Tired of religious lip service? So was Joseph Smith. Of course there is a God, a loving one at that. I invite anyone who has questions about Mormons to drop me comment or an email. I have some links you might be interested in. You will get an insiders look as to what we do, and who we are.

@Z8nate I am a non partisan deist i go to a baptist university so some of this may be baptist propaganda that I have heard I have a few questions on the Mormon churches possible racist roots such as being black is a sign that you were among those who rebelled against heaven and that the native Americans were the lost tribes of Israel?

I'll send you an email.

Dp mormons know they believe black people were white people who were cursed by god?

And in regards to this specific video, I have several mormon friends who have served multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, I have known of many mormon soldiers who have fought and died to protect our freedoms in this war, vietnam where many of my father, and uncle's mormon friends were killed, WW2, WW1, fighting in the war against Mexico, ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War, etc. We are extremely patriotic and greatly value the Constitution of The United States of America. :)

Continued from below: In that regard, many of us are extremely patriotic & value the freedoms of this Constitution of the United States of America. This country was founded on religious freedom & tolerance. Much of the earliest settlers came here in hopes of freedom to worship. I ask that we please not foster views that can grow into KKK, Nazi, etc attitudes. It broke my heart as a kid when one of my best friends was no longer allowed to play with me because I was "mormon." Let's love, not hate.

Continued from below: Yet when we were forced to take refuge in then Mexico, the US government actually asked the mormon men for volunteers to fight in the war against Mexico. And our men, amid the blunt discrimination and blatant violence against us, still served the country that they were just kicked out of. Many of us have ancestors for example, who fought in the Revolutionary War, or had ancestors who came to settle America before being introduced to the Latter Day Saint faith later on.

continued from below: raping our women, leaving us homeless in the dead of winter where my great, great grandpa's first wife froze to death, and they were pushed by the mobs so forcefully that all he could do was cover her with rocks from the ground being too frozen still to burry her, and then carry their baby who miraculously survived, the rest of the way across the plains to Utah, which was then Mexico.I had another Mormon ancestor shot 8 times in the head by a mob just for being a mormon...

To continue from below, I've had ancestors murdered from mob voilence due to fostering this bigotry attitude agaist us. People say the KKK has gone away, but many people foster this very attitude in their hearts against Mormons. If anything, you are brain washed in your hatred against us. In terms of our own trail of tears, I have my ancestors accounts of being forced from city to city, state to state, extermination orders giving mobs freedom to kill mormons without any law, burning our houses,

There are over 14 million mormons around the world. My bishop growing up was native american & black. I've grown up much of my life with people telling me how brain washed I am, yet basic history books still often don't have the most basic facts right about us.Many history books were re-written showing a more detailed & true account of the Native American struggles etc & real facts.I can't wait when that time can hopefully come for us.I'm a 7th generation Mormon.We've had our own trail of tears.

Wow, they just filmed a black mormon in the wild! This footage is more rare than my video of a unicorn giving the Loch Ness monster a blumpkin!

[gaBehcuoDsuoitneterP]

@Z8nate That's a yes.

These people are confused on their doctrine. Other than that, they're decent, moral people.
