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.

A member of the church of Jesus of Latter(last) Day Saints.
Many do not understand this religion, and like the people who call mentally disabled people "retards", they get angry at what they do not understand.
As many have already defined this religion in a reasonable way, I will not go into details.

I don't know Mormons are, so instead of actually asking them and saving a lot of time, I think I'll go online and rant about how stupid they are!

Mormons are sweet people with big hearts. Their religion states that family is first. They have 3 heavens and no hell--only eternal darkness (almost impossible to got into). The 3rd heaven is the worst. The first heaven (from what I've been told) is the Celestial Heaven. In the Celestial Heaven, you become a god and you get to make your own planet. Seems pretty cool...if you have a lot of imagination. They are not a cult. They deserve to be treated as equals!
Boy: ask me anything about our religion
Girl: What's heaven like?
Boy: In the Celestial heaven, the best of our 3 heavens, you get to make your own planet.
Girl: Really?
Boÿ: Yea.
Girl: I wanna make a planet full of sweet animals.
Boy: Aww. That's cute.
Girl: I'm soo becoming a Mormon!
Boy: Welcome to the LDS faith
Girl: = Thanks! =

If people believe their church is so true then they shouldn't be so defensive with the mormons church

Well, mormons contrary to popular belief no longer pratice poligimy. I should know I am one we stoped praticing that back in the 1800's. And we don't all say "freeking heck" I know I don't. And we don't always listen to crappy music thats all goody and heartfilled cause I listen Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed, System of a Down exc. So all you people that are bashing a religion that you have no idea about need to shut the F*** up. And try learing about it before you bash it, we dont bash other religions I could really care less what religion you are and if I knew then I wouldnt really care you can stick to what you believe.
