What kind of lies are the leaders of the Mormon church having to tell their members as to why God saw fit to not make a Mormon the President?
The leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) have strict policy of making no comments about political candidates. Several Mormons have had failed presidential campaigns in the past, and Mormons have never seen this as God disapproving of the candidate or his faith - only the voters disapproving of his political policies.

Where did the term jack Mormon come from?
'Jack Mormon' is a slang term used in Mormon culture originally to describe a friend of the LDS Church* who was not a member.

For example, a Mormon who drinks alcohol and coffee but still attends church might be a Jack Mormon. So might an individual who believes in the faith, but has stopped attending meetings. The term has fallen into disuse in recent years, and such individuals are now commonly described as "less active" or "inactive" Saints. * The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, often nicknamed the Mormon church.
Can a greek marry a Mormon in the church?
Of course! The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) allows anyone (member or non-member) to be married in their church, and provides both the building and the bishop to perform the ceremony free of charge, provided that their building use guidelines are followed. While Mormons are encouraged to marry within the religion, it is not a requirement and many choose to marry someone from outside the faith. Mormons are accepting of all races and nationalities, Greeks are welcome to visit Mormon services or be baptized into the church if they wish. Please note that a Mormon church is different than a Mormon temple. While anyone is welcome to enter and use a Mormon church building, Mormon temples are open only to practicing Mormons with special permission from their local leaders.
