Mitt believes that his wife cannot rise to heaven unless he, Mitt, calls her up by her secret name that only he and she knows.

I’m not voting for a person who believes women are inferior before god.


As a husband and a Mormon let me tell you what you have just stated as a fact is indeed not true. Will everyone be called to the resurrection by their "New name" yes that is Mormon Doctrine, a Husband is indeed supposed to call his wife, however, if he is not worthy to call her, the call rolls up to the next worthy priesthood holder in her line of authority, her father, grandfather, etc. Eventually you would get to Adam. In any event, no man who is worthy will refuse to call his wife from the grave for that's just not Christlike and would invalidate him form being able to do so.

This whole line of argument is one of those "God can't create a rock so big he can't lift it arguments created by people to try to place God or a church in difficult circumstances and so "prove" the church / God is not really true / extant.

In short, don't condemn us for believing what we don't believe either.

Er, that's kinda the point - Mormons don't believe women are equal before god. I can't vote for a politician who believes that.
