Also known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Mormons dont like to be called "Mormons." They prefer the "Latter Day Saints" label. Some Christian denominations consider it a cult but Mormons strongly disagree. Mormonism was founded by Joseph Smith in upstate New York in the 1800s. Latter Day Saints members follow the Book of Mormon and call it "Another Testamant of Jesus Christ," which I find hogwash, because the Bible specifically teaches that it is the ONLY Word of God. The early Mormons migrated to Illinois then to Salt Lake City, Utah where its headquarters is today. Mormonism is among the world's fastest-growing religions.
Key beliefs:
1. Joseph Smith, its founder, was a "prophet" and was led by the angel Moroni to a hill in upstate New York to discover a set of golden plates that contained prophecies that are not found in the Bible. At this site he allegedy saw God and Jesus. What crap. The Bible teaches that no human being can lay their eyes upon God and survive.
2. They believe that the Garden of Eden was located at the present day site of Kansas City, Missouri and that Zion will be located there in the future. What crap. The Bible specifically says the Garden was in the Fertile Crescent between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.
3. Jesus and Lucifer (Satan) are brothers and Godchildren to God the Father and his "wife." This implies a sexual union between God the Father and some Godess. What hogwash.
4. God is made of flesh and bone becuase the Bible says mankind is made in the image of God.
5. Prophets from around the time of the Tower of Babel built a boat and sailed to what is now the North American continent.These people are the ancestors to ancient North American tribes.
6. celestial marriage in that marriage continues in the afterlife.
7. baptism of the dead in that one can be baptised on behalf of a deceased loved one
8. family-oriented and lots of kids
9. DOES NOT BELIEVE IN MONOGOMY. The practice was denounced by the Church in the 1800s.
10.Jesus appeared to Indians in ancient America sometime after his resurrection in the first century.
11.The leaders of each church is considered a "prophet" and is specifically ordained by God himself to lead a congregation.

In 1832, Joseph Smith found golden plates on Hill Cumorah; a small, steep hill located in Palmyra, NY. So, Mormanism began. Every summer, Palmyra is infested with religion-spreading Mormons, merely hoping to pass their goodness unto the world through missionary work and abstinence. Here, they enjoy the festivities of the Hill Cumorah Pagent, the very site at which the religion was founded.
(To non-mormon)"Hi. I'm from Palmyra." *Blank Stare*---"Oh...cool..?" "It's like a Jerusalem to the Mormons." "Oh, I have a Mormon friend. She can't..." "I know."
(To Mormon) "Hi. I'm from Palymra." "OH MY GOD, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" "No. You're Mormon aren't you?"

They follow a strict diet which calls for not achaol or tabocco. they are asked NOT forced to pay 10% of all of their income to the church. they are also asked NOT told to go on a two year "mission" for the church. The church was restored not founded by Joseph Smith.

1) A religious cult that is only a few centuries old- survives purely through having tons of children and indoctrinating them (see brainwash)
2) A person who believes in magical underwear and that if you are a white male you will become a god of your own planet
3) A group of people who hijacked Christianity in order to give some kind of legitimacy to their batshit insane religion. A con man named Joseph Smith found plates that for some reason weren't important enough to keep but everyone should just take his word on it. He also got a lot of his revelations through looking into a hat
4) A religious cult who keeps changing its doctrine to hide its racism and ridiculous beliefs
5) Generally nice people who have been systematically misinformed since birth, and as such will fight till the bitter end against any form of reason and will leave tons of boring definitions on urbandicionary, basically devaluing one of the best resources on the web.

Wow you just pulled that entire paper out of your ass! Joseph Smith himself couldn't have done it better! You Mormon spawn?
