Let us assume the claims that President Obama is a Muslim are true and America elected a President who lied about his faith. Okay, I will accept that. Perhaps McCain would hold the presidency. However, I am astonished how far Romney has come given his professed faith: A Mormon. For the record, Mormonism is just as far from Christianity as Islam; there are no lesser of two evils here.
What is the purpose of the Mormon Church? That man can become God:
"I am going to tell you how God came to be God. We have imagined and supposed that God was god from all eternity, I will refute that ideas, and take away the veil, so that you may see.
It is the FIRST PRINCIPAL OF THE GOSPEL to know for certainty the character of God, to know that we may converse with Him as one man converses with another, and that he was once a man like us, yea that God Himself the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth the same as Jesus Christ did...Here then is eternal life—to know the only wise and true God, and you have got to learn how to be Gods yourselves, the same as all Gods have done before you"
Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pp 346, 347.

So far, we have a man running for the presidency who wants to become a god! Does anybody see a problem with this? Another fundamental doctrine of the Mormons-The Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints- if that is not enough to get you thinking is that Joseph Smith lived and died a true prophet of God - Joseph Smith, The Prophet, p. 485. Additionally, nothing can stop Joseph Smith's prophecies from coming true - Journal of Discourses, Vol. 25, 1884, p. 98. What was Joseph Smith's Prophecy concerning the Temple?
"Hearken, O ye elders of my church, saith the Lord your God, who have assembled yourselves together, according to my commandments, in this land, which is the land of Missouri, which is the land I have appointed and consecrated for the gathering of the saints. Wherefore, this is the land of promise, and the place for the city of Zion. And thus saith the Lord your God, if you will receive wisdom here is wisdom. Behold, the place which is now called Independence is the center place; and a spot for the temple is lying westward, upon a lot which is not far from the court-house" (Doctrine and Covenants, Section 57:1-3).
Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, in Zion, Jackson County, Missouri, July, 1831.
Joseph smith repreached this same message in 1832 with clarity. "For verily, this generation shall not all pass away until an house shall be built unto the Lord, and a cloud shall rest upon it, which cloud shall be even the glory of The Lord, which shall fill the house." Joseph Smith preached the same message two more times affirming that the generation of 1832 would not pass away until the "Mormon Temple" is completed.
Elder Orson Pratt continue to preach after thirty nine years had passed, that the generation of 1832 would still build the temple on the spot that had been selected. Within his proclamations, details changed (the size of the church and number of people involved). Was the temple built by the generation of 1832, and was the prophecy of 1832 considered a false prophecy by Joseph Fielding Smith in 1972?
No, the temple was not built, and yes, it is a false prophecy because no soul living in 1832 was still alive. The Latter-day Saints never built a temple in Missouri at the place appointed. They do not own the property. In fact, Zion was moved out of her place two weeks prior to Smith receiving this prophecy. He was in Kirkland, Ohio, and unaware of the Missouri problem when he gave the revelation.
Is America going to vote for a man as its president who believes in a doctrine of demons, and is easily decieved? Probably... I believe Harold Camping should run as his Vice President! There is much more about the mindlessness of Mormonism, but that should do for now.

Personally, I don't believe Mitt is serious about his religion anyway, whatever he may say. The shame was that his opponents were divided and that division is the only reason he has prevailed so far. Division is a characteristic of the enemy. If his opponents had realised they were playing the enemy's tune and had united under one banner then perhaps Mitt's campaign would have failed early on.
Here is another thought Mark, seems most religious followers in America sit within some watered down version of their religion. When an individual gives completely into his or her faith's doctrine, he or she is considered a radical. I am not sure if Romney is a true follower of Mormonism. If he is a true follower of the Mormon faith, I have to question his motives in regards to presidency. If he follows a watered down version then I must question his integrity.
