I thought Utah was grateful to Romney for the Winter Olympics??

Answer 1

So basically you are saying everyone in Utah is Mormon, and must therefore be supportive of Romney. That is incredibily ignorant. You'd be surprised at how many people in Utah are Non-mormon. And most of the non-mormons are very Anti-mormon (even more so than I am) so this doesn't surprise me at all. Besides they probably made it clear where it was coming from just because they knew there would be ignorant people like yourself who would assume that means Mormons are against Romney.

Answer 2

No one is saying Romney can’t believe how he wants to believe. But the people voting for him do have a right to question the past decisions that he’s made, including his decision to join and be a part of such a ludicrous cult. If a Rastafarian were running for office, does anyone think that his belief that smoking marijuana to worship God would not be attacked?

Romney believes that that the American Indians are principal ancestors of a lost tribe of Israel, “Jews with cursed dark skin” despite the DNA evidence that has proven this not to be the case. In my view this is also a racist belief.

Romney also believes in a religion that held that God cursed and marked the Africans with dark skin and excluded them from the priesthood (a position later changed in 1976 because the Mormons said they received a revelation from God).

Romney believes a book to be truth (the Book of Mormon) that the archaeological community has unanimously discredited. (see the Smithsonian institute's official statement). There is no archaeological, linguistic, or geographical evidence for the Book of Mormon, and there is evidence that it’s the product of Smith's vibrant imagination.

Romney believes that Smith’s Book of Abraham was translated by Smith from Egyptian papyrus that has now been shown by professional Egyptologists to be the work of Joseph's imagination; Smith’s alleged translation of some Egyptian papyrus was nothing more than a common funeral rite found on the chest of a mummy!

Romney believes in a religion where women are viewed as mere helpmates, in the temple they are told to veil their faces and swear to obey their husbands and they are ritually designated one of many queens to his Kingly harem in heaven. Women are not allowed to hold the priesthood power either which creates inequality.

Romney is a member of a religion that shuns academic scholarship, scientific research, and logical analysis when it conflicts with the Mormon dogma.

Now, knowing what Romney believes in and deducing how he arrives at those beliefs, isn’t it reasonable for people to question his logic and thought process in choosing to believe these things? Do we really want a man in charge of the most powerful nation in the world, making decisions not based on evidence and scientific research, but rather on praying and waiting for a “burning in his bosom”? Romney will believe what the Mormon church tells him to believe. You think the weapons of mass destruction charade was bad, just wait till this guy is in office!

Answer 3

It's a free country. There are a lot of telecommunications operations run thru Utah. They will be wasting their money.
