    I grew up religious, then I became capable of logical thought and common sense. I was a teenager.

    For adults to practice secret handshakes and passwords believing it will get them to heaven is fucking stupid. It just is. Some things are stupid, religion is one of them. But that doesn't mean the majority of people on earth are stupid, just that they do stupid things and believe in stupid things.

    I am a might concerned though about Mitt's secret oath of vengeance against the United States. :tsktsk:

    The parts within quotations is correct. This is how the city of Enoch was run before it was carried away. The ancillary remarks are not true. The government they're twisting is the government that Christ will establish when He returns.

    This is just an extension of the propaganda from the previous quote. There have been and currently are plenty of Mormons in government. None of them were so overwhelmed by their involvement in the church that they couldn't perform their political responsibilities. This is complete fear mongering.

    Taking into account that the above statements are likely misquoted, I found this information on the the so-called "Oath of Vengeance"

    Here are some important quotes:

    "Leonard J. Arrington, founder of the Mormon History Association, reports that Brigham Young received the rider, James Haslam, at his office on the same day. When he learned what was contemplated by the militia leaders in Parowan and Cedar City, he sent back a letter stating the Baker-Fancher party were not to be meddled with, and should be allowed to go in peace (although he acknowledged the Native Americans would likely "do as they pleased").[11][16] Young's letter arrived two days too late, on September 13, 1857.

    Part of the article also stats that the main instigators not only were kicked out of the church, but were also put on trial.

    Context is important in all things. For example:
    "In addition, during the prior decades, the religion had undergone a period of intense persecution in the American Midwest, and faithful Mormons moved west to escape persecution in midwestern towns. In particular, they were officially expelled from the state of Missouri during the 1838 Mormon War, during which prominent Mormon apostle David W. Patten was killed in battle. After Mormons moved to Nauvoo, Illinois, the religion's founder Joseph Smith, Jr. and his brother Hyrum Smith were assassinated in 1844. Just months before the Mountain Meadows massacre, Mormons received word that yet another apostle had been killed: in April 1857, apostle Parley P. Pratt was shot in Arkansas by Hector McLean, the estranged husband of one of Pratt's plural wives, Eleanor McLean Pratt.[45] Mormon leaders immediately proclaimed Pratt as another martyr,[46] and many Mormons held the people of Arkansas responsible.[47]"

    So after being kicked all over the country and having many loved ones killed, and misconstruing the emigrants as part of the mob that killed yet another leader of the church, the people apart of the Mountain Meadows Massacre decided not to take it anymore. Obviously it was a massive mistake, but context makes it understandable. This was, after all, the wild west we're talking about here.

    Polygamy doesn't bother me one way or the other as long as all parties are consenting adults. Personally, I wouldn't practice it unless I was required to. One wife if plenty for me.

    Technically, Mormons only practiced polygaNy (exclusively one man and multiple wives). Polygamy is multiple spouses of either gender. So, no Mormon women wouldn't be able to have more than one husband. I've mentioned some of the reasons Mormons practiced polygany in the past.
