For Mormon&#8217;s Jesus Christ joins a long line of gods who have preceded him in an infinite line of divine beings. That in fact faithful Mormon men can also become a god. So I think it is a little disingenuous to speak using normal monotheistic idea of God in a political speech when LDS theology holds to multiple gods, where God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are all separate gods and that they are in addition to an unknown number of gods.<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">Though while I totally disagree with LDS theology, this does not mean that I wouldn&#8217;t vote for a Mormon. I am just not that thrilled with this particular Mormon in that I do not feel very solid on his conservatism and his new-found pro-life beliefs. Fiscally conservative he probably is, socially conservative is another story.<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">Note: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catholic.com\/library\/gods_of_the_mormon_church.asp\">The Gods of the Mormon Church<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently Mitt Romney in his announcement for president said: &quot;I believe in God and I believe that every person in this great country, and every person on this grand planet,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4214"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4214\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
