Holy shit he knows his stuff. I always assumed politicians were religious just for appearances. Apparently not?

apparently they have these 'excommunication' things too obviously a form of exile and in earlier ages meant probable death for the guy being exiled. it's social control

the problem with that idea is that you assume his public declarations reflect his sincere beliefs.

I spent a fair amount of time researching Mormonism due to one of my good friends while growing up being Mormon, and I do not find much of redeeming quality. Their religious canon approaches Biblical matters in a very haphazard way; it is as though they had forgotten that the Bible's original authors lived well over a thousand years ago in their authorship, and it comes off as accordingly silly. The golden plates and "biblical" revisionist history of Joseph Smith seem like little more than an adhoc excuse to run off into the woods with a bunch of women and pretend no one can touch you. Then again, read the holy books yourself, my opinion is somewhat biased. That kid I grew up with ended up molesting his sister, and then have the Mormon church and the rest of his family basically give him penitential refuge so that he could properly "atone for his sins".

That is a problem with any politician, not just Mitt Romney.

From the religious people that I know (we talk about the election togeather and how we're gona steal the election from the democrats from our tax exempt cabins up north don't tell the govt k?) Mormanism is a cult inside utah, outside of that its a pretty normal religion. Mormanism is really fucked up and a lot of guys I know wouldn't want anything to do with a morman as president. But beacuse obama seems to be making it a non issue and romney is from mass Its not really being brought up with people.
