The questions Romney should answer

Post by _Mercury »

What qualities do you take away from Joseph Smith and what behavior do you find objectionable?

Why did you defer your military obligation via religious methods yet beat the drums of war?

How do you reconcile the unchristian doctrines in Mormonism with your belief you are a Christian?

I would hope he didn't have to answer those questions. The third is the worst. Who would answer a trap question like that? YOU think the doctrines are unchristian. Mormons do not. So answering that question is trying to force him to believe something he doesn't believe from ground zero.

Mercury,

How do you reconcile the unchristian doctrines in Mormonism with your belief you are a Christian?


Could you break this down for us?

Standard stuff. Godhead vs Trinity, the Book of Mormon vs the Bible, Nicene...its a big list.

Some feel Nicene was UnChristian and a pandering to Constantine, including infusing aspects of the story of Sol, Constantine's favorite God. Why are their claims worse off than yours?

That would be a great hour of television. Maybe make it a miniseries.
