Given all of that, if Mit Romney had CONVERTED to Mormonism at age 40 because he claimed the theology appealed to him, THAT would in fact bother me. People being Mormons because they were raised as Mormons will start bothering me when I start seeing Mormons flying airplanes into buildings.
Given NONE of that, because Mit Romney has STAYED in Mormonism since adulthood, evidently indicates that he has blindly accepted the teachings of Salt Lake City. THAT FACT bothers me. It shows he is a shallow thinker; not willing to dig into MORMONism, when the WORLD knows what it stands for; as you so easily pointed out.
Just like ObamaCare (We have to PASS this law to find out what is in it) MORMONism does NOT give up it's weirdness to a casual observer. One MUST go the the rituals to find OUT about the rituals; right MORMON convertees?
Those stolen and barely modified Masonic posturings are not SACRED, as MORMONism loves to claim; but SECRET!
If they WERE 'sacred', you could actually FIND them in the LDS scriptures. One will look there in vain.
Try to find the FULLNESS of the gospel in the Book of MORMON.
It's a fools errand.
