Does a devout mormon have a chance to become president
FYI Mitch Romney is a devout Mormon and a former bishop of the Mormon church. Do you think he actually has a decent shot at the presidency, or could his religion be the downfall of his run

Re: Does a devout mormon have a chance to become president
Mormons believe that Native Americans are descended from a group of jews who came to North America in 600 B.C. and became so wicked and evil that god cursed them with dark skin.
That is only the tip of the iceberg wrt to their ridiculous worldview. Who is going to vote for that for president? Believe me if he gets the nomination it will all come out. He'll be confronted about every ridiculous aspect of mormonism and have to address why he subscribes to that kind of nonsense. natedogg

Natedogg has it right. If he gets the nomination, ridiculous mormon beliefs will be fodder for the late night talk shows. I doubt he even gets the nomination because of his religion.

Clearly this is more ridiculous than believing that a Supreme Being housed part of itself in flesh, was birthed by a virgin, and then was sacrificed to atone for all of the world's sins.

The Senate Majority Leader is a Mormon. Harry Reid. [/ QUOTE ] Elected in a Western state with a significant Mormon population, not a national election.
