“It is necessary we should understand the character and being of God and how he came to be so; for I am going to tell you how God came to be God. We have imagined and suppose that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea, and take away the veil, so that you may see. and that he was once a man like us; yea, that God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ himself did... Here then, is eternal life – to know the only wise and true God; and you have got to learn how to be Gods yourselves, and to be kings and priest to God, the same as all Gods have done before you, namely by going from one small degree to another, and from a small capacity to a great one. . . . (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, 345-47

and we are expected to agree that the early Mormons drank the Koolade Joey Smith was pouring out...
the guys werent there because of the paganism of Smith...
They were there for the girls and the chance at institutional piracy.....
Smith was Bluebeard not Buddah...
The girls ???
Well many were there because they fell for a pretty line...
If they had been asked whether they wanted to leave England and go to Nauvoo or the Utah territory to be an extra “wife” to the Mormon “missionary” who was pressing them, and not his beloved legal wife, their fathers would have shot the trash mouth and not sent their innocent daughters off with lustful wolves...
Polygamy was not only illegal in both the US and England, it was also anathema to Christianity...
God said “Thou shalt not commit adultery” but to the Mormon males that was just one more commandment in the Christian Bible to disobay and mock...
few Mormon women accepted the evils of polygamy, it was so unnatural and painful emotionally and psychologically...it was distructive but the Mormon women were bullied and forced into a life of horror and “sacred loneliness”
God never intended for his daughters to be abused by such an unGodly system but the women in Mormonism were so outnumbered by the Mormon males that they were prisoners by group think under the control of of Joey Smith and before the theocratic dictatorship of Briggie Young, and prisoners indeed once BY got them into the Salt Lake Valley..
Will the Mormons embrace homosexuality ???
Of course...
Its the most direct path back to their roots...polygamy..AKA bigamy..
Its been nearly 70 years since the Mormons had an openly polygamous “prophet and president” ...
Heber Grant the last one living in polygamy died in 1945 still “married” at that time to one of his several extra women ..
Polygamy is called “living the principle” by Mormons...
Joey Smith claimed that only Mormon males who had extra women went to the Mormon afterlife as “gods”
Mormonism at its beginnings was based around illict sex and the filth of polygamy and not the Righteousness of God and His Commandments...
That LDs and/or Mormonism is in fact a very cleverly disguised nature religion outwardly dressed in Biblical language is definitively revealed in its’ embrace of pre-existent matter together with its’ rejection of creation ex nihilo.
In Romans Paul distinguishes nature systems from supernatural Christian theism when he points out that there are only two ultimate sources for all religious and philosophical beliefs around the world and over time. Paul differentiates these two when he says that men will either worship and serve creation (which includes the cosmos and the planet on which the LDs deity supposedly exists) or they will worship and serve the supernatural God of creation.
LDs then is a nature religion while Marx’s dialectical materialism is a nature system. Communism is heaven brought to earth, making it a nature ideology. Darwinism is grounded on philosophical materialism, hence it too is a nature system.
