A Mormon president?

So what happens if Mitt Romney becomes our next president? Will we be forced to read the book of Mormon? Coerced into wearing special secret underwear? Will the Mormon church finally let us mere mortals enter into the most secret places of their immaculate temple in La Jolla?

My answer is no, no and no. It will be interesting to see how this election turns out. No matter who gets elected, God is still in charge. Throughout history God has allowed outright wicked men to rule over his people. God doesn't just hand over the keys to running a particular country with no restrictions. It may seem like chaos (even now with the mess that is the Iraq war) but God has not abandoned us.

So what is the average tax-paying citizen to do? Pray. The Bible cleary tells us to pray continually (1 Thess. 5:17). I'm praying even now before we actually get a new president. As a family, we pray for our president, governor, mayor and city council. God can move in anyones heart, so let's continue to pray for our elected officials.

That would be kinda crazy to have a Mormon president... Mormon theology is pretty whacky, and I have to admit that I believe Mormons are either: a) Totaly uninformed about their own theology, and don't bother to investigate the most important thing in their life, (salvation) b) less intelligent people, if they have read all of thier books and still think that their cult is the one true church then they may be a few cents shor to fo a dollar or c) brainwashed... Non of these traits are acceptable to have and be the leader of the free-world... - Aaron B.

Good thoughts Aaron, thanks. You are right. I'm amazed at the millions of Mormons who manage to somehow overlook all the shady issues with their religion. Can't say having a Mormon run our country would be my first choice.
