if he is not worthy to call her, the call rolls up to the next worthy priesthood holder in her line of authority, her father, grandfather, etc. Eventually you would get to Adam.

Er, that's kinda the point - Mormons don't believe women are equal before god. I can't vote for a politician who believes that.

These threads have become silly. There is nothing to be gained by these back and forth tilts. The mean result can only be anger, hurt feelings and division. One can vote for or not vote for anyone that one chooses for any reason. What one believes is up to them and Almighty God. The silliness in the debates comes in when the exchange devolves into individual doctrines and beliefs. There is no reason for that, ever. Go to the root of any denomination or religion, the prophet, the leader.

Because it is not possible for God to lie; his prophets, his messengers will not lie. If Mahomet, Joseph Smith or Ron Hubbard are found truthful in prophecy, then so too are their respective denominations/Religions. So, it boils down to “Who was Joseph Smith?” and “Were the things he said truthful?” Without Joseph Smith, there is no Mormon. I don’t think that would keep me from voting for Romney. I have other reasons other than his belief system. If you choose not to vote for him because of his belief system, or for him because of same, that is your right. So let it go, we all know what we believe and we know what level of importance it plays when casting our vote. So do so, nothing is hindering you, but the divisiveness and in-fighting hinders and harms us all in the end.

This is from my Bible, what does yours say about the “equality” of men and woman.

(Ephesians 5:22-29.)

22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
