Falwell U. offers a course that identifies Mormons as belonging to a “cult” that must be defeated.

Theology 678—Western and New Religions.

"The history, doctrines, and present state of the major cults such as Mormonism, Christian Science, Jehovah's Witnesses and Seventh Day Adventism. The course will also include a study of the Occult Movement. Emphasis is placed on the errors of these groups and on methods and materials for confronting them effectively."

Mitt is wealthy and thus blessed by God. All those that he's hurt in his life are just a load of sinners and losers. Nothing to see here, move along.

Don't let them hide behind that game they use to hide their hearts. Jesus didn't let them hide behind it and they killed him for it. That's where the real battle is.
