Many LDS individuals, including some close friends of mine, are extraordinarily skillful at handling adverse questions about their religion. This comes from a long history of training missionaries for debate and persuasion. Mitt, being a slickster, will be all that much better at it.

I hope so, because the more you look at the LDS church, the more problems become apparent.

An example problem relevant to an office-holder: with Christians, their Scripture is laid out and set; with Mormons, you never know what you're gonna get. Tomorrow, they could announce another Revelation that overrides current Scripture, and >poof!< Blood Atonement, (Joseph Smith/Brigham Young-Style), can suddenly be back in fashion! Or polygamy. Or banning blacks from the priesthood.

After all, there are nine(?) different versions of Joseph Smith's story of how he first encountered the plates/angel(s)/etc.
