Many naive Americans believe that Mormonism is merely another branch of protestant Christianity. Well that’s not what the founders and leaders of Mormonism believed.
According to its founder, Joseph Smith, and Brigham Young, Smith’s successor, Mormons are the only true people of God on the earth. All non-Mormons and their religions are “wrong, an abomination, blind, damned, of the devil, whores, not Christians, groveling in darkness, heathens, ignorant, devoid of fact, pagan and hatched in Hell.”
When Romney made a speech about his religion in 2008 he refused to distance himself from his faith and fully affirmed his Mormonism. Responding to critics, Romney said,
"They would prefer it if I would simply distance myself from my religion, say that it is more a tradition than my personal conviction, or disavow one or another of its precepts. That I will not do. I believe in my Mormon faith and I endeavor to live by it. My faith is the faith of my fathers - I will be true to them and to my beliefs."
Romney, the father of homosexual marriage in America and abortion funding Romney Care in Massachusetts, flip-flops on virtually every issue, but he is adamant about his anti-Christian Mormonism. Romney needs the vote of Christians to win election, but he refuses to “disavow one or another of its precepts.”
Nor can anyone think Romney is merely a casual or cultural Mormon who just happened to be born Mormon. He is an active Bishop in the Mormon church hierarchy. He cannot pretend to be ignorant of the teaching of Joseph Smith and the other “prophets” of Mormonism.
Below is a list of quotes from Mormon leaders and official publications starting with Joseph Smith down to our day. The message is consistent and clear.

AMEN!
We Freepers are lamenting the fact (although NEITHER party has held a convention yet) that the ‘choices’ we’ll have are pathetic.
Folks; the ‘problems’ this Nation has are NOT political; but Spiritual.
They will NOT be solved by politics; but by a renewed spirit.
The BOOK does NOT say:
If my people, who are called by my name, will search themselves and seek an ably qualified Conservative and turn from their profligate ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
See instead: 2 Chronicles 7:14
Namely, we should respect our differences, we should pray to seek God's will and finally, we should not despair over an evil actor in high office.
What matters is whether each of us Christians did what God led us, individually, to do.
I join in earnest prayer for Spiritual renewal throughout this country!
Thank you also for those beautiful Scriptures from Daniel 4!
The very thing I sought in the Presidential primaries was a candidate who would humble himself before God, kneel and ask us to join him in prayer for our country.
Perry had a record of doing just that - but alas, it was not to be.
