What is wrong about that statement? He invented a religion so he could do whatever he wanted, and all of the supporting stories and accounts of Joseph Smith talk about him as a con-man, looking for the next thing to cheat people out of money. Well, if no one likes your ideas, make those ideas a religion; suddenly people believe them because "god" said so.
Just like I said earlier as well, you go out of your way to make it about Obama. Where is the conversation? You accuse me of baiting, and then you post this? Really?

No, its not about Obama, its against Romney and his beliefs.
I guess they did a poll, and figured not enough people watch them, there arent that many Mormons, except in Utah, to make such statements.
He should be fired.

Yeah, I have to agree with you here.
Is he wrong? No. Is he politically correct? No. Are his words derogatory and intolerant? Yes.
I'm off for the night. Have a good one guys, we can throw figurative stones and wave figurative swords at each other tomorrow. Be safe and live well!

14.1 million Mormons in the US.
Joseph Smith's character can be attacked with ease. The legacy of the established Church cannot so easily be attacked. Regardless of his life, the Church itself it fairly sound. They have one of the only Churh organizations in the world that everything is taught identical throughout everything, whereas other Churches let the local leaders teach.
On any given day, all Mormon churches are teaching the exact same thing. You don't go to one or another and get a completely different message.
The current LDS main Church does not support polygamy either.
It is a hard 'faith' to argue against because so many of the teachings are positive and nearly perfectionism.

I agree if you find meaning and satisfaction within your beliefs more power to you.
I do have some objection to posthumously baptizing dead people. Especially people from other faiths, like Ann Frank. Theres a series of videos out there where converted Mormons talk about the church, can anyone remember what it is called?

Mormons believe that they can posthumously baptize people through the correct method.
They believe that during the great apostosee that many of God's ways were lost, but many people continued on what they had known or could remember.
The Book of Mormom was supposedly originally written prior to the arrival of Jesus Christ. The book was buried in what is now New York prior to the great apostee of North America. The book was not meant to be found until later on to reestablish the Church structure of God.
If you review the structure of the Mormon church, it follows the same structure that Jesus had established.
The Book of Mormom relays how the Church should be structured and the correct process for doing rituals, such as baptizing by full emersion as opposed to some having holy water sprinkled over their head. It covers on the proper commitment to marriage and covenents to God that people follow.
The book of Mormom has a exceptionally strong message about families and that everything starts in the family. To be honest, a lot of the messages in that book are strong moral values that would do society good.

Consider this. The book of Mormom was found in like 1823 or something. You can baptize, by full emersion, after death - because at that point the person is considered to have stood in front of Jesus for their judgement and at that point should/would fully accept that God exists, right? So they baptize the body.
Muslims wash the body after death.
The Book of Mormom states that man continued on rituals and whatnot after God's church was destroyed. They didn't quite know what they were doing since the Church of God had been destroyed. But go forward and Muslims, hundreds of years later, are washing the body of the dead. Could that lend some truth to the concept that the Book of Mormon portrays?
It really is interesting stuff.
