The Romney candidacy was the mormon church's most ambitious bid for legitimacy with Christian America. This article by a temple mormon attempts to whitewash the sect and its anti-Christian doctrines and history as "just another Christian" religion while portraying Romney as a paragon of religious virtue who couldn't possibly have been the driving force of the vicious primary campaigns in '08 and '12.

Rewriting history is a much-used tool of mormonism. Rewriting Romney as a hero doesn't wash for those of us who watched him destroy good men in his quest for power.

Why the continued character assassination attempts? It does nobody any good, and the campaign is ended.

I don't understand why a certain group of people here feel the need to keep slinging mud at the guy -- it is totally unbecoming.

Certainly he wasn't as far to the right as I would have liked, and I supported Perry, then Santorum in the primary. But Mitt ran a good campaign and more to the point, I became convinced that he is really a decent, well-meaning guy. I regret he couldn't have been our president.

And now that he is down, gone, and out, why do you want to keep bringing him up and trashing him?

Wow, the hatred of Mormons here is unbelievable. No wonder “conservatives” can’t win. Grow up people.

Try reading the Constitution again.

I have not read the comments on this thread. I do not know enough of the Mormon doctrines to speak about them. I really do not care to take the time to learn new doctrines, there is too much contained from Genesis to Revelation to learn with understanding to take up learning man created traditions.

So my distaste and dislike of Romney cannot be called my bias against his religion. But how can Harry Reid be a member in the same church as Romney? I do not get how two opposite extremes can come together under one religion? Or are they really all that opposite?

I hasten to add I happen to have the same questions for members of the Catholic religion, given that the overwhelming elected and appointed leaders in this nation on this day are liberal Catholics.

Seems to me this nation has devolved into a ‘state’ religion called ‘everybody is doing it’ whatever it happens to be on any given day.

Just as with Obama, one cannot serve two masters.

Oh just a heads up to the finger pointers, I drug my flu sickened body to the polling place and voted for Romney and Akin. The only place I have been in over two weeks was out to vote.

K?

So regarding your secret underwear, isn’t that just part of the problem with your religion? I mean, you have more secrets than the Presidents Book of Secrets.

Is that how God really wants his children to worship him and be Shepherds of Men?

Hold God back until you think they are ready for the next level of “worthiness to prove yourself?”.

Okay, you don’t say it exactly like that but why bother? God makes clear “There is none worthy, no not one” and then he never, ever bothers to correct or change his opinion of man.

But, you have this whole ‘worthiness” thing going on. Why? God, couldn’t care less.

Does this mean we can start talking about Harry Reid’s magic underwear?

"There's no difference between Joseph Smith receiving the Book of Mormon, and Moses going up to Mount Sinai and talking to a burning bush," the jet owner argued.

Yes there is. God didn't talk to Joseph Smith, that is a provably bogus story made up by a guy with delusions of something or other. That's like saying there's no difference between David Koresh or Jim Jones and Moses. The difference between David Koresh and Joseph Smith is that Joseph Smith convinced more people to accept his story.

That said, I am a big fan of Mormon values and their lifestyle. I never had a problem with voting for Mitt because he is a Mormon, not in 2008 and certainly not in 2012. I was apprehensive about him 4 years ago because I thought he would lose some of the evangelical vote, and in a tightly divided electorate, that could make the difference. I think the difference in the past 4 years among evangelicals is that they don't care about Mormonism when the alternative is a Muslim oriented marxist who hates America. It no longer was a big issue. Mitt sensed that as the campaign went on, and became more open about his faith, and I think it helped him when people saw how devout he was.

and while I'd managed to successfully eschew coffee, I became reliant on 5-Hour Energy capsules, an only slightly-less-sinful substitute.

Is that a hoot? Or is that a hoot! LOL!

I would advise the man to stick to natural sources of caffeine, God (or whatever passes for same) be damned!

Yep.... Those Christians were not voting for a Mormon they were voting against Obama..BTW there is NO SIMILARITY between Sinai and the book of mormon
