Latter-day Saints have a big stake in Romney's campaign

Let us suppose that Mitt Romney is not the next president. What will this mean for Mormons? There about 5.7 million Latter-day Saints in America.

Mormons claim that theirs is the “one true church”.

Church missionaries spend two years repeating Joseph Smith’s claim that God himself had declared all other churches to be false, all an “abomination” before God and those who professed those creeds are “corrupt”.

Mormons perform proxy baptisms for the dead (usually without the permission or knowledge of the person’s living relatives) to make the posthumous Mormons.

Mormons do not permit non-Mormon parents to be present at temple wedding ceremonies of their own children; forcing couples into making the people who love them wait outside with broken hearts.

Mormon doctrine still teaches that black skin and features are a punishment from God - the Curse of Cain.

Prior to 1990, the temple ceremony included the portrayal of a Protestant minister as a servant of Satan.

Mormon teetotalers feel completely justified in controlling the access to alcohol for non-Mormons who choose to drink.

New laws are routinely vetted by church authorities. A thumbs down or up from the church seals its fate.

While governor of Utah, Mike Leavitt, held secret meetings to study LDS scriptures and determine how "just and holy" Mormon principles could be woven into state public policy.

Yet, Mormons want to whine about intolerance while they are unwilling to examine how their own doctrine and practices discriminate against others?

It is telling that those who express the most animosity towards Mormonism are former members or non-members who live in Utah. Mormons are reaping what they have sown.

Well Spoken. ;)

The Mormon Cult Sect doesn't want anyone to review the facts about their weirdo so-called faith; buried golden tablets, magical underwear, living on other planets, becoming gods themselves, baptism for other religion's dead ( including Jewish), after death having over 100 wifes (sounds like the terrorist beliefs in Iraq), their false prophet Hinckley having revelations from God, teachings that God currently inhabits a actual physical body, not being permitted to think for themselves apart from the group, and only accept what they are told by their Sect elders, and that all non-mormons (they call us Gentiles) will go to Hades.
