You don't hand out easy assignments, do you? ;)
I thought it would probably involve flipping a coin. (Since showing
your opinion of the candidates and their platforms by flipping
anything else will probably get you in trouble with the Secret Service . . . )

I was thinking that none of the gods born to goddesses here actually
involved pregnancy and childbirth...I've been known to crib about that
during my pregnancies...
While it is not taught officially in the Sunday school manuals or the
like, it is a rather common Mormon folk belief based on some comments
made by early Church leaders that God (who it is officially taught
has a body of flesh and bones rather than being some kind of
amorphous spirit which fills the universe as seems to be a common
belief among some other Christian denominations) impregnated Mary in
pretty much the normal way. You are most likely to hear the claim
from "anti-Mormons" (some of whom are "born-again" or evangelical
Christians, and many of whom are former LDS who are now BACs or
evangelicals) who gather on the sidewalks during General Conference
(held each April and October in SLC, most recently this past
weekend') or outside dedications of new temples and ask passersby
"Did you know that the Mormon church teaches that God had sex with
Mary?" among other things designed to incite argument and to attempt
to dissuade anyone who might be investigating the LDS Church from
joining . . .
