LOL, I love Mitt's "faith"

I was born and raised Mormon but left when I was about 17 (atheist now). The cartoon is a bit sensationalist in the way the material is presented.

These "teachings" are, for the most part, either skipped over or only discussed briefly in church....honestly I barely remember it. The Book of Mormon does cover the contents of the cartoon, but like I said, it isn't really taught much within church (other than eventually becoming a god of your own world, if you're worthy in the "afterlife")

Also I do remember the parts about the "great war in heaven" where the spirits that chose Jesus were given physical bodies and were able to live on earth, while the spirits that followed lucifer were basically his "angels/demons" and were not allowed human bodies, although there are stories of pigs and cows that were supposedly possessed by these evil angels.

Also, I think it's funny that they keep calling him "The Mormon Jesus" because Mormon's believe in the same Jesus as the other christian faiths. Mormons 100% believe in the King James version of the bible...the same version that most mainstream christians use. This is #8 of the 13 "articles of faith" or in other words, their belief credo boiled down to 13 points. Mormons do consider themselves "Christian" even if the other christian faiths do not recognize them to be.

It's no more strange or outlandish really than a talking snake, burning bush, parting seas, pillars of salt or walking on water IMO. Same goes with the Scientology stories about Xenu.

This part of the threat might end up getting locked, or deleted but feel free to ask me other questions about Mormon beliefs.

A few weeks ago we had dinner guests at my house and some of them asked about the Mormon church, knowing I used to belong. I explained to them the story of Joseph Smith, and Brigham Young and how the religion came to be and the basics of their beliefs. They said there was "no way Mitt Romney believes these things", and my answer was that if he claims that he is Mormon, he HAS to believe them...or at least he's supposed to.
