Nice post, thank you NYer. Mormons are indeed peddling themselves as "Christians" and there are many in America who don't doubt it because very few people know about them. FR needs more such informative posts.
When Utah was up for statehood, they were told that as long as they practiced plural marriage they would not be admitted to the Union. Presto, there came a revelation telling the Church that plural marriage was now off the table. Utah became a state.
In later years during the civil rights era, the Church stopped promising Blacks and other non-Caucasians that they would become White in Heaven, and they also began to admit 'coloured' people to the Priesthood which they had not done til the courts began to get involved.
I don't know about you but I found that rather convenient timing. ((I was a Mormon during the latter events).

There used to be lots of really informative posts here a few years back, giving out more info than one could take in.
Then someone got to squalling like a cat with it's tail caught in a ringer crying "abuse!" so the mods stepped in and had to crack a few heads to get everything cooled down.

Lol:)
