Exactly dipshit, read my post carefully and you see that there are words, read even more carefully and see the make a sentence. I will translate it into retard for you: Mainstream Mormons get pissy around Fundemental Mormons, it would be stupid to call them "evil Mormons" because that would be talking about all mormons, instead call the the retard mormons. Pwn3D, 0wn3D.

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but in another thread you condemned the muslims for terror attacks, right?

I've never blamed all Muslims for terror attacks. Find where said that, I dare you (because you can't).

It's funny how you can never actually give a reasonable argument for anything you ever say. It's like you're intentionally trying to be wrong as much as possible.

If you want my opinion (as if you had a choice). The following religions should be banned for being far stupider than all the rest. Mormonism, scientology, Satanism, the Lutheran church, all known and unknown suicide, racist, or science denouncing cults/religions
Oh and Jehovah's whiteness shouldn't be aloud to persecute themselves. Which dose make one wonder how they get converts.

For the record I'm Roman Catholic in name but I blasphemously believe that the bible was entirely made up and its true purpose is to provide morals for the good of humanity.
Oh and evolution is true go to hell Kansas and any other state that says other wise.

this guy is Fundy mormonist scum with charges on him and was on FBI TOP TEN LIST FOR OVER 2 YEARS

How mormons banish young boys from Families and tearing them apart
and I have personally witness the Biased view of mormon courtsof holy matromoney (mariage)
If a mormon (Groom per say) and a non-mormon (Bride per say) wish become wed it must take place in the mormon church and the family of the mormon lover (groom) will have it in the church with mormon eyes only so the Brides family wont be able to because of sacred beliefs by the mormons which I find totally ubsurd but at the recption the Brides family will be "highly Respected" by the grooms family.

and also I think the divorce issu is fucked up for them thank you wiki:
LDS faithful believe civil marriages are dissolved at death if they are not later solemnized with a sealing, but that a couple who has been sealed in the temple will be married beyond physical death if they remain righteous. An illustrative difference in the marriage ceremony performed in LDS temples is the replacement of the words "until death do us part" with "for time and all eternity".

The LDS Church recognizes other monogamous, heterosexual marriages, both civil and religious, although they believe that such marriages will not continue after death because "Eternal Marriages" must be performed by a Priesthood authority. However, "Eternal Marriages" are also performed vicariously for the deceased so that once all the prior temple ordinances are completed for a deceased individual, couples who were not sealed during their life may accept the proxy sealing to each other and their children.

Couples who have children born to them before the couple is sealed, may have their children sealed to them after the couple is sealed. Couples who have children after being sealed do not have to have their children sealed to them in a separate ceremony. Children born to sealed parents are "born in the covenant" and are automatically sealed to their parents. Adopted children may be sealed to their adoptive parents once the adoption has been legally finalized.

Divorce rates for sealed couples are far lower than national rates.[1] Although a divorce legally dissolves a civilly-recognized marriage, the Church still recognizes a sealed couple as being sealed. A couple who has been sealed may request to have their sealing "cancelled", but this is uncommon, occurs only under special circumstances and is only granted by the President of the Church. Some refer informally to a "cancellation" as a "temple divorce", but the terminology designated by Church leaders is "cancellation of a sealing".

A cancellation typically follows after a civil divorce when a woman seeks to be sealed to another man. The Church's requirements for divorced men are equally strict, and even sometimes more so. A man must apply for a sealing clearance if he seeks to marry another woman after he has been civilly divorced. He is still required to receive a sealing clearance, even if he has already received a cancellation of sealing.[2]

The view that the LDS Church's policy on sealings and cancellations reflect its doctrine of plural marriage is incorrect. Some believe that although the doctrine of plural marriage is currently prohibited from being practiced in the Church a man can be sealed to multiple women, but women can only be sealed to one man. A common misconception is that a man sealed to one or more women, but civilly divorced or a widower, may be sealed to another woman assuming the couple is worthy and the union is permitted by Church authorities and that although a woman can only be sealed to one man, she can be married civilly to another man and have that marriage recognized by the Church. However, in many circumstances, woman may also be sealed to more than one man. According to Church policy, after a man has died, he may be sealed by proxy to all of the women to whom he was legally married while he was alive. The same is true for women, however, if a woman was sealed to a man while she was alive, all of her husbands must be deceased before she can be sealed by proxy to another man.[3]

Church doctrine is not entirely specific on the status of men or women who are sealed by proxy to multiple spouses. There are at least two possibilities:

1. Regardless of how many people a man or woman is sealed to by proxy, they will only remain with one of them in the afterlife, and that the remaining spouses, who might still merit the full benefits of exaltation that come from being sealed, would then be given to another person in order to ensure each has an eternal marriage.
2. These sealings create effective plural marriages that will continue after death. However, the Church does not teach that polyandrous relationships can exist in the afterlife, so this possibility would probably not apply to women who are sealed by proxy to multiple spouses.

The union of a sealed couple is regarded as valid only if both individuals have kept their religious commitments and followed LDS teachings. A sealed couple who have successfully kept their religious covenants, and whose sealing remains in force after death is said to have their sealing "sealed by the Holy Spirit of Promise". The sealing of a sealed couple whose union has been disrupted by a civil divorce (amicable or acrimonious) is not likely to remain in force. Just as deceased individuals may refuse any temple ordinance (such as a sealing) done by proxy on their behalf, couples, parents and children who were sealed to each other during their own life may exercise their agency to refuse to accept a sealing of which they were a part. No one will be sealed to any one with whom they do not want to be sealed.

Since the LDS Church rejects same-sex marriages, these unions are not performed in temples nor recognized by the LDS Church.

Excommunication voids all ordinances performed for a person, including sealings. If an excommunicated member rejoins the Church, he may have these blessings restored.

Only worthy members of the LDS Church, who hold current valid temple recommends, can attend and witness sealings. Non-member family and friends generally wait in the temple waiting room during the sealing ceremony.

Maybe its satire, but I for one think in extreme circumstances we should be able to outlaw crazy religions like:
Mormonism:
Because they believe that Native Americans were some how Jewish, Jesus cursed them with brown skin (cough-racist-cough) when he some how lived here and that some how our species actually was born in America. Is that or is that not crazy bull shit!
Scientology:
Because they believe that alien ghosts made by some evil alien lord in some BS galactic federation are infesting earth and cause people to be depressed, religious, and angry. They also believe that this was foretold by there profit who was there profit, wait for it... an incredibly mediocre science Fiction writer named Elrond Hubbard. Crazy!
Satanism:
One; being a flaming Goth stereotype doesn't count as a religion!
Two; there base there religion on the concept of atheism yet all there rituals and customs are based on a twisted view of Christianity when they could just be atheists.
Finally 3; there decedent sexually charged rituals make the roman cult of Baccus look like a cartoon on PBS.

mormon beliefs escalates into satanic rituals
Mormons believe Jesus came to North america after died on the cross
Mormons believe American Indians were Lost Tribes of Israel (they did a DNA test to suppport the theory but the connection to israeli jews and American Indians tested negative and Mormon Church rejects this every times its mentiones)
Mormonism was created by 16 year old (he claimed angels talk to him and told him he is a prophet)

We should out law it because there beliefs are retarded!

That would be unconstitutional, my friend. And you probably wouldn't feel this way if it was your religion being banned.

Because they believe that Native Americans were some how Jewish

Mormons aren't the only ones who believed that the Native Americans were the Lost Tribe of Israel. Lots of "learned" men from Europe believed this early in the exploration of the New World.

They also believe that this was foretold by there profit who was there profit, wait for it... an incredibly mediocre science Fiction writer named Elrond Hubbard. Crazy!

L. Ron Hubbard. Not Elrond, like Elrond Halfelven. And in the religious sense it's "prophet."

Satanism

So you want to ban them for being unoriginal and having orgies? Brilliant. I think anyone who is unoriginal should be executed.

I cannot believe how naieve you people are. You claim to know all about my religion, yet you really know very little. For starters, did you know we object to the term "Mormon"? It implies that we follow Mormon as opposed to Christ. That is simply not true. We follow the teachings of Christ. We prefer to be called "LDS" or "Latter-Day Saints".

As for polygamy, we do not support, recognize, encourage, or teach about that practice. We discourage it whenever the topic comes up. That some radicals who broke from our church say we practice it doesn't mean that we actually do.

As for forced marriages, that is also not true. As with polygamy, we do not support, recognize, encourage, or teach about it. We fully support a person's right to choose, regardless of what gender they are. In addition, we uphold the law that a person cannot be married until they are an adult.

I liked the point someone made about Joseph Smith "creating" our religion. Have you ever read the Book of Mormon? It has been analyzed by scholars and Biblical experts of all the major religions, and they can all agree on the same thing - that the language, structure, and phrasing are the same. Some have even stated that the teachings are no different from those in the Bible, while others refuse to support that claim because they feel it threatens their religion. I ask you, how could an uneducated boy of 14 come up with something like that?

If anyone else would care to start a genuine debate on this thread, I would be happy to indulge them. I will not, however, be part of anyone joke at my belief's expense. If you want to hate my religion, fine. I do demand, as is my right, that you make sure you know the facts before you start spewing Anti-LDS hate everywhere. An ignorant hater is a fool, while an educated hater is one who has formed an educated opinion. I doubt anyone here wants to be a fool, so start learning the TRUTH about my religion before you bash it.
