion at your church and temple.
You are entitiled to your opinion, however, what do you know about any of the things you mentioned?
What's terrible is that we're forced to have this discussion. Fortunately, it's still early in the political process.
With the MSM, we're in an untenable position: If Romney isn't the GOP nominee, it's because the VRWC is religiously bigoted. If Romney becomes the nominee, however, watch every newspaper and broadcast news bureau turn their guns on the LDS.
