Fine - but mormons don’t believe in the God of Abraham. They believe in millions of Gods that inhabit their own planet.

I’m not suggesting that one should only vote for candidates that are of the same denomination. I’m saying that anyone who has been deceived into believing any wacky religion like Scientiology, Branch Davidians, Mormonism, etc., lacks discernment and therefore doesn’t have the qualities to be a president.

I have a Mormon friend. He believes in the Trinity. Take about stereotyping and rumor. Sheesh.
We can make an entire list of "wacky" beliefs about any religion if it's not the religion, or lack of, that we believe in.
I just don't think it's a good idea to vote for someone who wants us all beheaded.

Patriarchal Blessings

Patriarchal blessings are given to worthy members of the Church by ordained patriarchs. Patriarchal blessings include a declaration of a person’s lineage in the house of Israel and contain personal counsel from the Lord. As a person studies his or her patriarchal blessing and follows the counsel it contains, it will provide guidance, comfort, and protection.

Declaration of Lineage

A patriarchal blessing includes a declaration of lineage, stating that the person is of the house of Israel—a descendant of Abraham, belonging to a specific tribe of Jacob. Many Latter-day Saints are of the tribe of Ephraim, the tribe given the primary responsibility to lead the latter-day work of the Lord.

Because each of us has many bloodlines running in us, two members of the same family may be declared as being of different tribes in Israel.

It does not matter if a person’s lineage in the house of Israel is through bloodlines or by adoption. Church members are counted as a descendant of Abraham and an heir to all the promises and blessings contained in the Abrahamic covenant (see Abrahamic Covenant).
