Imagine that. Christians and conservatives voting for a guy who thinks beings will one day bow down & worship him & pray to him.
Aiding & abeting outright idolatry; and providing the worst socalled "conservative" of a POTUS candidate our country has EVER seen...an outright polytheist cultist.
The Lord said His kingdom was not of this world. To think that any priest of any church has power over people in some kind of ruling way is just silly. Since the priesthood can decide if you will be baptized or not they do wield incredible power just not in the way the writer was making fun of.

This “power of the priesthood” is given to 12-year-old mormon boys..

The Lord was 12 when He confounded the elders in the temple, the common age for bar mitzvah is 12 or 13.
1 Tim. 3:12: A deacon MUST be the HUSBAND of but one wife and must manage his children and his household well.
LdS.org: A boy is normally ordained a deacon when he is 12 years of age or older.
So how does a 12 year old comply with the Biblical passage? Or is this just one of many Biblical passages that are “translated incorrectly” as mormonism claims?
And what of the “spiritual blood transfusion” to pass on the lineage of Aaron?
And what of the “messenger who descended from heaven in a cloud of light” who purportedly “bestowed” the priesthood upon JS and his minion?
I recall reading something about angels of light in the Bible, oh yeah...
2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
...the presidential campaign of Mormon Church founder Joseph Smith in 1844: “Challenging Democrat James Polk and Whig Henry Clay, Smith prophesied that if the U.S. Congress did not accede to his demands that ‘they shall be broken up as a government and God shall damn them.’
Smith viewed capturing the presidency as part of the mission of the church.
