Go watch that cartoon about the history of mormonism. It is 100% true and the so called good educated mormons will say it is 100% lie!

It is because they never took a nose dive into their historical teachings.
And that when you die you get to become a GOD and have your own planet to play like GOD over the life forms there.

They say the true god of all is really from the Universe/Solar System called KOLOB.

All crappy lies.

I didn't know they had comic books back then.

A welfare slut with 5 children by 5 different men with no support from all of her boyfriends is the American Tradition. The real problems can be found by following the money.

Shrug. I don't see why anybody cares how many wives some guy had back in the 1800's.

I know a few mormons. they are nice polite people. there ain't nothing wrong with them at all.

I know tons of Mormons and they are great people. While the religion that they practice is not as socially acceptable as other all religions are odd when you think about them.

Also what religion is not a cult?


A 'religion' is just a HUGE cult.

My wife was raised Mormon and her immediate family and mother's side is entirely Mormon.

The religion is HILARIOUSLY and provably false. It's very sad that anyone believes in it anymore.

for real... we had a lot of Mormon family friends when we lived in Oregon.

by far, the nicest and friendliest group of people I've ever met. I've always said that if I had to join any organized religion purely for the community, totally ignoring any theological beliefs, it'd be the Mormons.

Pretty much my experience with them as well, they make awesome neighbors. What's odd to me is how they do their door-to-door missionary stuff, but everyone I've met has always respected others religions or lack there of, and never pressured or tried to recruit.

I wonder if they have a policy of leaving the missionary recruiting stuff to the missionaries, and tell everyone else that simply being a good neighbor and respecting others religions is best.

I've read Battlestar Galactica is a retelling of the Mormon faith and challenges of the pioneers.

The 13th colony was Kobol BTW ;)

Related to lots of Mormons and they are really nice people, hard working and educated, but the religion is goofy. OTOH so are other Christian faiths, they just seem normal to the majority as they are so familiar.
