36. I have to concur

Sat Oct 20, 2012, 08:56 PM

Oct 2012

I was born in Carthage, Illinois, and baptized in the Catholic Church across the street from the old Carthage Jail, where Joseph Smith was - well, killed by the natives. I even know descendants of the natives who perpetrated the deed. I concur; the Mormons are a strange cult. I have read quite a bit about the Mormons and have a copy of their Book. I did a research paper on them while at college many many years ago. They have some truly wacko ideas and the idea of a Mormon president scares the crap out of me.

All one has to do is google Mitt Romney Mormon beliefs American exceptionalism. And after that, look up Romney royalty.

Happily, I have recovered from Catholicism. I follow no monotheist religion. They always seem to be fighting over whose god is better, don't they?
