Oh, good heavens, your rhetoric has skyrocketed beyond the ceiling of plausibility. You cannot possibly be this ignorant of Mormonism, Christianity, Islam, or Hinduism, which means you're just being dishonest for rhetorical effect. Why lie so flagrantly when you spend so much time spewing hatred at others for ostensible dishonesty?

But then, Muslims are rabidly anti-polytheist to the point that they view Christianity as a form of polytheism. The rejection of polytheism is as core of a teaching in Islam as salvation through Jesus Christ is in Christianity. So, I'm still trying to figure out where the Islam part came in. I suspect it probably has something to do with the birth of Islam's and the Koran's relationship to Judeo-Christian religion in the Middle East, but I'm not sure.
Mormonism is basically a branch of Methodism that got weird. Well, weird in a different way.
Hey, careful with that knowledge. You wouldn't want Servant to get educated at all.
Consider that Smith taught polytheism, much like Hindus, and said he'd be a "Second Mohammed" to this country. You guys can deal with it - I don't believe him anyway!

Who said that within the Mormon scheme of things polytheism and absolute monotheism can't be simultaneously taught? For that matter, the Book of Mormon teaches Sabellianism, and the Mormons are polytheists. Does that even make sense? And all the little Mormon missionaries run around telling Christians that they believe "just like you," but that they have a little more! Come on - nothing needs to make sense in Mormonism - including the fact that Mormons here who seem to be so "above" it all, who want to appear so "skeptical" of Joe Smith, and even those who deny Christ's resurrection, rush to defend Joe Smith at the drop of a hat. It's such a bunch of bunk - if you don't believe him, why defend him? Because, down deep, you really do! Joe Smith reigns on MD! And Mormonism is a declining cult!

True story.
Consider that Guru Hargobind carried one sword for spiritual reasons, and one sword for temporal reasons, much like Joseph Smith’s temporal sword as a general, and spiritual sword of the angel.
Deal with it.

Was that the adultery angel Joe was in touch with?

If the comparison is just the broad and generic notion of "polytheism," then the version found in the Old Testament would infinitely more appropriate a comparison.
