“Charles M. Larson: “Their (Mormons) belief system and scriptural writings still proclaim and teach that God approves of racism by ‘cursing’ with dark skin and ‘blessing’ with light skin. And to people like myself, this is reason enough to not lend credibility to such an organization by offering one of its members the office of president of the United States.”

Mr. Larson must have missed the Old Testament verses about “drawers of water and hewers of wood.” The Christian Bible contains many verses which are now ignored. How many agree with capital punishment for adultery, or for failing to keep the Sabbath holy?

Why wouldn’t we want a president whose ultimate aspiration is to be a god?

I'm curious where you get the idea that these verses are associated with skin color.

I still think we should keep the Sabbath day holy, although I must say it isn’t observed much any more. You don’t?
