Ok. To start off. I am a mormon. I am sick and tired of all the shit that people make up about my religion. G, if you have never ever attended a meeting or had ANY kind of personal involvement with the church, how can you say all those things that you did? they have no truth behind them. Lets look at it for a minute.
MYTHS:
1)God lives on a planet named Kolob in the center of the universe with his multiple wives.
2)God used to be Adam until he ascended to the heavens.
3)Blacks, hispanics, and asians are mud people who were created from primordial ooze and are actually sub-human. This is unlike the Native Americans, who are actually the lost tribe of Israel and who have been saved because Jesus came to North American after the Resurrection and preached the one true religion to them.
4)Jesus is not God, he is just a really swell guy, who is actually also the brother of the Devil.
5)If you are a good Mormon, and pay your 40% tithe to the Mormon church, you will get to become a god yourself, ruling over your own planet with multiple celestial wives.
CORRECTIONS:
1) GOd is our creator and our heavenly father. He loves us and you will never find any information in our religion about his wife (notice that I didnt say wifes). We consider our heavenly mother (again notice that I didnt say MOTHERS)sacred and so she wasnt degraded by some of the same things that people have done God. (think how many times people use the lords name in vain. It isnt very respectful)
2)I have no idea where you got the info that god used to be adam. That is bullshit. Adam is just like us. A son of god.
3) Why would anyone in their right mind believe that Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians were 'created from primordial ooze and are actually sub-human'? thats stupid. There are more members of our church that are from asia, africa, and South America than there are in America. We believe that we are all sons and daughters of our heavenly father and that it doesnt matter what we look like, Black, white, green, red, blue... It doesnt matter. I dont know where you got that, but again. Its wrong.
4)Jesus is our Lord and Redeemer. He is the only begotten son of our god. He is not 'just some swell guy'. To say that it is very insulting.
5)Our tithing is 10% and that is not the thing that will 'you will get to become a god yourself, ruling over your own planet with multiple celestial wives.' Come on. Get your facts straight.
I hope that this helped to dispell some of the myths about our religion. It is not freaky. We are normal people who love Christ and our Heavenly Father. FOR THE LAST TIME, WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN POLYGAMY. YOU WILL GET EXCOMMUNICATED IF YOU PRACTICE THAT BELIEF. Its disgusting and wrong. I dont want to hear 'oh yeah, I know this mormon guy and he has like 15 wives' because that isnt possible. Any other questions you have about our church I would more than be happy to tell you what we believe and so you dont get all these misrepresentations of who we are. All you other mormons that are on here, step up and tell people what you believe. Stop being pussies.

Worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but in the end, it doesnt get you anywhere. Write that down.
