Mitt can believe anything he wants to about you (but why would he bother), but you would never know it unless he said so.

What? (Ya think LDS only practice this deep, hushed, inwardly esoteric kind of spirituality?)

WHISPERED: [I'll help ya out...it's...it's called a public "profession of faith." And, believe it or not, professions of faith tend not to be tucked away on chicken scratch deep inside someone's soul. (As a matter of fact, I would say that the word "testimony." has probably been on the tip of somebody's tongue if you were to check w/your fellow ward & stake folks)]

Let me give you an example: The "testimony" might include something to the effect that "I believe that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God."

And of course, Joseph's johnny-come-lately description (written years after the BoM) of his first spiritual encounter with unnamed "personages" is the foundation for any Mormon's profession of faith. Pull out your Pearl of Great Price...Joseph Smith - History, and go down to verse 19:

"I was answered that I must join none of them [churches], for they were all awrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt."

There ya go: LDS "scripture" of the First Vision. Now, do you think Mitt denies this revelation from Joseph Smith? Are you hinting to anyone here that Mitt's taken his pen and drawn a line thru his Pearl of Great Price?

No, but why would that matter to you or any other republican or Christian? Has he ever done anything in his political life that would warrant such a paranoid fear as you seem to have of him?

Has any Mormon in public office?

I wish you’d stop obsessing.

I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for me and I feel bad that I’m such a screw-up that He had to pay the price for me. I love Heavenly Father for instituting such a wonderful plan. And the Holy Ghost tells me it’s true.
