Perhaps the mormon prophet is elected by the same god council Joseph Smith claimed appointed the mormon god to be god over this planet? I mean, all it takes is twelve white men to agree that the council has told them whom to elect and *POOF* the Morons have a newly appointed/elected prophet of the mormon god! ... Which brings up a question: has there ever been an appointment by the god council of Smith's imagination that has failed to do his duty and populate the entire planet with his spirit children, as Smith claimed the god of Mormonism has done?

In the beginning, the head of the Gods called a council of the Gods; and they came together and concocted a plan to create the world and people it. (Joseph Smith, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 6, p. 5, 1844)

In the very beginning the Bible shows there is a plurality of Gods beyond the power of refutation. It is a great subject I am dwelling on. The word Eloheim ought to be in the plural all the way through--Gods. The heads of the Gods appointed ONE God for us... (Joseph Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 372)

“I learned a testimony concerning Abraham, and he reasoned concerning the Gods of heaven. ... Intelligences exist one above another, so that there is no end to them. If Abraham reasoned thus--If Jesus Christ was the Son of God, and John discovered that God the Father of Jesus Christ had a Father, you may suppose that He had a Father also. Where was there ever a son without a father? And where was there ever a father without first being a son? Whenever did a tree or anything spring into existence without a progenitor? And everything comes in this way. Paul says that which is earthly is in the likeness of that which is heavenly. Hence if Jesus had a Father, can we not believe that He had a Father also? I despise the idea of being scared to death at such a doctrine, for the Bible is full of it. I want you to pay particular attention to what I am saying. Jesus said that the Father wrought precisely in the same way as His Father had done before Him. As the Father had done before? He laid down His life, and took it up the same as His Father had done before. (Joseph Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 373)
