The Mormon religion is no weirder than Scientology.
No it is not...it isn't even close. It's another beast altogether. Just for starters JFK din't profess himself to be a God...nor did his church have a political agenda to appoint JFK as a savior.
Romney-the incompetent LIAR and BACKSTABBER
is the only one who brings up his religion as a shield.

Santorum Endorses One-time Rival Romney

Former presidential hopeful Rick Santorum urged his supporters to back fellow Republican Mitt Romney’s campaign Monday in a late-night email that called for the one-time rivals to unite and defeat Barack Obama.
“Anyhow this is about Mitt and the concern about Mormon influence upon the way he would govern if president.”
I don’t think we have anything to worry about with respect to his Mormonism.
I do think we should be concerned about his political philosophy though. Like most other religions, Mormons come in many political shades. How else do you countenance the likes of Harry Reid, who is also a Mormon, and a POS at the same time. For what it’s worth, Mormons I know, can’t understand why the church has not excommunicated Reid, which is more than can be said for the Catholics and the Pelosi’s and Biden’s of their faith.
I am given to understand that there is much in the foundational papers of the Mormon faith which would plainly condemn the conduct of a Harry Reid, as well as many of Mitt Romney’s leftist tendencies. I’d have to ask why isn’t Reid censured for not living up to such standards, let alone Romney.
What do you consider a organization that requires that you not affiliate “with any group or individual that teach practices that are not in agreement with church teachings” in order to attend its temple?
What do you consider an organization that shuns you if you leave it, and makes sure that the others in the organization shun you too (and see what would happen if THEY left)?
Sometimes a spade has to be called a spade.
You distinguish a cult as one that only wants 100% of your belongings -
What do you call an organization that demands you give up your children for two years?
Germany? They demand citizens give up their ‘children’ for a couple years of military service. Is Germany a cult?
I thought you meant a priest or pastor from another church.
