The Romney candidacy was the mormon church's most ambitious bid for legitimacy with Christian America. This article by a temple mormon attempts to whitewash the sect and its anti-Christian doctrines and history as "just another Christian" religion while portraying Romney as a paragon of religious virtue who couldn't possibly have been the driving force of the vicious primary campaigns in '08 and '12.
Rewriting history is a much-used tool of mormonism. Rewriting Romney as a hero doesn't wash for those of us who watched him destroy good men in his quest for power.

The only question remaining is, who will issue the fatwa?

Wait a minute . . . what does Romney’s religion have to do with him being a weak candidate? Big oops, on your part.

....And now we see the real difference between Campingites and Salt Lake sect mormons. When Harold Camping's latest prophecy didn't come true his followers had the smarts/shame/honor to finally shut up.

Well, he keeps raising the underwear issue in this article, but he doesn’t seem to be in any hurry to provide any answers to curious readers. Are we just expected to say, “Oh, well, that’s OK then. We won’t ask.”

Show me where in that statement did I bring up Romney’s religion, you really need to stop focusing on it.

I blame you all for Romney losing the election.I don't think a handful of FReepers could possibly have caused the disastrous failure of the ORCA attempt at matching Obama's ground game...perhaps the "mini-mitt-mormons" described in this article were involved in that farce.
In any case, remember there were 52,000 mormon missionaries out there proselytizing for mormonism in much the same way this author does and quite probably 90% of the mormons in the US were electioneering for him.

Romney’s first instinct was to try to persuade the religious right that Mormonism was just another Christian sect.

I don't think that a handful of FReepers amounts to anything, either. Which makes me wonder . . . why would anyone post something about Romney, in order to accuse Mormons of whitewashing and rewriting history?
Seriously, I'm not Mormon, just wondering why.

The jet’s owner, a Catholic businessman with no ties to the Mormon Church beyond Romney, became indignant.
“There’s no difference between Joseph Smith receiving the Book of Mormon, and Moses going up to Mount Sinai and talking to a burning bush,” the jet owner argued.

Well that right there is ignorance gone to seed...
Mormonism is no more related to Judaism than it is to Christianity...
Mormonism is a false religion...a cult..

Read the article. Coppins himself says
"As a Mormon, I intuitively understood Romney's desire to paper over our religion's eccentricities, and disappear the darker chapters of our church's history."Sheesh!!
