Jatopilot99,

Our critics like to throw a lot of garbage out there against us Mormons which are not true. They also like to publish misleading statements without all the reference points of information. There are so many items in your post I could talk about that meet those two criterias that it would take way too much effort to go through. However, let me be clear on two points:

First, I believe that Jesus Christ pays for all my sins and all mankind sins. To Mormons, he is the complete and only Savior of all mankind. The basics of the gospel is to have faith in Jesus Christ unto repentance of our sins, accept Jesus Christ through baptism, and receive the Holy Ghost. Through the gospel of Jesus Christ we become 100% clean. To me the highlight of my week is during my weekly worship with my fellow Mormons where I take the Sacrament of our Lord Jesus Christ and promise to remember Jesus Christ in all my words and deeds.

Another issue, is the junk about believing that Satan and Jesus are brothers. Mormons do not put these two at the same level, they are complete total opposites. Although Satan was a fallen angel which enjoyed the presence of God, he has became the father of all evil and has lost any relationship with God the Father. Jesus Christ, on the other hand, is the express full image of God the Father, in word and deed. Jesus Christ is our savior, the only way to heaven, and is full of truth and light. There is nothing we can do to please the Father, unless we do it in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ.

"Another issue, is the junk about believing that Satan and Jesus are brothers. Mormons do not put these two at the same level, they are complete total opposites."

Are you denying Mormons believe that Jesus and Satan are brothers? That's a fact. What is junk about me stating factually what is your doctrine? I've taken the time to study it and find that information.

Also, Joseph Smith taught that God did not create our spirits. He taught that God did not have the power to create our spirits. Yet, the LDS Church teaches that our spirits were born of God and a Heavenly Mother. So, Jesus was born thus and Satan was born thus and we were born thus. Was Joseph Smith wrong, or is the current teaching of the church wrong? For reference, check out the King Follett discourse in Joseph's own words.
