There is certainly much I find phony about Mormonism. The idea that God was once a person. Spiritual wives, etc. And didn’t Jesus say he would not be back until the 2nd coming, when there is a new heaven and new earth? So if someone says “there he is”, don’t listen. But a lot of the criticism is also just hair-splitting. The bible itself never mentions a trinity; that just became church dogma. There may be other “faces” of God we weren’t told about. But my overly belabored point is that Romney is running for president, not pastor. I, for example, would not care if a president is Muslim if he had pro-American values. Granted that Muslim values tend to directly conflict with American ones, but the point remains. Would I rather live in a pure Christian nation? Certainly. But God apparently did not give us that option.

(Yeah, well you can't find the word "Bible" in the Bible, either...I'm sure that doesn't stop you from reading it, does it?)

"Christian" is barely mentioned in the Bible (book of Acts by non-Christians)...And I can't find "Christianity" in the Bible, either.

And when it comes to a description of God and those who follow Him, ya wanna tell me where the word "monotheist" pops up in the Bible?

Lame. Lame. More lame.
