Man, if you believe in that Voodoo stuff, fine with me Now this is voodoo... According to the traditional, literal LDS interpretation of the Book of Abraham, Kolob is an actual star or planet in this universe that is, or is near, the physical throne of God. According to Joseph Smith, Jr., this star was discovered by Methuselah and Abraham [10] by looking through the Urim and Thummim. [11] Mormon leader and historian B. H. Roberts interpreted Smith's statements to say that the solar system and its governing "planet" the sun, revolved around a star known as Kae-e-vanrash, which itself revolved with its own solar system around a star called Kli-flos-is-es or Hah-ko-kau-beam, which themselves revolve around Kolob, which he characterized as "the great centre of that part of the universe to which our planetary system belongs". [12] He was confident that this hierarchy of stars orbiting other stars would be confirmed by astronomers. [13] Al

>>"Man, if you believe in that Voodoo stuff, fine with me :) For me they provided for a lot of useful information and if they believe their Frankenstein rites can do something to all those dead souls, fine with me. "<< Yup, I agree with you...believing "in that Voodoo stuff " and "believe their Frankenstein rites can do something to all those dead souls" is ok...it happens a lot in religions...nutty to my way of thinking and certainly difficult for me to understand how an educated, intelligent person in the 21st Century could buy into this stuff and also be a member of its "clergy"...but ok. Now if he/they want to be part of the country democracy and represent constituents as legislators, state or national, and/or governors of states and they get elected...OK, by me. However, when that person wants to be President of the United States, sole control of the use of 5000 plus Nukes and Commander in Chief of the most powerful military mankind has ever known, then his most important beliefs, his religion, are very fair game to bring up and certainly understand. Also, this very pious Mormon as I understand it, takes his religious direction, his most important beliefs, from some guy in Utah and he would/could not deny those directions.. I draw the line... I don't want that guy who believes in "that Voodoo stuff and "Frankenstein rites" plus gets his fundamental faith direction from Utah sitting the Oval Office as the most powerful man in the world.
