Don't make fun of them,
they have a right to have
their moronic beliefs respected.

I could vote for somebody who was BORN INTO Mormanism fairly easily; I couldn’t vote for somebody who converted to it. The Mormon church functions mainly as a support group for middle class people trying to raise children, which is commendable. The good news for Mormons is that most people don’t really give a rat’s *** for theology; that’s good news for Mormons because theirs is in desperate need of work. What Mormons call theology is vanishingly close to what most people call science fiction.
I have become something of an historian on the early Mormon church, the events surrounding Joseph Smith and then Brigham Young are disturbing. My latest find is “Wife No. 19 or A STORY OF LIFE IN BONDAGE Being a Complete Expose of Mormonism and Revealing the Sorrows Sacrifices and Sufferings of Women in Polygamy” By Ann Eliza Young, apostate wife of Brigham Young.

The downloads are above. Her account of the Meadows Mountain Massacre is chilling (chapter 13), Young was trying to starve out the settlers even before the massacre.
The point is, a lot of the historical baggage of the church will inevitably be sucked into any Romney presidency. What a disaster waiting to happen.
“I could vote for somebody who was BORN INTO Mormanism fairly easily; I couldn’t vote for somebody who converted to it.”
I feel exactly the same way - it’s his family’s tradition.
I am heartbroken! You said you wouldn’t vote for me if I ever ran for something because I am a convert. LOL. Had to give you a hard time, all in fun, FRiend.
Personally, I like Duncan.
Have a wonderful day!

Not that I'm equating the two but what about someone born into Islam? Isn't this an issue of where you draw the line between an acceptable or unacceptable religion? I think that the reason that Romney's campaign is ultimately doomed is that enough evangelicals will put him on the unacceptable side of the line.
“What Mormons call theology is vanishingly close to what most people call science fiction.”
Indeed, if one will take the time to dig into what they “really” believe and teach. In many ways Mormonism makes Tom Cruise almost look sane.
The truth of the matter is that Joseph Smith was the David Koresh of the 19th Century, and something of a con artist like L. Ron Hubbard. The “Family Friendly” exterior is very deceitful. Mormonism is chocolate covered poison.
