From the article: Bill McKeever, founder of Mormonism Research Ministry, a Evangelical Christian ministry challenging the claims of Mormonism, said "people need to ask themselves if Romney's Mormonism will affect them personally, and if so, in what way." McKeever said it is not rare for Mormons to excuse the comments of their past leaders by classifying them as "speculation or opinion." "To imply that the ban on blacks holding the priesthood was mere ‘policy' is also misleading," McKeever said. Jabriel Ballentine, seminarian at Virginia Theological Seminary, said “everyone should question the beliefs of all the candidates”. "We might not agree with all of the beliefs of any candidate. However, we must pay attention to the implications of one enacting their beliefs," Ballentine said..

From the article: The Mormons famously put their heresy this way: “As man is now, God once was. As God is now, man may become.”

Lds "prophet" Lorenzo Snow is the one who delivered this doctrinal couplet into the hands of Mormons. But he was merely giving a succinct version of the doctrine promoted by Joseph Smith in 1844...from the King Follett sermon.

But let's "Personalize" this couplet: Mormons essentially believe the following: “As Mitt Romney is now, God once was. As God is now, Mitt Romney may become.”

NOW do you understand the blasphemy a bit better?

Or how about this application of Mormon doctrine? “As Harry Reid is now, God once was. As God is now, Harry Reid may become.”

Let's put it this way: Does a Mormon believe that if an unbelievers don't convert to Mormonism, they should be KILLED?

We could always ask Massachusetts residents how Romney's Mormonism actually affected them personally. But I don't think you'd find much ammunition there, eh what??

I worry that the Dems will make mincemeat of Mitt, ridiculing all the things that strike many as odd about the Mormon beliefs. While many worry that conservative Christians on the Republican side may not vote for Mitt because of his views, I think the issues will be much bigger in the fall, with millions of Democrats openly savaging him.
