Originally Posted By ecdc Those first two predictions are awful, if he's trying to be serious. First, Huntsman probably knows better than to make a 2012 run. He'll probably let Romney be the Mormon candidate and then run in 2016. He'll have a much better shot - he's much more likable than Romney and doesn't give that air of "I'd sell my own mother to gypsies to be President." Any Republican candidate faces a major uphill battle against Obama in 2012, and this prediction is saying Obama will lose. Romney has a looooong road ahead, and if he's the nominee, he'll face the same dilemma McCain faced of a split party - with the sane supporting him and the teabaggers not. The second is just silly. The Book of Mormon is in King James English and is going to be a snoozefest for most anyone who picks it up and thumbs through it. Plus they know if they so much as think about the book, one of their Mormon friends will give it to them for free. People aren't interested in other people's books of scripture. But I'm sure the Wikipedia articles on Mormonism will get plenty of hits....

It has caused massive damage to my life and the lives of so many others and I loathe it with all of my heart. It is an evil organization bent on manipulating its blindly following members into doing harm to others and the world would be a better place without it. I'm not telling you to not bring it up anymore. Do whatever you want. But there's more to life than your wacky religion and I hope you can realize it some day.
Originally Posted By Labuda I will stick up for the Mormons a bit - as much disdain as I hold for the organization, they are much help to my godmother (my mom's cousin).

Plus, pretty much all of her friends are people she knows from her church, and they keep her happy. Yeah, she's what I consider sheeple, and she's a freakin' tea bagger, but she's still my family, and I'm glad that the Mormon church is there to help her and others that need it. I just wish they'd quit trying to run other people's lives - an issue that many religions have.
