“This is where the rubber hits the road. As a Mormon, I believed this doctrine, but I don’t think I ever felt comfortable with it.”
You obviously see the problem. I believe, through experience, that certain Mormons (Harry Reid being one) end up believing they “got their planet early” and their egos expand indefinitely. That is my difficulty with a Mormon at the presidential level. My Governor here in Nevada is Mormon and seems to be trying to do a creditable job, but the man-God thing can cloud the judgement.
I suspect that most politicians have a god complex. Romney is not the only one. Everyone on the democrat side has one, and many of the republican candidates seem to have similar egos. I mean you've got to have a huge ego to run for president in the first place.
