Disclaimer - I was a faithful, believing Mormon for many years until I was challenged by a Christian and ended up researching my way out of it. I told many of these same lies when I was Mormon in order to get people to convert although I did not see it as lying at the time.

Glenn Beck Says People Who Vote Against Ted Cruz Will Face Wrath of God
Every mormon I have met have been the nicest people...
Sure, to your face. If you were auditioning for godhood you would be on good behavior and they are nice because their goal (always) is to get you to convert.
Behind closed doors is a very different story
Beck is delusional and not just politically.
I have had numerous Mormon employees over the years. Most had just completed their missions. Best people I have ever met.
For your info
Auditioning for Godhood? I’m 55 and have been LDS my whole life and I have no Idea what you are talking about.
My goal in life as a Mormon is to humble myself before my Heavenly Father and follow his commandments to the best of my ability while seeking forgiveness of my sins through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ.
If this is in someway unacceptable behavior to you, the I am sorry. I am firm in my conviction that it is acceptable to my Heavenly Father.
Very true - but nice does not qualify for Heaven. However, not believing Christ died for our sins is a big problem - BIG problem. And believing that works will suffice only compounds the BIG problem.
Lots of “nice” people in Hell.
See my earlier comment. They may seem that way but reality is different.
//Auditioning for Godhood? I’m 55 and have been LDS my whole life and I have no Idea what you are talking about.//
Hogwash Tepid... YOU know as well as I do that Mormonism teaches we can become gods of our own universes. Do I need to give you sources from LDS.org for that?
//My goal in life as a Mormon is to humble myself before my Heavenly Father and follow his commandments to the best of my ability while seeking forgiveness of my sins through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ.//
Finish the thought...in order to be exalted in the Celestial Kingdom (earn godhood). Again, do you want sources?
A lot of great people are victims.
I was domiciled among them for eight years when I was much younger, and I met an awful lot of scoundrels.
//If this is in someway unacceptable behavior to you, the I am sorry. I am firm in my conviction that it is acceptable to my Heavenly Father.//
Thinking you can work your way to salvation(again LDS.org shows this is LDS doctrine) is not acceptable to God and insults Christ.
This should be added to the article as a potential lie #11.
Every mormon male, if he completes the "works", may possibly ascend to godhood and have his own planet. It would be strange if you've never heard of this teppe.
I will take the words of a Mennonite, any day, any hour, any year, before I indulge myself, for one second of any vocal output from a Mormon.
Enough of the Morman bashing...the world has MUCH larger fish to fry.
