OK, I missed “adult” life. I’ll give you that. Still, like I said, why would he want to discuss it?

In any event, if he’s a polytheist, then his thinking he’s going to be a god shouldn’t be such a big deal to him. To him, all of his fellow believers are going to be gods.

So, no big deal. Your point falls apart.

Anyway. all presidential wannabees have grand visions of themselves. I doubt any of them got that swelled head because of their religion.

Do you really think the average American gives a hoot about what Mormons believe?

Granted.

But note I tied this worldview into two areas of Romney...one his arrogance/pride/character...which you've tried to address here...and the other...his vulnerability to deception...his gullibility...which isn't addressed by your "swelled head" comment...

The Mormon church over the past two years LEADS the nation in affinity fraud amongst various religious groups. Lds.org is even putting out press releases about it. (You have to understand that the LAST thing in the world the Lds church would do, PR wise, is to initiate a poor-reflection on-their-people press release). They are a highly gullible people...spiritually...financially. It will be all too easy for people...for foreign-policy contacts...to pull one, two, three, etc. over on Romney. He lacks the requisite discernment for being THE leader of the free world.

Look how Romney was hoodwinked in MA with same-sex marriage, etc.

Do you really think the average American gives a hoot about what Mormons believe?

Yes. For the more conservative Americans, they are wrestling whether it's enough to override what Obama believes (politically, socially, etc.).

For the Independents out there? By the time you give the Dems & MSM a full 6-month media storm on Romney's racist ties, his godhood wannabe-ism, his necro-baptismal ties, his magic underwear, etc...yeah, enough of them will to make a difference.

Doncha underestimate the MSM...the Dems...and Evangelicals who don't want to commit the sin of idolatry...voting for a rival of God who thinks he's in the same divine league as God.

In any event, if he’s a polytheist, then his thinking he’s going to be a god shouldn’t be such a big deal to him. To him, all of his fellow believers are going to be gods. So, no big deal. Your point falls apart.

Well, then, you don't understand how much idolatry is as an "anathema" to the Christian community.

Those who set themselves up as competing gods (like temple Mormons...who are about 15-20% of all Lds)...makes voting for one who we know to be such a temple Mormon...as aiding and abetting idolatry.

Well, below is yet another dimension that applies not only to the campaign season, but what would be the case if Romney got into the White House.

First...

Campaign season:
I can't help but think if it was any, ole cultist other than a Mormon,
...the thought that a mainstream POTUS candidate confesses to originating from another planet in another galaxy is a lil' mind-boggling...
...given that this pretense-front exists as predicated by the RINO GoP-establishment: "Oh, all's normal Election Cycle 2012!"

"Oh, Mitt. You're were spirit born somewhere else???"
"...Then you came to Earth to inhabit a body?"
"...That's nice."

Then comes...

2013 & beyond if Mitt was THE leader of free world...at least scenario below would be the case upon $Millions & $MILLIONS of $ spent on PR by the Lds church:

"Yes! We, too, want ALL our kiddies of the U.S. & world to emulate you as POTUS and grow up just as you did you..."
"...so that they, too, can embrace this worldview for all..."
"...in which our kiddies in exactly the same way" [Which, btw, is what MR believes] "have traversed from the far galactical reaches from that little hamlet in the sky, Kolob..."
"...all the way to Planet Earth..."
"...and then...donned the White House like a glove..."
"...before progressing to some Great White Throne as 'god' of his own planet..."

Boy...What a narrative Lds, Inc. PR agents will have to work with to hand off/peddle to the kids of America & the world!

Mormon priesthood workers of the various galaxies, unite! The everlasting Mormon United Order rises from the ashes again!
