In reply to the discussion: Mitt Romney: "I tasted a beer once, as a wayward teenager, and never did it again." [View all]freshwest

Kolob
According to several LDS writers (such as Cleon Skousen in his book The First 2000 Years), the earth was created near Kolob over a period of 6000 years (six "days" in Kolob time), and then moved to its present position in our solar system.[30][31][32] This hypothesis is based on oral comments attributed to Joseph Smith, Jr.[27] The hypothesis is also based on a passage from the Book of Abraham stating that in the Garden of Eden, time was measured "after the Lord's time, which was after the time of Kolob; for as yet the Gods had not appointed to Adam his reckoning".[33] According to the hypothesis, the reason that Earth time was measured in Kolob time was because the earth was physically located near Kolob. As a corollary, some LDS writers argue that at the end times, the earth will be plucked from the solar system and returned to its original orbit near Kolob.[34]

OP
I tasted more than one beer as a teenager and I wasn't the least bit wayward.

Well, I think he's weird. But he's not that weird by ultra-religious standards.

The capper is that he's so out of touch, he thinks he "deserves" to be president.

Unknown, but he founded a successful cult. Romney is a perfect example of that.

I predict a Mitt Romney/Christine O'Donnell pairing. They make a perfect couple.

I've only tasted beer once, and I've never smoked a cigarette (or anything else).
