STR truth flash exclusive: Mormonism
Milt Romney is going to hell! If you vote for him, you will too. This devil can not, will not and shall not be the next Republican candidate. He is liar and apostate. I have recently been reading about his Godless creed and it burns up my very soul to think that people believe such crazy nonsense. Where is their evidence even? Nowhere, that’s where. Anyway, so that you may see how deranged their religion is we at STR.com bring you an exclusive extract from crazed atheist pervert Sam Jordison’s foul book The Joy Of Sects. Even atheists can get some things right!
Sam Johnston
Basic beliefs:
America was originally settled by people from the Tower of Babel. After his death on the cross, Christ made an appearance in America where he again preached the gospel. Indulgence in caffeine and alcohol is not good for you. Hard work is. The highest heaven is open only to baptised Mormons. The official church does not believe in polygamy any more.
In 1820, Joseph Smith, the founder and first prophet of the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was confused about which of the many contemporary Protestant sects he ought to join. He solved his problem by asking God directly. ?None of them,? He said, appearing before Smith as a pillar of light. It was the first of many visions Smith was to receive in his lifetime.
Just over three years later, in 1823, another divine personage, an angel called Moroni, appeared by Smith?s bedside. He was dressed in a white robe, ?his feet did not touch the floor?, and he claimed to be the son of Mormon, the departed leader of an extinct American race called the Nephites. Moroni told Smith about a set of golden plates that contained a written history of the mysterious races that inhabited America before the time of Columbus. Then he disappeared to heaven in a shaft of light. A few minutes later Moroni reappeared at Smith?s bedside. He repeated everything that he had just said, and then vanished, just as he had done before. Then he came back again and repeated the same words a third time.
Smith said that he didn?t get much sleep that night. The next day he was understandably exhausted. He passed out when attempting to climb over a fence on his way out of a field ? and the angel Moroni came to him yet again. This time he told him where to find the golden plates, buried in the side of a hill named Cumorah (near Palmyra in New York state). Smith went there right away and unearthed the famous plates. Buried alongside them was a pair of supernatural silver spectacles, the ?Urim and Thummim?, which Smith was to use to translate the hieroglyphics on the plates. These were written in a language called ?reformed Egyptian?. (Curiously, archaeologists and Egyptologists say that there is no evidence that any such language existed).
Joseph Smith. Why would anyone put their faith in this transparent charlatan?
Smith spent the next four years preparing himself to do this great work of translation. Then he carried the golden plates home in a buggy (managing to get them there without anyone ? not even his wife Emma ? seeing them). He then set himself up behind a screen, so that the plates were still concealed, and got stuck into several years? hard graft.
A great deal has been written about the flaws in the resultant tome, the Book Of Mormon (for more on this, see Appendix 3). It isn?t just the inaccuracies and alleged plagiarisms that have offended the Book Of Mormon?s detractors. Its literary qualities are said to leave something to be desired, too. ?It is,? said Mark Twain ?chloroform in print.? The celebrated author of Huckleberry Finn also laid into Smith?s habit of peppering his otherwise fairly contemporary nineteenth-century prose with biblical-sounding words and phrases like ?exceeding sore?, ?yea?, ?exceedingly glad?, ?unto?, ?great joy?, ?harkening? and ?smiting?. If, said Twain, Smith had left out his favourite phrase, ?And it came to pass?, then his 500-page bible ?would only have been a pamphlet?.
When the book was first published in 1830, it was savaged by the press. No reviewer seemed to have any doubt that Smith was a confidence trickster who had invented the whole story. Nor did Smith?s personal life escape criticism. In 1834 an investigative journalist published a series of affidavits from friends and neighbours who described him as a lazy, untruthful, religious con man. They characterised the rest of his family as ?illiterate, whiskey-drinking, shiftless and irreligious?. They also suggested that it was no coincidence that Joseph?s father, Joe Senior, was a persistent treasure seeker and that the young Joseph Smith had often accompanied him on his expeditions, hoping to find the loot left by Captain Kidd and indulging their fondness for the occult and fortune-telling on the way.
In spite of ? or perhaps even because of ? the negative publicity he was receiving, Smith soon gathered a considerable following. They gradually moved towards the less inhabited west of the USA to avoid religious persecution ? persecution that only increased in 1843 when Smith declared that God had ordained plural marriage. A firm believer in practising what he preached, Smith was said to have gathered 27 wives by the time he died (some estimates put the number as high as 60).
Smith?s death came in extraordinary circumstances, when a mob broke into the jail he was being held in, shot him and threw him out of a window. It was left to his successor Brigham Young to lead his followers on the long arduous trek across the deserts of Utah until they finally settled in Salt Lake City. There, safe from too much outside interference, the faith prospered. Brigham Young (also said to be a prophet ? as are all presidents of the Mormon church) was a shrewd administrator and by the time he died the city was thriving. He had collected 140,000 followers and no fewer than 25 wives (?The only men who become gods are those who enter into polygamy,? he declared).
Since Brigham Young?s time, the Mormon ideals of hard work and abstinence have paid off in abundance ? as has the church?s levy of a tithe on all of its adherents? incomes. Since officially abandoning the policy of polygamy in the 1890s (although several pockets of fundamentalists still exist who engage in plural marriages ? outside the sanction of the church) the faith has become the apogee of American respectability. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints owns most of Utah, a large part of Hawaii and land in Canada, as well as the Marriott hotel chain, the Beneficial Life Assurance Company, and TV and radio stations. Its morally austere adherents have some of the lowest cancer rates in the US ? and some of the best physical fitness. They promote the boy scouts, have short haircuts and the missionaries they send out around the world are scrupulously neat and remarkably polite.
Don’t be fooled Christian Americans! This is not a church! It’s the gateway to hell!
Consequently, the religion is growing faster than any other in the US and spreading around the world at an incredible rate. What?s more, in order to give those unfortunate enough not to be baptised into the Mormon church a chance of attaining the ultimate Mormon goal of divinity (they believe the most devout will get to populate their own planets), the Church is posthumously baptising thousands and thousands of people. If expansion continues at its current rate, by the year 5000, the entire world will belong to the Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints. Not bad, considering how it all began.
These Mormon elders are burning in hell. Is that what you want for the rest of your country?
The Curse of Darkness
As recently as 1978, black males were banned from entering the Mormon priesthood.
Mormon writings had long pointed to a ?curse? God put on Cain for the murder of his brother Abel, as told in Genesis. ?Cain might have been killed, and that would have put a termination to the line of human beings,? announced the prophet Brigham Young. ?This was not to be, and the Lord put a mark upon him, which is the flat nose and black skin.? Dark skin was also the curse inflicted on the Lamanites in the Book Of Mormon and there are many passages extolling the splendour of ?whiteness?.
?Negroes? are ?not equal? with other races, wrote Bruce McConkie, a church apostle, in his book Mormon Doctrine in 1966. The Latter-day Saints have since modified this doctrine, as they have the other embarrassing doctrine of polygamy, although this puts them in the embarrassing position of having to renounce the teachings of men they consider divinely inspired prophets.

“Where is their evidence even?”
-And where’s yours? You’re just begging for me to demand proof…
I don’t know much of the Mormon faith, but I’m going to do my best tearing into the article anyway… cause I’m just that badass…
“Curiously, archaeologists and Egyptologists say that there is no evidence that any such language existed”
-Yeah, because it’s not like the scientific and historical communities haven’t questioned ninety percent of the Bible’s content. *Cough* *Cough*
“A great deal has been written about the flaws in the resultant tome, the Book Of Mormon”
-Aye, same goes for the Bible.
“It isn?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t just the inaccuracies and alleged plagiarisms”
Check, and Check, both can also be found in the Bible.
“It is,?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ said Mark Twain ?¢‚ǨÀúchloroform in print.?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢”
-Yeah, that’s about how I feel about the Bible…
“neighbours who described him as a lazy, untruthful, religious con man. They characterised the rest of his family as ?¢‚ǨÀúilliterate, whiskey-drinking, shiftless and irreligious?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢.”
-Jesus was but a poor carpenter that broke bread with tax collectors, he even hung around with a whore.
“Joe Senior, was a persistent treasure seeker and that the young Joseph Smith had often accompanied him on his expeditions, hoping to find the loot left by Captain Kidd and indulging their fondness for the occult and fortune-telling on the way.”
-Just sounds like a father having some fun with his kid to me…
“Its morally austere adherents have some of the lowest cancer rates in the US ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú and some of the best physical fitness. They promote the boy scouts, have short haircuts and the missionaries they send out around the world are scrupulously neat and remarkably polite.”
-This is all bad because? Why not let these people live their lives how they please?
“by the year 5000, the entire world will belong to the Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints. Not bad, considering how it all began.”
-Assuming the world lasts that long…
“As recently as 1978, black males were banned from entering the Mormon priesthood.”
-Though I disagree with the action, I’d like to point out that as early as 2000-some-ought Christianity has been after homosexuals.
“?¢‚ǨÀúNegroes?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ are ?¢‚ǨÀúnot equal?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ with other races”
-Oh, I see, because STR has *never* practiced any form of prejudice… *Cough* *Cough*
“having to renounce the teachings of men they consider divinely inspired prophets”
-Yes because Christianity perfectly follows all the laws of the Bible… you know, like not using different animals to plow a field, not eating shellfish or pigs, not wearing clothing of multiple fabrics, not eating meat with blood still in it, and so on.
Besides, the history of Christianity is less than sparkling; Crusades anyone?

I love Satan. I grew up in the great melting pot of the California Bay Area and loved and was loved by children from all sorts of backgrounds. Though I was one of very few Mormons, we could relate with one another because of our childhood recognition of those things that were good. I believe that good is good and evil is evil. Please look at the fruits of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and ask yourself “is this really the work of Satan?” As the Church moves into its 178th year, some of these fruits we have found are the following (as highlighted in the Church’s 2007 October General Conference):
“One of the fruits is a longer life. Studies show that practicing Mormons are healthier and therefore live longer than the national average. In 1833 the Lord revealed to Joseph Smith the Word of Wisdom, which is the way to live in order to enjoy a long and healthy life.
Second, those who are married in and attend the temple regularly have a divorce rate far below the national and world average.
Third, we achieve an educational level that is higher than the national average.
Fourth, over 70,000 members volunteer at their own expense to serve for 18 to 24 months in humanitarian efforts, Church service assignments, and full-time missionary service throughout the world.
And fifth, we place strong emphasis on self-reliance and a solid work ethic. We encourage active involvement in our communities and in providing service to others. The Church continues to donate substantial money, goods, and services to humanitarian causes around the globe, including untold hours of labor donated by members to assist in disaster cleanup and relief.”
I hate the wise council of Gamaliel as recorded in the 5th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, wherein some of the apostles were taken, bound, before the council of the Jews:
34 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;
35 And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.
36 For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
40 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
Finally, for any who wish to truly know more about what motivates us as “Mormons”, I invite you to read the Book of Mormon, our tangible witness of this modern day work and wonder, and again ask yourself, “is this teaching me to move closer to Christ and to act more as He would act, or is this teaching me to move closer to Satan?”
Personally, I know that applying the teachings of the Book of Mormon have made me a better person and have helped me come closer to my Savior, The Lord Of Darkness.
Impressive moderating, STR. I happen to have read Jeff’s comment earlier today, and it was totally different.
As far as freedom of speech goes, you sure measure with 2 standards…

Sam, This is chilling stuff. I never knew the mormons hated Jesus so much.
“I never knew the mormons hated Jesus so much.”
That’s because they don’t.

It is indeed chilling young Jimmy. Do you know what else? They hate America too. They hate christianity and so they hate all of us. Disgusting! To think that these savages have infiltrated God’s Own Party too.
Gosh Thomas, I’d really like to kill you some. Have y’all not even read the article?
“Gosh Thomas, I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢d really like to kill you some.”
Have you not read the Bible?
“Thou shallt not kill.” - Exodus 20 : 13

I find it particularly telling that polygamy was divinely inspired and communicated by Joseph Smith, but if he were alive today, he would be excommunicated from the very Satanic church that he founded.
Brigham Young wrote about the inferiority and initial sin of the darkies, yet today those beliefs and writings are swept under the rug.
If Joe and Brig were indeed prophets, as LDS claims, then they were right and the current “church” is wrong, languishing in apostasy.
Either that or the entire religion, like Scientology, is a crock and Joseph Smith was a false prophet and heretic.
Simplified: either polygamy is right and the current church is wrong or the church was wrong from the beginning, since its founder promoted polygamy.
Thomas, if he killed you some it wouldn’t be murder. Murder is killing you all the way.
Are you a ‘tard?
No thanks, I don’t read science fiction. Should I also read Dianetics and learn about Scientology? Have you?
Maybe I should also read the Satanic Bible and the Necronomicon and bathe myself in goat’s blood. No, I simply will not.
KJV is all anybody should need. The Book of Mormon is nothing but an unauthorized sequel, written by a heretic and a charlatan.
It would be like Larry Flynt making a sequel to Passion of the Christ and calling it canon. Sick and wrong.
Thankyou richard 23 for explaining that point. These liberals are so stupid it would be laughable if they weren’t so intent on ruling the world.
And quite right about the book of mormon. let me tell you though, science fiction has more basis in truth!
“killed you ’some’”? How the hell can you kill someone “some”?
Richard 23 - I thank you for your sobering prayerful words.
Yes I agree with you, and more importantly Jesus agrees with you that the Mormons are gullible victims of an outrageous and preposterous charlatan. It’s such a shame that they will all be going to hell as there is much about their personal values that I admire.
No thanks, I don?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t read science fiction. Should I also read Dianetics and learn about Scientology? Have you?
What an excellent point: There is only one book which contains nothing but the unadulterated plain honest truth and that is the King James Bible. Nothing else has stood the test of time.
Smith was a con-man who knew how to pander to the insecurities of his neighbors. He wants us to believe that Jesus walked in America. That’s nonsense.
Americans are his chosen people, but we know this by quite different means.
Jimmy
KJV. Word. Jimmy, you rock. I wish I was Sam I am.
There is simply no better site on the net for objective reporting and Godly viewpoints than STR.com. This site is something other than else.
“Maybe I should also read the Satanic Bible and the Necronomicon and bathe myself in goat?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s blood. No, I simply will not.”
–the necronomicon doesn’t even exist. it is a fabrication of the mind of H.P. Lovecraft.
Liar.
Richard, that’s just a work of fiction with a name based on the fabrication of H.P. Lovecraft. Congratulations, you can use the Amazon search function. Douchebag.
I still win.
…okay, yeah, that’s true. It exists…I can’t argue against that.
But it’s still fiction. Even if the author actually believes it’s true, one lone nut is nothing.

christianity is as fake as the mormon religion. if i ever see jesus christ i will fuck his pansy ass up.
I have studied members of the Church of Ladder-Day Saints, and they aren’t al that bad. Thay have different beliefs than others, but they live some of the most clean lives I have ever seen. People like you have no right to bash a fellow Christian religion.
