Some of them...I've heard of.
Just sheds more light..
And IMO, brings potential trouble to a Pubbie "nominated" Romney....Hillary would pull out all the stops, and unleash the hounds on this. We can bet our last dollar on that.
And also IMO, not the same as JFK being the first Catholic POTUS. Not the same at all.
That is my opinion too.
Most of the “wacky” beliefs of different branches of Christianity are somewhat agreed by other branches. For example, most Christians would understand but not necessarily believe that handling snakes would require a great deal of faith. All Christians believe that the body of Christ is shared somehow in the Communion or Eucharist , but not all believe in transubstantiation. Most if not all Christians understand where the belief of Christ’s body being represented in the bread and wine comes from.
Many of the doctrines of Mormonism are strange, and totally unrelated to Christianity or the Bible. The fact that Mormonism tries to hide the vast differences is one indication of just how strange and embarrassing many of it’s doctrines really are.
These strange doctrine will come to light in this Presidential election. Most Christians will find the doctrines, covenants, and ordinances downright strange, if not totally frightening.
I doubt if many Christians will simply say, “It’s okay that the President believe this stuff....even Christian beliefs are wacky.”
No they will say (IMO), “This isn’t Christian. Anyone who believes this stuff must be wacky.”
In no way will it endear Romney to the voters.
