it's just as relevant today as asking how Obama sat in Jeremiah Wright's church for 20 years

Wright preached Marxism, hatred of whites, hatred of Jews, hatred of America and liberation theology. It is a dangerous religion just as islam is and both are antithetical to Western values in general and American values in particular. The Mormon religion preaches none of those things and is none of those things.

I find the theology and practices of many religions to be goofy and ridiculous, but as long as they're not dangerous, I don't care.

You sure about that? I can give you quotes from LDS that would counter your assumption on at least a few of those things.

Tell me, Jeff, let's say you & I were to (somehow) sit down and agree on a definition of "the Gospel of the Bible." Would you & I agree that deliberately withholding such a Gospel is a spiritually dangerous thing to do? (I emphasize deliberate withholding -- vs. vs. it being simply a lack-of-manpower issue to immediately reach all corners of the earth)

And when we consider this especially in light of verse where Jesus said: But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. (Luke 12:5)...

Is hell not a "dangerous" place to be -- even if you & I might disagree about its duration?

And yet, per my post on #117 highlight the Mormon Doctrine & Covenants 134:12...which true-believing Mormons not only uphold -- but pay from their wallets to have translated & distributed around the world -- advocates exactly this spiritually unhealthy, dangerous practice: That if ANYBODY around the world claims somebody as their property...why that person isn't to be "privvy" to the Gospel.

That my friend, is an open hatred toward women who are trafficked...toward slaves in countries like Sudan and Mauritania. In fact, in Mauritania, slavery is STILL an open "secret." Up to 5-10% of this Muslim nation are slaves!

But per your Joseph Smith...they aren't "eligible" for the "Gospel."
