Didn't Joseph Smith also say the natives here were white, and were turned dark-skinned by God when they refused to accept Him? (or something like that)

Because that don't exactly follow modern science...

Yes, their skin was white and delightsome, just like David Duke prefers it.

He also taught that some people's sins are soooooo bad that even Christ's blood isn't good enough to cover them [WHAT BLASPHEMY!].

And that therefore, the super guilty people have to shed their own blood for their own sins. And that a devout Mormon is doing the person a favor by killing them. I guess that was the doctrine operating at the White What/White River--forget the exact title--the massacre on the Colorado River border area between AZ and UT in the late 1800's. Jim Jones would have loved Joseph.

"Didn't Joseph Smith also say the natives here were white, and were turned dark-skinned by God when they refused to accept Him?"

When they arrived in the americas, one group rebelled against God and made it a point to teach their kids to hate and kill the other group. God made their skin darken so that the other group could tell them apart and keep separate from them for their own safety.

"Because that don't exactly follow modern science... "

Neither does walking on water or thousands of other things in the scriptures. That's why we call them miracles.
