If Mitt Romney wins the Republican nomination for 2012, President Obama will reportedly have two things to say about him: he's greedy and he's weird. The greed part is based on Romney's work at Bain Capital, which frequently bought struggling companies and laid off workers. The weird part is based on his bad fashion and bad jokes, Politico reports. But Megan Carpentier thinks maybe it's really about Romney being Mormon. Carpentier notes that more than a third of Americans are "somewhat uncomfortable" or "entirely uncomfortable" with voting for Mormons, according to a Quinnipiac poll released in June. Further, Mormonism seems alien to many--the poll found just 25 percent think the religion is very or somewhat similar to their own. Politico's Ben Smith and Jonathan Martin report that Obama's campaign says it's not going after Romney's faith:

Phillip Deng Aguto survived the Sudanese civil war but died alone in a suspected hit-and-run accident along North Temple in the early hours of August 13. Though several cars stopped after the accident, Aguto was alone when police arrived at the scene.

Rabbi Steinberg pronounced a blessing upon the Latter-day Saints in attendance at a Jewish Shabbat, saying his congregation will dedicate a space in its new synagogue in honor of the Church as a reminder that its “graciousness, hospitality and kindness are a model for all religions.”

Recently, Mitt Romney shared with TheSalt Lake Tribune a bit about his recent "political journey," one he admits "was surely not so bizarre as the 2016 campaign." Romney, who was a vocal critic of Trump during the presidential campaign, admits he was critical in the past but that he hopes "that he will be successful in fostering greater prosperity and peace."

Why did Joseph Smith need seer stones and a hat to translate the Book of Mormon? These LDS parents answer these and other tough questions in terms so simple even their little kids could understand.

Standing up for our beliefs doesn’t always make us the most popular people in the school/office/crowd. The mere fact that we admit we are Latter-day Saints may pre-dispose some to dislike us. As we become “everyday missionaries” and make others aware of our church membership, the chance of being disliked may increase. Our membership in the church automatically says something about our morals, our standards and our values. Our morals, standards and values are anything but popular in today’s world.
