Mormonism as codswallop

One of the more amusing bits of commentary motivated by Mitt Romney's first Presidential run:

"My residual problem with Romney being a Mormon is not that Mormonism is a faith (the atheist's problem), or that Mormonism is not unambiguously Christian (the Christian's problem), but that it seems such a wacky collection of man-made Moronical codswallop. And I do find myself wondering - even if he is a natural conservative, even if Mormonism is, as he puts it, "the faith of my fathers", including the most recent father whom he hero-worshipped - how on earth a well-educated man who aspires to lead the most powerful and modern nation in the world can seriously believe this stuff. Ah well, there's nowt so queer as folk."

I saw it that way when I was twelve. Boy, oh boy, did I pay for it.

Re: Mormonism as codswallop

That is the thing that baffles me the most. HOW can these adult, otherwise critical thinkers even remotely BEGIN to believe such insane and laughter inducing dribble???

HOW!????
