I was Mormon for 21 years, but as soon as I started studying the history of the church I discovered that what I was being taught in church had been heavily white-washed, and that Joseph Smith was just a con-man that used religion to get away with sleeping around and controlling people. The church has recently started to come clean about some of their shady past in a series of essays, but it's still pretty heavily white-washed. Things that I was told were anti-Mormon lies as a teen, they now admit are true. My family and many of my friends are LDS, so although I don't like the church as an institution, I think most Mormons are good people. Most of them have just been indoctrinated as children, and have fallen prey to the cognitive biases that they church takes advantage of. Side: No I do not
Not religious at all, but I always thought the Mormon religion was odd, but yet interesting at the same time. I would like if a Mormon could sit back and tell me their beliefs. Never heard it from their word of mouth just by what people have said and what I've seen. Side: No I do not
So first thing never belive what you hear by television or articels that are not from lds.org People tend to think that we are very cruel and brain wash people. So for example christians we as mormons belive the same thing but just taught differently. But to get more in knoledge find what church you are zoned for and go there and see what happens at church and TO GET ALL OF THE INFO go to LDS.ORG Side: Yes I do

No. Atheists use faith in its greatest form. They believe a literal nothing manifested eveything with its magical nothingness and? With no reward. That's the biggest mental collapse a person can have, and sadly.... it takes more faith than any belief system. That's why the highest IQs on planet Earth are theists. Google it. Side: Yes I do

Nope. It has the same problem as Islam. When you use a book that says you cannot add to it as your foundation, then you do add to it, you are full of crap by default. Side: No I do not
. I believe that people are attracted to Mormonism because they Love a religion that so blatantly contradicts itself. They wish to see the Bible and the God of the Bible as contradicting Itself - So they look through the eyes of the Mormon religion upon the bible and the God of the bible. Because they hate the Bible and its message, Joe Smith put the Book of Mormon together and His Book of His Prophetic Revelations [ THE BOOK OF MORMOM } is filled with Condemnation of Practicing polygamy/ Polygamy is Condemned throughout The Book of Mormon. Jacob 1:15 15 And now it came to pass that the people of Nephi, under the reign of the second king, began to grow hard in their hearts, and indulge themselves somewhat in wicked practices, such as like unto David of old desiring many wives and concubines, and also Solomon, his son. Jacob 2:24 24 Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord. Jacob 3:5 5 Behold, the Lamanites your brethren, whom ye hate because of their filthiness and the cursing which hath come upon their skins, are more righteous than you; for they have not forgotten the commandment of the Lord, which was given unto our fatherthat they should have save it were one wife, and concubines they should have none, and there should not be whoredoms committed among them. Mosiah 11:2 2 For behold, he did not keep the commandments of God, but he did walk after the desires of his own heart. And he had many wives and concubines. And he did cause his people to commit sin, and do that which was abominable in the sight of the Lord. Yea, and they did commit whoredoms and all manner of wickedness. But - THIS IS IN Total CONTRADICTION - TO THE MORMON Doctrine and Covenants. Doctrine and Covenants Section 132:1 1 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you my servant Joseph, that inasmuch as you have inquired of my hand to know and understand wherein I, the Lord, justified my servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as also Moses, David and Solomon, my servants, as touching the principle and doctrine of their having many wives and concubines Section 132:37-39 37 Abraham received concubines, and they bore him children; and it was accounted unto him for righteousness, because they were given unto him, and he abode in my law; as Isaac also and Jacob did none other things than that which they were commanded; and because they did none other things than that which they were commanded, they have entered into their exaltation, according to the promises, and sit upon thrones, and are not angels but are gods. 38 David also received many wives and concubines, and also Solomon and Moses my servants, as also many others of my servants, from the beginning of creation until this time; and in nothing did they sin save in those things which they received not of me. 39 David's wives and concubines were given unto him of me, by the hand of Nathan, my servant, and others of the prophets who had the keys of this power; and in none of these things did he sin against me save in the case of Uriah and his wife; and, therefore he hath fallen from his exaltation, and received his portion; and he shall not inherit them out of the world, for I gave them unto another, saith the Lord. Section 132:61 61 And again, as pertaining to the law of the priesthoodif any man espouse a virgin, and desire to espouse another, and the first give her consent, and if he espouse the second, and they are virgins, and have vowed to no other man, then is he justified; he cannot commit adultery for they are given unto him; for he cannot commit adultery with that that belongeth unto him and to no one else. .
