HuffPost : "Prophet" Joseph Smith preached a sermon three months before his death in 1844, in it he planted the seeds for Mormonism's biggest break with traditional Christianity, according to scholars. In it, Smith preached that God was once a flesh-and-blood man who had attained godhood"

.
"Likewise, Smith taught, humans could advance to God-like status in heaven" :

If Mitt Romney is President of the United States then his post will be in a big conflict with the obedience that Mormons yield to a "Prophet" in Salt Lake City, and with many oaths of Loyalty that Mitt has rendered to his Mormon Church as an important missionary and later official of this church of Latter Day Saints.

People have not realized that Mormonism is a Brutal Cult and has a Horrible History of Racism against Blacks and Enslavement of Women in Polygamy. Even in our days, Women Slaves for sex exist for the Fundamentalist Mormons, they rape very young girls of 13 or 14 and put them in Mormon Harems. And this does not happen in the most backward country on earth but in the United States of America.

What can you expect of a Religion founded by a scoundrel, swindler, con man, a thief, convicted of some felonies and that practiced a lot of violence, including the enslavement of Women using a lot of lies and hypocrisy. ?? 

In this absurd and idiotic religion each Mormon saved will be a God owning his own planet.  What an Imbecility.

Romney's Evangelical Problem Starts With Theology


Some excerpts :

"It has become important for traditional Christians to maintain an unbridgeable creature-Creator chasm," said Robert Millet, emeritus dean of religious education at Mormon-owed Brigham Young University in Utah.

"For Latter-day Saints, God and man are the same species. God has substance -- he is not just a force or power. He is an exalted, glorified man, and one of the purposes of the Gospels is to help us become what he is."

The idea of humans becoming gods runs counter to mainstream Christianity, said Richard Mouw, president of the evangelical Fuller Theological Seminary in California. Confusing the two has traditionally been considered blasphemous, he said.

The God-as-exalted man doctrine has profound effects on other areas of Mormon theology, according to scholars. For example, Mormons believe that God has a celestial wife, to whom Jesus was born in a premortal existence.

"We believe that Jesus and all humanity had a life before this life," Millet said, "and in that world, Christ was the eldest -- Jesus was our elder brother."

Thus, Jesus is a step below God on the stairway to heaven -- and not an equal member of the Trinity.

Traditional Christianity holds that God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit coexist and share one substance. Mormons "deny the (doctrine of the) Trinity and that's huge," said Mouw.
