I have to smile when I hear Mormons explain this bible verse to me:

Galatians 1:8-9. "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed".

The book of Mormon claims Joseph Smith was directed to the tablets by an angel from God. This clearly contradicts the bible because Mormonism is not the gospel of the new testament. It's a different message.

I heard a rumor that Mormons believe that once you die, you become a God of your own planet. And that our God was an alien that died and became our God. It doesn't sound correct, and in fact it sounds so retarded that I'm afraid to confront my mormon friend with that question without being a jackass. Could anyone correct me on this?

The Deity of Man Promoted

Mormons teach that man can become God, and that God was once a man:

"God himself, the Father of us all, is a glorified, exalted immortal resurrected man!" (Bruce McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, pp. 322-23, 517, 643)
"...God himself was once as we are now and is an exalted man and sits enthroned in yonder heavens..." (Journal of Discourses, V6, P3, 1844)
"As man is, God once was: as God is, man may become." (Lorenzo Snow, quoted in Milton R. Hunter, the Gospel Through the Ages, pp. 105-106)

This is plain and simple heresy. Nowhere does the Bible say or imply that God was ever a man, or that man can become God! Malachi 3:6 says, "For I am the LORD, I change not..." How could this be true if God was once a man? Genesis 1:1 states that God existed "in the beginning" before man was ever created. John 4:24 states that God is a "spirit," and Jesus tells us in John 1:18 that no man has seen God at any time. Numbers 23:19 says that "God is not a man that he should lie; neither the son of man that he should repent." God has always been God, and no one has ever "become" God.

Only if you're a man.

Kinda sucks to be a woman, if you're a Mormon.

It's not true. It's a mis-interpretation of the book of mormon used by mainstream Christians to make mormons look like Whackos. When the book of Mormon refers to god having been as we are, they are refering to Jesus. Christians believe the same, that's what makes them Christian.

Religion - Just a Larger Cult

Humans needs are shelter, food, social life, spiritual life, financial life, mental health, love, faith.

Conveniently there is a Christian church on almost every street corner in America as it would seem; and they all claim to be the only true way to balancing the human needs we all have.

You can pray to God without a church, he lives within!
Live the Light, Give the Light,
Bring Heaven to Earth Every Day!


I am not a human being having a spiritual experience, I am a spiritual being having a human experience.

The ancient Greeks used to say, "You shall know a man by the friends that he keeps." Given the nature of their friends and advisers, what are we to conclude about the Republican party:
Stop the madness before us it stops!

Why of course Jesus never existed. You like other Aryans only believe that parts of the bible that fit your agenda. If he never existed, how can you follow his teachings? How can you follow the teachings of someone who never existed? This should be good.
