Reid even professed to being a card carrying temple goer. Hard to believe.

Welll....we don't know who his Bishop is and how he answered the following questions:

TEMPLE RECOMMEND QUESTIONS ASKED BY BISHOP

Harry Reid is the main reason I left the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. When I found he was Temple-worthy (during a visit to the St. George Temple) my Recommend suddenly meant nothing.

...and yes, that's the truth.

The Church has an article of faith that states:

We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.

Reid does not honor the Constitution. Instead, he honors some evil people. I believe the Church has a duty to excommunicate him for his authoritative lies and political game-playing, but they don't. Instead I heard Reid and his pack of lies while hearing the members saying we're the "true church." - - what a bunch of bull!

If the Church charges us with being subject to governments, it must ensure the good path of government, otherwise it will end up supporting evil governments and evil politicians. Well, that's what they're doing!

Our greatest calling on earth is to fight evil. If we don't fight it, we're in spiritual trouble. If we help it, as the Church does with Reid, it's worse. I've said enough.

Anytime anyone makes a statement like that, the red flag goes up for me. He talked against a former prophet and a former president of BYU, and basically said the church leaders were wrong in emphasizing the moral issues of abortion and same sex marriage.

And then he talked about global warming and health care being much more important issues. You know that eyes were rolling bigtime in Utah.
