The Mormons I have known have been some of the best, most honest, stand up straight people I have ever known. I learned that if they are good enough, they have been taught they will not just go to Heaven when they die, they will become Gods themselves.

My Bible doesn’t say that.

1. The Mormons I have known have been some of the best, most honest, stand up straight people I have ever known.
2. I learned that if they are good enough, they have been taught they will not just go to Heaven when they die, they will become Gods themselves.
3. My Bible doesn’t say that.

1. The big casinos in Las Vegas still use, as dealers, almost exclusively Mormons. I was there this past August. They use them because Mormons don't drink or use drugs, so they can count on them to be sober and ready.

2. Yes, isn't that something?
From the Internet:
Mormons trace their origins to the visions that Joseph Smith reported having in the early 1820's while living in upstate New York. In 1823 Smith said an angel directed him to a buried book written on golden plates containing the religious history of an ancient people.
Smith published what he said was a translation of these plates in March 1830 as the Book of Mormon, named after Mormon, the ancient prophet-historian who compiled the book, and on April 6, 1830, Smith founded the Church of Christ.
The early church grew westward as Smith sent missionaries to preach the restored gospel.
In 1831, the church moved to Kirtland, Ohio where missionaries had made a large number of converts and Smith began establishing an outpost in Jackson County, Missouri, where he planned to eventually build the city of Zion (or the New Jerusalem).
In 1833, Missouri settlers, alarmed by the rapid influx of Mormons, expelled them from Jackson County into the nearby Clay County, where local residents took them in.
After Smith led a mission, known as Zion's Camp, to recover the land, he began building Kirtland Temple in Lake County, Ohio, where the church flourished. When the Missouri Mormons were later asked to leave Clay County in 1836, they secured land in what would become Caldwell County.

The continual moving westward was because the Mormons were so WACKY that they were continually DRIVEN out. Joseph Smith and followers did that to themselves, with their own skewed vision of faith. They went FAR enough west to be isolated so Smith could do his own thing with no one contradicting him, throwing him out or taking exceptions to his multiple wives.
I always figured that the women in that group were WACKIER because there was LITTLE in it for them. They had to, ahem, minister to the mass fornicator, without complaint, and to anyone they were told to "minster to."
The Catholic Church does NOT call them Christians because their Christ and the Christ that the world knows are NOT THE SAME, at all.

3. My Bible doesn’t say that.
ONLY theirs says that.
