Mitt Romney and the Mormon Church: Questions on Aug. 23, 2012

Let's start with the positive. This pamphlet encourages readers to vote their conscience and not choose the lesser of two evils. For the record, I am considering a third party candidate that most closely reflects my views. For the purposes of disclosure, I am a practicing Latter Day Saint. I love my Savior and Heavenly Father. My faith in God is not a product of coercion as the author suggests. The office of High Priest is just that and not a title or a reward. It is a call to serve God's children. The royalty that is ascribed to Romney is none other than the royal heritage that we all share as God's children. Romney enjoys no special privilege as a former bishop and stake president. Genealogy is not an entitlement. What the author does very well here is show his bias against the LDS church. His evidence is not uniformly well established. Do yourself a favor and don't vote for Romney because of his religion. Do yourself another favor and sit down with a faithful Mormon who you can trust. Ask them the questions that are important to you. Don't just drink this koolaide offered in this pamphlet.

Opinion presented as fact is still opinion. Take it for what it's worth... nothing more than opinion. Go out and get to know your mormon neighbors. Ask the hard questions. See the good they do. See their imperfections and the efforts made to overcome them. Ask yourself the hard questions as well: could this be true. Then ask God if it's true and have the courage to act on the response you get. There are bound to be more mormon candidates in the future. Get used to that idea. They aren't dummies and their faith doesn't make them dangerous candidates as this opinion piece suggests.
