Is Mitt Romney too gullible to be President of the US if he believes God lives near a star called Kolob?

Nope and Mormons don't either. It is not a part of our doctrines and not one of our teachings, although those who hate us would love it to be true. "Kolob" is the name given to the star closest to the throne of God in Abraham 3:3.

It is introduced in an effort to teach Abraham that there is a hierarchy in all things. There are many stars, and one star is "closest" to God. In a similar way, there are many intelligences, or moral agents, some greater than others.

The greatest of these is God. Thus, "Kolob" is introduced in a rather peripheral way in an effort to teach about the supremacy of God: Howbeit that he made the greater star; as, also, if there be two spirits, and one shall be more intelligent than the other...And the Lord said unto me: These two facts do exist, that there are two spirits, one being more intelligent than the other; there shall be another more intelligent than they; I am the Lord thy God, I am more intelligent than they all. (Abraham 3:18-19) In an effort to make the Church look bizarre, many critics mock the idea of "God living on the planet Kolob."

This is false as God does not live on Kolob. Kolob plays no real role in LDS doctrine or discourse. The only other mention comes from a 19th century hymn, which uses Kolob in its first line to describe the glorious life of those who return to God: There is no end to glory There is no end to love There is no end to being There is no death above.

Instead of believing what non-Mormons spout about what Mormons believe, go the the actual manuals used by the church in teaching and practicing the religion. They are available for free online.

Then how can you judge him. He isn't the president right now. I suppose that all of these people bad mouthing him is a good sign that he is doing something right.

You see criticism does not work. Criticism fails. It least, it doesn't work with me.

When I see people being crtical about someone over their religion, then I know that this person is doing this out of fear or emotion. If you want to be critical, then at least do it with truth or something that means something to everyone in this country. I believe in God.

But one's religion does not matter to me. Nor is it something I should use against someone.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
