Indeed...look at the high-minded claims of that Lds "scriptural" statement: “Then shall they be gods...then shall they be above all...
And why do they expect to be "above all?"
...because all things are subject unto them.
(Translation: the rest of us are just mere "subjects" to their divinity -- supposedly "because they have ALL power")
Now we understand that a Mormon POTUS candidate who believes this may actually think of...
...the White House as just one brief career stop on his way to...
...the White Throne!!!
Could we imagine the Media & Freeper reaction if, let's say, Obama, Hillary or Sarah Palin said??? "I believe in the faith of my fathers, including the 'scriptures' they put forth. And this includes Doctrine & Covenants 132:20-21, which I believe the 'they' in this passage applies to me":
“Then shall they be gods, because they have no end; therefore shall they be from everlasting to everlasting, because they continue; then shall they be above all, because all things are subject unto them. Then shall they be gods, because they have all power, and the angels are subject unto them. Verily, verily, I say unto you, except ye abide my law ye cannot attain to this glory.”
(The MSM & FReeptown would go 'nuts'...but because these are "nice" potential "conservative" "gods," we're supposed to ignore these elephant-in-the-living room issues!!!!)

Hmmm....where have we heard THAT before...
2 Thessalonians 2:4 (Today’s New International Version)
4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.
Bt of course Hillary and Sara, if they were LDS, wouldn’t be able to claim that they believe they will be gods, because only the menfolk get to be gods. Their many wives are eternal breeders. Or at least that’s my understanding.
