Aside from the few screwballs that continue plural marriage, Mormon theology is unexceptional, based on no less an authority than Mark Twain (Roughing it).

Really there is not much different between scriptures written by Joseph Smith Jr to mislead Americans and scriptures written by the Assyrians to mislead Jews, scriptures written by drug addled Jews to mislead the Romans, and scriptures written by Arabs to mislead Turks.

So, did I leave anyone out?

I think Mark Twain was talking about Mormon morality (at a time when mainstream American Protestants tended to be pretty hostile)...he said their morality was “smouched” from the New Testament.

You left yourself out!
 
There is not much difference between you and the zany professor who spewed all that stuff out for you in some silly religion elective class, and the same folks whom you criticize here.

I'll concede that Joseph Smith was a nut job who likely had a strong personality in that he influenced so many.

I'll concede that Mormonism is a ridiculous religion that no serious thinking person should ever espouse.

I'll concede that catholicism is a ridiculous religion that no serious thinking person should ever espouse.

I'll concede that baseball is a ridiculous sport, and that anyone who would actually pay money to watch it played is an imbecile.

I'll concede that golf is a ridiculous sport,a complete waste of time, and very expensive.

I'll concede a whole lot of things if you'll concede that you really do not know very much about what you are posting about.

Scripture written by Robert Heinlein to mislead gullible young atheists.
