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.
I’ll say one last thing: I don’t think someone who has positioned himself to become president is all that “gullible.” Maybe the peons are, but I wouldn’t worry about that.
That’s the thing. All the things you raise pale in comparison to real world issues. All this religious stuff is irrelevant.
If this election turns on magic underwear and proxy baptisms, I’ll be real surprised. Most people will see such as attempts to appeal to prejudice and it will be ruled out.
