Well GW Bush certainly doesn't give more credibility to Christians.
I don't think you can judge any group or organization by one or a small group of people.
Think it's time we started seeing individuals for who they are and treating each according to their own merits instead of generalizing and lumping everyone in together by what religion, race, sex etc, etc they are.

The Mormons believe we all lived in Heaven with Heavenly Father, several Heavenly Mothers, and 20 Billion Heavenly Siblings before we were born here on Earth. Then there was a war. The good guys won and were born White. The bad guys lost and became demons. Those who were neutral or did not fight bravely were born with non-white skin. The bravest of the brave were born to Mormon families.
We all know that Romney must have been a "Valliant Warrior" in the "War in Heaven" during the "Pre-Existence". How else could he have been born "White and Delightsome" to an LDS family here on Earth? Heck, he was probably one of the Commanding Generals . Now , America needs a President with valuable military experience like that to get us through our war in Iraq. Could you please ask "The One and Only True Prophet", Gordon Hinkley, to please release those valuable records to the public? We need to know what battles he fought in. How many medals he won. How many of the "Less Valliant Soldiers" he recommended being born with black skin when they got their chance to be born on Earth. Was Al Sharpton one of THEM ? How about Jesse Jackson? Mormons, this is your chance to show the world the light of the everlasting gospel. Dont miss out. We have General Romney running for president of the USA and we need you badly right now!

No, I would say it actually takes away from their credibility. Donny Osmond's show got cancelled after 1 episode. Hahaha

~mom Teresa shouldn't the Celestial Kingdom as a results of fact she hasn't married. No woman can get into heaven and not using a husband. we are no longer the judges. it somewhat is God's territory. in spite of this, however, we don't think that ladies people who are not married can no longer inherit the celestial kingdom. of course they are in a position to. ~the clarification blacks have been given the priesthood interior the '70s exchange into as a results of fact interior the preexistence whites have been greater valiant than non-whites, yet God ran out of white "molds" and had to place righteous spirits in black bodies. This one is entire crap and easily no longer one in each of our ideals. dermis colour isn't a meditated image of righteousness. ~German Mormons who supported Hitler have been righteous, as a results of fact they have been following the Articles of religion--helping the guidelines of their land. many of the Germans who supported Hitler weren't attentive to his evil. Many did no longer have a decision. lower back, God is the choose. we don't coach that they have been righteous purely as a results of fact they observed their us of a's chief. some have been. some have been possibly no longer. ~God had intercourse with Mary to produce Jesus (and in heaven all the boys get distinctive better halves--the greater the merrier). No. it somewhat is purely gross...and extremely stupid. The Bible very needless to say tells us that Mary exchange right into a virgin. ~God gave men the priesthood and girls human beings the potential to furnish beginning (the comparable way he did to woman rats, cats, skunks, and so on.). uncertain why you're bringing animals into it, yet specific, God did divide our household initiatives in this existence. this does not make women human beings or men lesser in any way. we are equivalent in God's eyes. No offense on your mom, yet she the two by no potential went to church or has forgotten what Mormons truly have self assurance. That exchange into particularly lots finished nonsense. So no, that's no longer what Romney believes. Who might?

As much as John Travolta and Tom Cruise give credibility to Scientology.
Just some of them are better than others at acting closer to social norm.
Not that any of them are right or wrong - just some of the more savvy ones don't necessarily throw their beliefs in your face.

All one has to do is know Mormons to give us credibility.

If the above post is indicative of how mormons believe, Mr Romney should never be entrusted as our Commander in Chief. Running a corrupt Olympics is one thing, but the US needs a leader with his (or her) roots solidly planted in reality, not myth.

Well, let's see:
Their basic scripture, the Book of Mormon, teaches - among other things - that the Garden of Eden was in Missouri and that some of the Jews immigrated to America using some kind of magic compass (despite a complete lack of evidence for that).
I don't think ANYbody could give the LDS church any credibility.

I wouldn't say credibility. It may draw more good attention to the church, but if people don't want to see the good, they won't.

Nope. Celebrity does not confer credibility.
