The last thing I want to do is argue about Mormon Doctrines, I can't because I guess I don't know enough of it to do so. I have learned a lot in my many years of marriage to my active LDS wife.

Mormons, many of them anyway do believe that if they stay close to Jesus Christ, and follow Him to the best of their ability and accept His grace if they don't, THEN in the worlds to come, they MAY possibly receive what they call exaltation. Exaltation is something that they say may happen in the afterlife.

All religions, or nearly all have things that will happen in an afterlife. No matter what they have in the afterlife it doesn't affect me here in this life.

Whether I come back as some animal, or sit on a cloud strumming a harp it just doesn't matter to me if I don't believe it.

The one thing I have learned is that Mormons believe in letting others believe what they want. When the missionaries try to get someone interested in their religion I like it that I or anyone else can say, “not today” they will leave. It's nice that they want to save me but if I don't want to be saved they understand and let it go. That doesn't mean they wont ask again another day but I don't have a problem with it. If they believe in Kolob, then let them have it it doesn't hut me.

If the Mormon Church were out promoting Romney I think I would be concerned. I have attended their meetings. As soon as someone starts making a political statement they are interrupted by the leaders and told to stay out of politics, that church is not the right place for it. I doubt if they do that just for my benefit, I have been around for a long time.

I have spoken to Mormons who like Romney but I have spoken to just as many who don't. I have spoken to many who nearly cried when Palin got out, I sympathize with them.

Romney is probably a really nice guy. He has been true to his faith, his wife and family and a hard worker. He just isn't a nice truly conservative guy. There is a really nice conservative guy running, his name is Herman Cain. there is a really nice conservative woman running, her name is Michelle Bachman. She has put her Christian virtues where her mouth is, she has raised 10’s of kids as a foster mother, how many people demonstrate their love in that way? Not many.
