Is Glenn Beck Attempting to Fulfill the Mormon 'White Horse Prophecy'?
By David Knowles - AOL News(Oct. 5) -- Is a prophecy known to few outside of the Mormon faith motivating Glenn Beck's crusade against President Barack Obama's administration? That's Washington reporter Dana Milbank's conclusion. In an article published Tuesday at The Huffington Post, Milbank details the history of Joseph Smith's so-called "White Horse Prophecy." Though two of Smith's followers are said to have heard him deliver the prophecy in 1843, it was not actually written down until the 1850s, when the men were elderly and Smith had passed away. In 1855, Smith's successor, Brigham Young, distilled the prophecy ...

OSTEEN: Well, in my mind they are. Mitt Romney has said that he believes in Christ as his savior, and that's what I believe, so, you know, I'm not the one to judge the little details of it. ...

Does America Have Faith in Romney?
By Tommy Christopher - Politics Daily"Faith in America", Mitt Romney's speech today at the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library, was billed as a pivotal moment for the candidate, a chance for him to quell concerns from evangelical Christians about his Mormonism. Basically, it was a chance to pick up votes from people who believe that the Earth is 6,000 years old, by assuring them that his beliefs aren't too "out there." I saw a bigger opportunity for Mitt. Let's see how it turned out. ...
Romney's Religion
By Dave - Politics DailyRomney is set to speak this week on his faith and why it shouldn't keep him from being president. If this seems like a tricky thing to do it's because it is. He's a Mormon, or Latter Day Saint, and many Evangelical Christians have been taught and believe that this is a cult. So Mitt Romney now has to explain his faith to a hostile audience whom he's trying to get to vote for him, all without blaming them for being bigoted rubes. Good luck, Mitt. ...
