Many naive Americans believe that Mormonism is merely another branch of protestant Christianity. Well that’s not what the founders and leaders of Mormonism believed.
According to its founder, Joseph Smith, and Brigham Young, Smith’s successor, Mormons are the only true people of God on the earth. All non-Mormons and their religions are “wrong, an abomination, blind, damned, of the devil, whores, not Christians, groveling in darkness, heathens, ignorant, devoid of fact, pagan and hatched in Hell.”
When Romney made a speech about his religion in 2008 he refused to distance himself from his faith and fully affirmed his Mormonism. Responding to critics, Romney said,
"They would prefer it if I would simply distance myself from my religion, say that it is more a tradition than my personal conviction, or disavow one or another of its precepts. That I will not do. I believe in my Mormon faith and I endeavor to live by it. My faith is the faith of my fathers - I will be true to them and to my beliefs."
Romney, the father of homosexual marriage in America and abortion funding Romney Care in Massachusetts, flip-flops on virtually every issue, but he is adamant about his anti-Christian Mormonism. Romney needs the vote of Christians to win election, but he refuses to “disavow one or another of its precepts.”
Nor can anyone think Romney is merely a casual or cultural Mormon who just happened to be born Mormon. He is an active Bishop in the Mormon church hierarchy. He cannot pretend to be ignorant of the teaching of Joseph Smith and the other “prophets” of Mormonism.
Below is a list of quotes from Mormon leaders and official publications starting with Joseph Smith down to our day. The message is consistent and clear.

Thank you so very much, Bigun, for your kind words! I'll be standing right beside you.
Again I concur!
All points!
Brilliantly stated!
Neither will the Republic survive 4 years of Romney.
Betty, unfortunately there are a lot of Christians out there who are more in fear of Obama than they are in fear of God. What if???
Do you not know that God already knows whether or not Obama is going to be re-elected? Do you not know that God ultimately makes his choice for who our leader is going to be either as a punishment for our sins, a reward for our faith or any other reason that God comes up with to make that determination on our behalf?
Unfortunately too many Christians are willing to compromise on principles out of fear. We will vote for evil because one evil is perceived in our mind as being more evil than another evil. We make that choice even when there is a solid choice for Good -- in this case "Goode".
Romney has a proven track record of being an evil politician on issues of life, family and just about every other social ill that God has expressed his hatred of (abortion, homosexuality, the redefinition of the family, forcing religious institutions to fund or provide contraceptives and abortion services) -- whatever the liberal position is, Romney has a track record of supporting it.
I believe that God gave us Obama as a test and possibly as a punishment for our faithlessness and our toleration of evil. Romney does not represent a deviation from that toleration and is as tolerant of evil as Obama.
So if you think your compromising vote for Romney in this election will help to save America, then I fear for America. As Christians we need to stand up to the forces of evil in the world not to compromise for the lesser of two evils. We will never change as a nation until we collectively repent of our sins and turn our face to God. Romney believes he will someday be a God. That is his primary purpose in being a Temple worthy Mormon. Is that the God you intend to turn your face towards? Is that the God in whom you will put your faith and trust?
Truthfully, nobody cares what you do. Just stay out of the way.
We as Christian never get to that point when the situation is that “urgent” that we will turn away from God and think a sin will overcome evil...

Spot on, Nana!!!!!
What if Obama is the AntiChrist (or at least an antichrist, and it seems pretty plain to me that he is);
- - - - -
The same can be said of Mittens. Mitt is definitely ANTI-Christ, at least the Christ of the Bible.
Mitt doesn’t believe in the same God Christians do. If you knew Mormonism, you would understand that.
BB, You’re not going back and forth with disgruntled Republicans. This is a WHACKO nest of Constitution Party hacks who spend all their time posting anti-Mormon threads as a way to defeat Romney. No argument or reason will work. They’re political attack dogs pretending to defend Christianity.
Do you really consider Mormons to be Christians? Seriously?
Toleration doesn’t mean not fighting for your faith or telling lost souls the truth.
Deb, we were posting the truth about Mormonism LONG before Romney started to run LAST time and we will continue. It has nothing to do with Romney.
I wouldn’t vote for Romney even if he were an Evangelical Christian like me. He is still a lying liberal.
We are not anti-Mormon, we are anti-MormonISM HUGE difference.
Grey you may want to ping the inmans for this.
God cares what I do. And I will stay IN the way as long as you people keep making the same stupid mistakes and voting for liberals because you are told to. I’m not that easy to get rid of.
You may not care if Mormons are headed for Hell, but I do. You may not care about Abortion, but I do.You may not care about gun control, but I do. You may not care about socialism, but I do. I care enough about this country to fight for it, even if that means fighting both the GOP and the Dems.
Never Surrender!
Guess what? Virgil Goode would compromise and cut deals like every elected official has to. Of course, you'll never get the chance to be disappointed in him because he won't get a single elector. So its easy to raise his banner and throw mud on the opposition.
You don't have to call down the inmans (flying monkeys). I'm done with you.
Perhaps. If it doesn't; then there are STILL millions of souls to be SAVED from the evil clutches of MORMONism.
We are apple and oranges this Faustian 'choice' to death - talking past one another.
One group is oh so worried about our beloved country, and another is oh so worried about men's souls.
That the USA has fallen so far that this choice is even ours is mighty scary!
Or else what; she'll be beaten, stripped and brought to your tent?
Oh?
Your research person is a bit off target.
Deb; you SOUND LIKE a highly paid MORMON troll; trying ANYTHING to get folks to vote for your man.
I've already sniffed it out.
Yes, God knows at-once all things of all times from His standpoint in the Eternal Now. No mere sparrow at any time falls without Him already knowing of it....
But we humans don't know all things, simultaneously, as He does. We are mortal and timebound in a way He never is. We have to learn by trial and error, from experience of and in the world He created — and then commended to our faithful stewardship, in and through the great sinner Adam.
Forgive me for saying so, dear P-Marlowe, but it is my belief that God does not judge and punish us NOW, in "this" world. Punishment for our sins according to our just desserts is imposed on us on Judgment Day, when Christ comes again, this next time brandishing a bloody sword — not before.
The sword, of course, is His Eternal Truth which cannot ever be evaded by God's beloved creature, Man.
Or maybe you think my prayerful interpretation of the Apocalypse of St. John — a/k/a the Book of Revelation — is faulty. (I do the best I can.)
In between now and then, He intends that we be His collaborators in His creational work, to seek His Good and do what we humbly can do to implement it in this world, His Creation. Which will not be "complete" until He ends this order of the World, and establishes His Kingdom in and of Christ Jesus, Logos Alpha to Omega, the Son of God.
He leaves us in perfect liberty to love and serve Him, or to reject Him.
Meanwhile, we do not know what God knows, nor can we. All we can do is try to live in His Light, and serve Him.
If we already knew what God knows, then we couldn't be "free." And our Good Lord definitely made us to be free men, to accept or reject Him.
I freely love and accept Him and His plan for me — which is why I am "doing battle" with Obama.
Do you find my "theology" here to be entirely beyond the pale of your doctrine? My basic point is: Obama and his ilk have already rejected Him.
The rest of us flawed mortals should NOT make the same mistake. Especially if we call ourselves "Christians."
FWIW.
But... but... they've called us NAMES!
My feelings are hurt; so I think I'll just sit in the yard and eat worms 'til they go away.
