A
religion founded and re-estalished by the prophet Joseph Smith. He was given the gold plates which he translated through the power of God. This is now what they call the Book of Mormon. They do not worship him. They honor him. They worship God the Eternal
Father and his only begotten son, Jesus Christ. They follow the word of wisdom to keep themselves clean. The word of wisdom states that they should stay away from
hot drinks, and to sum it up not to take of anything that will be addicting to their bodies.
Mormons no longer practice polygamy. At one
time it was commanded to do so to be able to make a way for all elligable women to make it to the celestial kingdom through a temple
marriage. (there wasn't enough guys)
Not all mormons live in utah. Actually there's a great percentage of mormons living in brazil. Also i do believe that
California has a higher population of mormons than Utah. Utah is simply the refuge that Mormon's founded when they were pushed out of the U.S. due the mobs and persecution. They weren't seeking religious freedom. They were escaping religious persecution.
Mormons are cool. Although
people shouldn't judge the
religion based on the
people. True most mormons do follow the things they're supposed to, but some don't. They're human just like the rest of us and do make mistakes. The Mormon doctrine is true though. The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ and goes hand in hand with the Bible. Without both, they wouldn't be able to know the knowledge they need to about God and his teachings.
