    Anyone who believes in Christ is a Christian.

    •God was once a man like us.
    •God has a tangible body of flesh and bone.
    •God lives on a planet near the star Kolob.
    •God ("Heavenly Father") has at least one wife, our "Mother in Heaven," but she is so holy that we are not to discuss her nor pray to her.
    •Jesus was married.
    •We can become like God and rule over our own universe.
    •There are many gods, ruling over their own worlds.
    •Jesus and Satan ("Lucifer") are brothers, and they are our brothers - we are all spirit children of Heavenly Father
    •Jesus Christ was conceived by God the Father by having sex with Mary, who was temporarily his wife.
    •We should not pray to Jesus, nor try to feel a personal relationship with him.
    •The "Lord" ("Jehovah") in the Old Testament is the being named Jesus in the New Testament, but different from "God the Father" ("Elohim").
    •In the highest degree of the celestial kingdom some men will have more than one wife.
    •Before coming to this earth we lived as spirits in a "pre-existence", during which we were tested; our position in this life (whether born to Mormons or savages, or in America or Africa) is our reward or punishment for our obedience in that life.
    •Dark skin is a curse from God, the result of our sin, or the sin of our ancestors. If sufficiently righteous, a dark-skinned person will become light-skinned.
    •The Garden of Eden was in Missouri. All humanity before the Great Flood lived in the western hemisphere. The Ark transported Noah and the other survivors to the eastern hemisphere.
    •Not only will human beings be resurrected to eternal life, but also all animals - everything that has ever lived on earth - will be resurrected and dwell in heaven.
    •Christ will not return to earth in any year that has seen a rainbow.
    •Mormons should avoid traveling on water, since Satan rules the waters.
    •The sun receives its light from the star Kolob.
    •If a Gentile becomes Mormon, the Holy Ghost actually purges his Gentile blood and replaces it with Israelite blood.
    •A righteous Mormon will actually see the face of God in the Mormon temple.
    •You can identify a false angel by the color of his hair, or by offering to shake his hand.

    Very stupid beliefs. Jesus in America? And making people dark skinned as a punishment? Come on. Garden of Eden in Missouri? They are NOT Christians, they are sadly led astray.

    If that's not enough then just look up the story of Joseph Smith (the founder of Mormonism)....the story is explained very accurately in the above referenced South Park episode.

          It's not random at all, it's showing just some of the beliefs that Mormons hold that go directly against the Christian bible, common sense, and historical and scientific fact.

          There's people who say 'there's no scientific proof of the Christian bible, or God, etc' BUT there IS scientific and historical proof against the Mormon books. And there is no scientific or historical evidence AGAINST the Christian bible. And the Mormon books (written by a man in the 1800's, mind you) directly conflict with the Christian bible. So, Mormon's can't POSSIBLY be Christians. Nor can they be very intelligent, if they believe that the sun gets it's light from the star Kolob, near the planet where God lives (ummm, OK?). And that dark skin is a curse from God. Native Americans were white, you know, untill God got angry at them and turned their skin dark. That's what Mormons believe. They believe that life originated in America, and that the Garden of Eden is in Missouri. Really? Really??<BR><BR>People are so ignorant of what Mormons believe, it's astounding.

    I'm shocked that 25 people voted yes. Goes to show how uninformed those 25 people are.

    ...

    And with that, you also have my answer.

    I mean, if we are talking about the Duggars, then hell yeah they are a cult of sad, abusive people. I don't think that's representative of all mormons though so idk

    I'm a mormon and feel very much that I'm a Christian. I believe that Christ is our savior and that He died for our sins. I believe that studying the Bible and the Book of mormon help me understand how to live better and happier. I read the earlier posts and I think arguing about anything online, especially religion and politics, is a waste of time, but I will say there are quite a few things in that list that I've never heard of. I'm not here to argue and I probably won't come back to this post, but I thought that I would share my views as a member of the church of JESUS CHRIST of latter day saints.

    Hell no, they're not Christians!!

    I'd highly recommend watching the South Park episode "All About Mormons"...totally accurate and funny.

    I think the fundamentals minus the Joseph Smith parts they believe would classify them as Christian. But damn their method of recruitment and missionary tactics are in your face.

      As a Mormon, I feel I must mention, it's possible to believe in both. Mormon was a prophet who preached of Jesus. You believe in both George Washington *and* Johnny Depp, don't you?
