Controversial New Documentary Asks: Is America Ready For a Mormon President?

Controversial New Documentary Asks: Is America Ready For a Mormon President?In his upcoming film, “A Mormon President,” director Adam Christing explores whether America is ready for a Mormon president. Christing and his team take a comprehensive look at the faith system’s history and the multitude of contemporary thoughts, opinions and controversies that often surround it. Central to the documentary is Joseph Smith, the theocrat, politician and religious leader who founded the Latter Day Saint Movement (also known as the Mormon Church).

In an interview with Deseret News, Christing explains the potential controversy associated with the film. While he personally believes his portrayal of Smith and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is fair, viewers thus far have a diversity of opinion on the matter. He explains:

“…When we screened the early version of the film in Salt Lake, non-Mormons thought it was a pro-Mormon piece. LDS attendees thought it was anti-Mormon.”

Clearly, the documentary, like any other project that has a religious or political theme, is contentious in its own right. You can watch the trailer, below, to get a better sense of the subject matter:

Christing, who attended the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (now known as The Community of Christ) as a child but who now has no allegiance to the Mormon faith, says the film aims to provide viewers with a rich, educational history. While he has been separated from the Church for years, he finds its history fascinating. In an interview with The Blaze, he explains:

“As a kid I was enamored with Joseph Smith. A few years back I started reading more and more about Mormon history. I made a mock-umentary for fun a few years back. After that, I said ‘hey I’ve got to find a way to fuse my passion for film with interest in Mormonism.’”

Controversial New Documentary Asks: Is America Ready For a Mormon President?Thus, the concept for “A Mormon President” was born. The filmmaker first began working on the project back in 2007 during Romney’s initial bid for the presidency. While the final product was intended for television broadcast, Christing changed course, decided to collect more footage and is just now ready to release his completed work.

The film — which will be released on DVD on August 15th — will provide a historical account of Smith’s life conveyed through expert opinion and reenactments that collectively help to bring the story to life.

A separate segment will include profiles and information on former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman — two Mormons currently competing for the 2012 Republican ticket. When it comes to overall goals, Christing makes his clear:

“My main goal is to tell the Joseph Smith story in the most historically accurate way and the most entertaining way possible…”

While the film does, indeed, delve into modern — not to mention historic — critiques of the Mormon Church, Christing strikes an aura of balance. Based on screener footage that The Blaze obtained earlier this week, interview subjects include Mormons, ex-believers and historians — all of whom contribute relevant pieces to the overall puzzle.

The filmmaker tells The Blaze that he is astounded that more documentarians haven’t tackled this fascinating subject:

“Here’s a guy who had the largest standing army outside the U.S., married to 33 women, mayor of the town, ran for president. There’s just so much there.”

In the end, Christing hopes that viewers understand that “ideas have consequences.” In keeping with his stated goal of simply educating the audience, he says:

“Whether you end up embracing Smith, rejecting him, wanting to learn more — it’s a wonderful thing. This doc is almost like history come alive.”

Controversial New Documentary Asks: Is America Ready For a Mormon President?One subject that has already emerged in 2012 campaign discussion is the sometimes fearful reluctance some have to a Mormon assuming the American presidency. The film addresses this issue and provides historical context that helps to better frame where the roots of this opposition originated. The Washington Times has more:

Christing…says public opposition to the candidacies of Mr. Romney and Mr. Huntsman has historic roots.

“Most Americans don’t know that the first U.S. presidential candidate to be assassinated was a Mormon. In fact, he was the founder of Mormonism, Joseph Smith. The Mormon prophet was murdered a few months after he announced his candidacy in 1844,” Mr. Christing says.

The end result is sure to be an intriguing experience for viewers who have an interest in both faith and politics. For more information on the film, click here.

      The way I look at it is: the issue at hand is exorcising the evil we have in power now,
      that is hell bent on destruction of the country, the economy and our way of life.
      Using Christ’s example of casting out demons, the apostles having said they admonished exorcists “not of their party”, Christ said, “if they are not against me, they are for me.”

      So regardless of denominational differences, if they claim a belief in Christ, that is good enough for me, the difference between my denomination and theirs, they can take up with Christ himself.

      The battle is the expulsion of evil.
      look at the numbers we have if we just stand together, (based on 2003 #’s) :

      1. Roman Catholic Church: 67.2 million.
      2. Southern Baptist Convention: 16.4 million.
      3. United Methodist Church: 8.2 million.
      4. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: 5.5 million.
      5. Church of God in Christ: 5.4 million.
      6. National Baptist Convention USA: 5 million.
      7. Evangelical Lutheran Church in America: 4.9 million.
      8. National Baptist Convention of America: 3.5 million.
      9. Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.): 3.2 million.
      10. Assemblies of God: 2.7 million.

      ‘Nuff Said.
      And like the difficult exorcisim of the boy with the dumb demon
      “this one can only be expelled with fasting & prayer”
      Then ya say “LEAVE”
      - Get it ?

      1. Evangelicals will always be sensitive about any other religion. They would not pick any other candidate that was not their brand of Christianity.

      2. By their fruits, ye shall know them. I believe Mitt is an honorable man. Harry Reid, not so much. I am not looking for a person of my religion, I am look for a person who is honorable. His marriage, his belief in God, his dealings. That’s the important part.

      3. If a person has a problem with a Mormon president in this great land of freedom. Then you should pull all their members from the military, burn down all their humanitarian centers, quarantine all their homes, prevent their kids from going to public schools, because in the end, they are just as capable of running this country and enjoying the freedoms as Evangelicals.

      4. This resistance from the Evangelicals will go down in history against them. I have already lost respect for them. I can’t stand to be in the same room with them. I will probably vote for anyone who is not Evangelical. They brought this upon themselves. They have this same animosity towards the Dems and they have tainted our political arena with this “I’m holier than you” attitude. Knock it off Evangelicals.

In 12 step programs they call God as you understand him and you say your in recovery
      so hammering you on Mormonism would not be wise. Stick to the facts and tv books and internet stay away from (Mormonism dealing with siver and gold). Try Christ God all mighty.But be ye not called Rabbi: FOR ONE IS YOUR MASTER, EVEN (CHRIST) and all ye brethren. Matt 23:8. (There is absolutely no system of theology of doctrine to be found in the bible): it simply is not there. But as with most mormons they cant see the light so they will never get the new light bulb in. On this topic.

      I don’t think Mitt is running as a “Mormon” candidate. He is a republican running for president who happens to be a Mormon. Since when do we judge a candidate by what church he goes to? Bill Clinton was supposedly a mainstream Christian. He lived his beliefs really well, didn’t he? If you would help your country to be stronger and you are a Christian, then why not stand together with other Christians, even if you have some theological differences. We are much stronger together than we are apart. The important thing here is to come together on common values and beliefs. The most common value we all have is wanting to see our country regain its greatness again and to be protected from those who would destroy it, whether foreigners or Americans who want to toss out our Constitution in favor of some new socialism. Please stop squabbling about who loves Jesus best. The important thing is that He loves us. We should try to love one another and serve one another. Let’s stand together and take our country back.

      @joyfulmom – We agree completely on one thing; Salvation can only come through Jesus Christ! And yet the Lord still tells us in John 14:5 “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” And in Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Why? Because, while He offers Salvation to those that will accept it, He also offers Exaltation to those that will demonstrate by their works that they will live his teachings and become one with Him and the Father (see John 17:20-23)

      Also, have you never read Psalm 82:6 “I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.”

      And FYI, I’ve openly studied any and all anti-Mormon literature for nearly 50 years now, many that make an even better case than Chip Thompson and I’m still a firm believer! So, I doubt your movie will sway Glen. But, just imagine the great work you and Chip Thompson could do if you focused the same amount of time and resources on actually bringing people to Christ that you do attacking the Mormon’s religion and faith, a religion who’s foremost belief is the divine nature and saving / atoning mission of Jesus Christ!

      Those of you so concerned with the Mormon doctrine of man becoming gods should read history from earlier than the 1800′s.

      St. Athanasius, an early Christian father that was a part of the first Council of Nicea said the following:
      “The Son of God became man so that we might become God.”

      He’s not the only one. It is a very common doctrine that was taught in the early church, but seems to have disappeared over time. Does that make it a doctrine that is wrong? You decide.

      Mark Twain read the book of mormon. Here is a small part of what he thought:

      The book seems to be merely a prosy detail of imaginary history, with the Old Testament for a model; followed by a tedious plagiarism of the New Testament. The author labored to give his words and phrases the quaint, old-fashioned sound and structure of our King James’s translation of the Scriptures; and the result is a mongrel–half modern glibness, and half ancient simplicity and gravity. The latter is awkward and constrained; the former natural, but grotesque by the contrast. Whenever he found his speech growing too modern–which was about every sentence or two—he ladled in a few such Scriptural phrases as “exceeding sore,“ ”and it came to pass,” etc., and made things satisfactory again. “And it came to pass” was his pet. If he had left that out, his Bible would have been only a pamphlet.

      you have your stats wrong on the mormon church membership. they say its 14 million, but they count everyone who ever signed up and every kid who was baptized at age 8. most people leave after they sign up. Its probably because of the internet – any curious members can research the history of the mormon church. Once they do that, its out the door.

      See, the mormon church hides its history. even members on the blaze have no idea of their own church’s history. people post historical facts about the church and mormons respond saying its anti-mormon rhetoric. Why? Because they don’t know its true. They never hear it in church. But with the internet its easy to find joseph smith, brigham young and others own writings – you don’t need to go further than their own words. Book of Abraham scrolls, kinderhook plates, sermons by mormon prophets that used to be part of the church’s official scripture but have been removed . . . for obvious reasons.

      Go do your own research, unless you don’t want to make waves. That’s why its one of the quickest shrinking religions. membership is more like 4 million. just ask any mormon how many are supposedly in their ward – and how many actually really go to church. self-reporting in census in brazil, phillipines, etc. is about 20% of what church claims. Why? They leave sometime after joining when they find out its a fraud. its a dying religion.

      I would be fine with a Mormon. Just as I would a Jewish or Protestant one, as long as it is not their church that calls the shots in our government. JFK Jr caught so much heat for being a Catholic. As a Catholic myself I have a big problem with the beliefs of Mormons, but as an American I believe that they should be able to serve our Nation without prejudice. Our different faiths are personal communion with the all might. Our loyalties should be with each other and our Nation.

      IMO, many of those that oppose Mormons are supposedly “religious” Americans who SAY they love the Constitution YET they totally disrespect Article 6! The DO apply a religious test for office! Where overt or covert, there ARE religious bigots against Mormons. And they come from the right.

      Of course, there are bigots on the left, but I think using religion to “buy” votes is WRONG & no better than any disgust those religious right find with the “left”.

      Many employers specifically look/hire Mormons because of their honesty/moral character. (There are ALWAYS exceptions to that moral/honest…..I’ve known some…….but that is a general trait.)

      For Romney, ask yourself: 1) Does he LEAD like a preacher when Governor? 2) Did he LEAD like a preacher when turning around the economic situation of the Olympics? 3) Did he LEAD like a preacher when running Bain? (altho since that is private, that is less than a problem, I would think)

      If he did not, look at his RECORD of EXPERIENCE. I KNOW he is NOT perfect, but I don’t think GLENN BECK is perfect either! His holier than thou attacks on Romney I dislike and observe how GB gives “passes” to the records of others more easily supported by Beck’s “FreedomWorks.

      Attacks on religious items will come from the right & the left. When it comes from the Religious Right……..I find it even more disturbing!! THEY should understand and live their religion better….as they “profess”. This film

      Good assessment, BOT. Too many libs have no moral compass, nor do they understand people who do. Soros will fund any shallow evil organization that demonizes people who have a belief in something greater than themselves. Non-believers think they are superior and see us as fools, but we know God is supreme and people are all equal and in our country, free to believe as we wish.

      Mormons come in all different ‘flavors’, just as other religions (some radical/some moderate). Most sane people of the 21st century are no longer staunch followers of a book, but are followers of a spiritual God connection for their guidance to become a better man or woman. Although there are still radicals in our country, most religions in America focus on love, acceptance, and forgiveness. Everything else is superfluous.

While I find the LDS people very nice, helpful, wholesome(mostly), commited, non-threatening……..they are also exculsionary, shunning(if you’re not one of them), clannish to a fault, cultlike, controlling(utah lawmaking, liquor laws…WOW), if you don’t drink or use caffeine….fine, but don‘t pass laws telling me I can’t or shouldn’t.

      Mormons are good people who follow a moral code we can all admire, but I’d have a lot of trouble voting for one. I don’t just want a President who’s good, I want one who’s smart. It would rub me the wrong way to vote for someone who claims to believe in a religion that’s based on a scripture that is obviously a fraud made up by a con man. The Bible may contain much that’s exaggerated, but at least we can prove that some of it is true. There really were such people as Hebrews and Egyptians and Romans and Babylonians, and the existence of some of the specific individuals can be independently verified. The Book of Mormon is entirely a work of fantasy from beginning to end. Not one person or place in it has any more basis in reality than those in The Lord of the Rings. And it’s not even well written. The style is just an inferior pastiche of the King James Bible – a not very well-educated guy’s idea of what a Bible was supposed to sound like. Why would a book that’s supposed to be the revealed word of God read like a cheesy imitation of a specific translation of the Bible from two-hundred years earlier?

      I remember the huge outcry when John F. Kennedy was campaigning for POTUS. The media and his opponents warned of Rome dictating the policies of the United States as the Holy Roman Empire did for centuries in the past. Kennedy overcame religious opposition from both parties to win the election. Those fears of the Pope dictating policy to the President were baseless. Unfortunately, as Glenn has pointed out numerous times, there are always the men in the shadows to which he may be obligated to. Fabian Socialists, Skull & Bones etc. Those affiliations need to be brought into the light of day. If the LDS or Catholic churches controlled their members actions neither Reid or Pelosi would be the members of their churches today. Disagree with Mitt Romney on his record, platform and use the questions about the Constitution as a litmus test but don’t be fooled into voting against him as a viable candidate based on his membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. BTW, I find it very interesting that the makers of the above film chose an ACTOR that looks much more like ROMNEY THAN JOSEPH SMITH.

    If Romney is the nominee, I am voting for him even though he is not a christian and a heathen. As long as he is biblically moral, of good character and integrity, he will be miles better the cry baby-in-chief.

    Mormonism is certainly a cult by definition and many are deceived in the LDS church. To claim that Jesus was the brother of Lucifer and not God makes mormonism a cult. Mormons do not believe in the Trinity. That makes you not a Christian. When you have the wrong Jesus, you have the wrong salvation. Sorry my mormons friends, you ought to study the only book that is the Word of God, the Bible. The Book of Mormon is the work of a false prophet Joseph Smith.

    Jesus said “Beware of false prophets” (Matthew 7:15) and the Apostle John warned that “many false prophets are gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1).
    Deuteronomy 18:20-22
    20 But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, is to be put to death.” 21 You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD?” 22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed.

    Here is one example of many of Smith false prophecies:

      I just had to take issue with the whole trinity thing you are espousing. The trinity doctrine that you are clinging to is not in the Bible. It cannot be found anywhere in the Bible. It is a man made doctrine. It comes from the Niceen Creed. The Niceen Creed came about because a man, in about the year 300 A.D., was preaching that God and Jesus were separate people. The ruling theological leaders could not tollerate a divergance from their rule as this man was gaining a significant following.

      So the Niceen Creed was concieved and the man was tried and martyred for blasphamy.

      I have read the entire New Testament and most of the Old Testament, and nowhere have I read about the “Trinity.”

      Mormons may not be mainstream Christians, but they follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and accept Him as God and Savior.

      The Trinity concept, as Pie mentioned, is not a Biblical concept, but man-made.

      The Mormon belief of the Godhead – a unified counsel of separate beings – contradicts/upholds the words of the Bible every bit as much as the mainstream belief of the Trinity. Jesus praying to / talking to God can be explained with both concepts. The Mormon Godhead easily explains it as two separate beings in communication with each other. The mainstream Trinity explains it as a Christian mystery, one that cannot be understood by someone who is less than Divine, but a Divine God can be three distinct and coexistent persons and still one God.

      Mormons may be wrong, Son, but you are certainly wrong. And Mormons are simply non-traditional Christians.

      ABBYGIRL1994 – Did you just seriously quote a scripture (Luke 3:22) to prove the trinity, that is funny because that verse is used to disprove the trinity. Lets break it down, 1.No where does it say the word trinity in it, nor is that word found anywhere in the KJV of the bible. 2. This verse is in relation to Jesus being baptized so it is showing the Holy Spirit came as a dove (there is one place) Jesus is in the water (there is two places) and God’s voice comes from heaven saying “Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased”(there is three different places, not to mention the fact that if the trinity was true that would mean that Jesus would be saying he was proud of himself. Which is pride, which would mean He wasn’t perfect). They are three separate and distinct beings, God has the form of a man, it would be hard to be created in the image of a shape shifting blob. I know you are going to say well He is God, he can do what ever he wants to do, and that my friend is not a strong argument, that is a cop out.

      Sonofthunder, Moses told the tribes of Israel they would go to a land of milk and honey. Instead they wandered in the wilderness for 40 years and only a couple of that generation made it to the promised land. Does that make Moses a false prophet? Does that invalidate the word of God to those people? I’ll grant that you could argue over what makes a prophesy verses a promise but either one can be based on the actions, faith and obedience of the people. The prophet Jonah that was swallowed by a big fish later told the people of Nineveh that they would be destroyed because of their iniquity. He then waited and waited and was disappointed that it did not happen. He then got another lesson from the Lord when he showed more compassion for a tree than people.

      Joseph Smith later received a revelation as to why those people were denied building the New Jerusalem (sec 124). It will still happen and probably after great distress in this nation. I always say keep one eye on Jerusalem and the other on Jackson County Missouri. It may or may not be in my lifetime but things are starting to accelerate. Joseph Smith accurately predicted the civil war. Read Section D&C sec 87 http://lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/87?lang=eng. That section also talks about a full end of all nations when Christ comes.
      If you read the New Testament it sounds like all the Apostles thought the second coming would be in their lifetimes. Even some purported words of Jesus sounds that way.

      But I have another question for you. Is God the creator of all things? If so he must have created Satan. Why do you believe that a perfect and just God would create something so evil or evil even in the least degree (like all of us)?

      By the 1840s, however, Smith and several of the most prominent Mormons had become Freemasons, and founded a lodge in Nauvoo, Illinois in March 1842. Soon after joining Freemasonry, Smith introduced a new temple “Endowment” ceremony including a number of symbolic elements that were essentially identical with their analogues within Freemasonry. Smith remained a Freemason until his death; however, later Mormon leaders distanced themselves from Freemasonry. In modern times, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), the predominant Mormon organization, holds no position for or against the compatibility of Masonry with LDS Church doctrine.

      A significant numbers of leaders in the early Latter Day Saint movement were Masons prior to their involvement in the movement. Notable examples include Brigham Young, Heber C. Kimball, John C. Bennett, Hyrum Smith and Joseph Smith, Sr.

      In the early 1840s a Masonic Lodge was formed by LDS Church members who were Freemasons. Joseph Smith, Jr. and his brother Hyrum became members of the newly formed Nauvoo lodge. It appears that John C. Bennett had a particularly strong influence in the spread of Freemasonry, and soon over 1,500 Mormon men in the city of Nauvoo were practicing Masons. LDS historian Reed Durham writes:

      “By 1840, John Cook Bennett, a former active leader in Masonry had arrived in Commerce and rapidly exerted his persuasive leadership in all facets of the Church, including Mormon Masonry. … Joseph and Sidney [Rigdon] were inducted into formal Masonry … on the same day…“ being made ”Masons on Sight” by the Illinois Grandmaster.(”Is There No Help for the Widow’s Son?” by Dr. Reed C. Durham, Jr., as printed in “Joseph Smith and Masonry: No Help for the Widow’s Son”, Martin Pub. Co., Nauvoo, Ill., 1980, p. 17.) (This freed Joseph from having to complete the ritual and memorization necessary to work one’s way through the first three degrees.) Making one “A Mason on Sight” is generally reserved as an honor and is a rarity in occurrence.

      After receiving instruction in the proper communication of the substitute for the Master’s Word, the candidate is then instructed in regards to the Grand Hailing Sign of Distress. It is given by raising both hands toward heaven, with each arm forming the angle of a square, or a 90 degree angle. The arms are then lowered in three distinct motions to the sides.

      “Furthermore, I do promise and swear that I will not give the Grand Hailing Sign of Distress of a Master Mason, except for the benefit of the Craft while at work or for the instruction of a Brother, unless I am in real distress; and should I see the sign given, or hear the word spoken, I will hasten to the relief of the person so giving it.”

      The candidate is additionally instructed, however, that if he is in a place where the sign could not be seen, he is to utter a substitute for the sign: “O Lord, my God, is there no help for the Widow’s Son?” He is additionally advised that the sign and these words are never to be given together.

      A significant number of this country’s founding fathers were Freemasons. What do you have against an organization that promotes high morals and values?

    I don’t care for either of the Mormon candidates because they are too liberal. Their religion is not an issue to me at all.

      Why does religion have to play a part in it? A black guy (christian) is ruining the country. No one seemed to care that he was in experienced, that he hated America, that he sat in the pews for 20 years while Rev. Wright spread his hatred and racism. They voted him in anyway.

      That article is nothing but a leftist smear and fear campaign to ruin Romney’s chances.

      Yeah, after what we have now I think only a literal pod person could be worse.

      The Mormons are never in debt, they run their finances quite well so I don’t see why not. It would be better then the joke for president we have now…

      TOWER7FEMACAMP – If you are going to discuss a religion why don’t you discuss one you know. I can tell by what you are posting you are clearly not LDS so why do you think you can possible discuss their beliefs? I am a member and most of what you are posting is inaccurate, misleading, or writings from angry excommunicated members that are obviously going to show the LDS church in a bad light. Discuss whatever religion you are, and let the LDS members discuss what their religion believes. Thank you

      DGEE please correct any errors I have made, that is how we grow and learn
      but so far I see no exact detail as to which part of Mormon religion I am wrong on.
      Just telling me I don’t know proves nothing.

      the mormon prophets are worse the Jeremiah Wright. Mormon church preached racism until 1978 when its tax-exempt status was in jeopardy. Here is the kicker. The mormon church has not even apologized or admitted it was wrong to exclude blacks from the priesthood. Seriously, you can’t even get a mormon to say it was wrong, let alone to apologize for it. At least Obama said Wright was wrong. Obama has shown himself to be much more of a Christian than the mormon church. Most members are okay, but they just don’t know the truth about the mormon church. Wish they would do their research like Glen says. Many do research it – then they leave. That’s why membership is really more like 4 million instead of the 14 million they claim. Another example of moral dishonesty – the mormon church can’t own up to the fact that people are leaving in droves. Blame the internet – information is power.

    The Mormon Church does not recognize plural marriage. You are WAY behind the times. Those who do practive plural marriage are outside of the mainstream Mormons.

    Mormons don’t practice polygamy. But, at least polygamy makes biological sense. Gay “marriage” is just sick and wrong.
