According to The Boston Globe link that I received this morning, Mitt “Romney vows a balance on religion.” Well, how does one do this balance... exactly? Does one pick one’s own religious precept (commandment) this time, and then pick someone else’s precept – from whatever source - the next? What if they are contradictory? Which one trumps the other? ... It’s all very puzzling.
If you haven’t already researched what Mormonism entails, try “The Ten Commandments, Mormon-Style”. Or try “The Ten Commandments in Mormonism”. (Check out “6 Thou shalt not kill” with the author’s “few exceptions: capital punishment, warfare against an enemy which threatens our liberty or families, and the like.” ... What does “threaten” mean? What exactly is “the like”?)
You might also want to read “Distinctive Beliefs of the Mormon Church” or “All About Mormons”. If you’re a TV-person, check out “All About Mormons: Part 8: Mormon Familes and Temples”.
