OB Huntington again huh? He's already been discredited with his whole life long moon men fetish.

Do you think these quack quotes are a representation of LDS doctrine? Why do you post them as such?

Do I think that the crackpots that started the KKK and murdered blacks and Jews represented the beliefs of the Evangelical movement in early part of the last century? They were mostly Southern Baptists, but I don't go parading their actions and views as representing the beliefs of good Baptists in this country. If you want to know what we believe, then search our doctrines, not isolated words by a few.

OB Huntington was a faithful member of the LDS Church and a friend and confidant to Joseph Smith. If that makes him a crackpot.... well maybe it does.

Do you think these quack quotes are a representation of LDS doctrine?

Mormon Prophet Brigham Young (whom I am sure knew more about Mormon Doctrine than you) said:

"Who can tell us of the inhabitants of this little planet that shines of an evening called the moon? ...when you inquire about the inhabitants of that sphere you find that the most learned are as ignorant in regard to them as the ignorant of their fellows. So it is in regard to the inhabitants of the sun. Do you think it is inhabited? I rather think it is. Do you think there is any life there? No question of it; it was not made in vain," (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 13, p. 217).

Do I think that the crackpots that started the KKK and murdered blacks and Jews represented the beliefs of the Evangelical movement in early part of the last century?

So you are comparing Oliver Huntington and Brigham Young to the KKK?
