Its already online won’t be hard...
And then there are quotes like this by LDS Apostle Orson Pratt (Romney and Hunstman are descended from his brother Parley who was also a kook)
That vegetables as well as animals have spirits, is clearly shown from the fact that they have capacity for joy and rejoicing.... We are compelled to believe that every vegetable, whether small or great, has a living intelligent spirit capable of feeling, knowing, and rejoicing in its sphere....
This is the origin of spiritual vegetables in Heaven. These spiritual vegetables are sent from Heaven to the terrestrial worlds, where, like animals, they take natural tabernacles, which become food for the sustenance of the natural tabernacles of the animal creation. Thus the spirits of both vegetables and animals are the offspring of male and female parents which have been raised from the dead, or redeemed from a fallen condition.... Pratt, The Seer, March 1853, pages 34, 38; July 1853, pages 102-103; see also Doctrine and Covenants 77:1-4.
Last night a carrot screamed just as my wife prepared it for dinner.
“These spiritual vegetables are sent from Heaven to the terrestrial worlds,”
I’m sure you know this, but for lurkers, mormons teach that EVERYTHING on earth started in heaven first.
The quote above is just one example. This is all based on a poor translation of a Bible verse! Yet, even
when it is pointed out, they still believe it because their faith is feelings based, not fact based.
The BIGGEST problem, hands down, is the covenant made where you pledge EVERYTHING, “time, talents, etc” to the LDS Church. In short, the Church comes before ANYTHING which includes the U.S. Now while they may not often be in conflict, they will be at times. So if Romney is elected who will be the real POTUS? It will be the President of the LDS Church, that’s who.
I don’t think many GOPers really know that. We probably do, but the non-political junkie types may not. They only know the LDS neighbor who is “pretty nice people”. And I am not saying they are NOT nice. But if you want the LDS Church to run America ... vote Mitt for POTUS.
