Please note, however, that the Mormon War, polygamy, the continued practice of polygamy after the Church promised it would stop, the Mountain Meadows Massacre, the Adam-God theory, and black people being the cursed seed of Cain are not typically included in any Pioneer Day parade floats, as such th...

Ladies and Gentlemen, Historians are fond of noting that a historical figure is often a product of his time and place. As an example, JSJr was a product of early 19th Century America, specifically the northeastern states. He was influenced by the prevalent Christian religious excitement and not unco...

Hi Mr. S, I look forward to reading your post more thoroughly, for now just one comment, I want to make clear that this really isn't a callout thread on Dan. I view this piece pretty much as an essay that had to cover a lot of ground and Dan didn't even begin to have enough space to fully expound o...

Ms Mica Hunt,

Mr inconceivable, If we are making up our own God individually, why not go for the gusto? I would make Him in my own image and shape, with a body of flesh and bone--just like me, of course. I would imbue Him with superpowers so he could do for me what I cannot do for myself, indeed, He would be all ...

To The Mormon Report, Why are Mormon Church meetings so dull? Why that is because they are preparing you for eternity, 24/7, in the Celestial Kingdom. A religion professor at BYU said one day in a class I was attending eons ago, if you do not like church meetings and home teaching, then you will not...

Given the many changes the Salt Lake City based church has gone through wouldn't it be better for the church to be called the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. No. The LDS Church has never been "reorganized." Maybe the Occasionally Modified Church of Jesus Christ of...
