God didn't let this ban stand, your racist leaders did. This alone should let you know that your prophets are fake, yet you excuse it by blaspheming God..As far as blacks being LDS...stop pointing to self-hating blacks to excuse your racism. There were blacks who sided with their slave-masters during slavery, that didn't justify slavery, and these loathesome blacks certainly cannot justify your false church. There were also Jews who policed their own people in Nazi ghettos. I stil hate nazism!

[thatmormonboy]

Keep in mind that virtually all the racism that existed in Mormonism consisted merely of black people not being able to participate in the clergy, that’s it. You want to talk racism? Take a look at your own history.

[thatmormonboy]

Now let’s consider some of the things I DIDN’T mention in this video: Mormons have ALWAYS taught the black people have souls; that they are children of God, and therefore our brothers and sisters. We have ALWAYS believed that black people have all the potential to come to Jesus, be cleaned, sanctified, and then to become like God.

[thatmormonboy]

We have ALWAYS taught that black people will eventually inherit all of the same blessing that white people will, and these are beliefs that existed even during the most “racist” periods of our history. For over a century, these dogmas alone were far too liberal for mainstream Christianity to accept, and for at least half a century we were persecuted and murdered by Christians for being to liberal about race.

[thatmormonboy]

So before you go around comparing people to Nazi’s you may want to educate yourself. You can start by going to blacklds.org. Don’t allow yourself to harbor hate and prejudice towards any group, even if you disagree with their doctrine. We as Christians need to love and tolerate each other. When you are bothered by the beliefs of others, spend time studying and researching instead of criticizing. Ignorance perpetuates intolerance.

[thatmormonboy]

Also, I want you to notice that I did not attack Christians in this video. Such a thing would have been foolish since most Christian denominations have publically apologized for their historical racism. Plus, I realize that we need to let old wounds heal, and we need to forgive. You would be wise to do the same.

@thatmormonboy What you said is not true. It was far more than a prohibition on blacks holding the mantle of the priesthood (or being clergy). Blacks were excluded from the temple & hence could not receive their temple endowment, be temple married & have an "eternal family", nor could they receive exaltation (godhood). LDS prophets made clear that blacks could only enter the Celestial Kingdom as servants. Blacks were effectually excluded from all that Mormonism espouses as our purpose of life.

@goodgirlkay Um... "fake niceness"? I find it saddening that you can't discern a genuine spirit when you see one. I served a mission and was surrounded by hundreds of mostly American missionaries (men/women) and I can tell you that the majority were regular, imperfect people who were trying their best. Based on your analysis, how would you EVER know that someone was genuine? You think this guy (thatmormonboy) is being fake??! And yeah, that is mean to say, especially if you're wrong.

[mneliason]

@nonassumsit Holy crap - do you have nothing better to do?? lol Seriously! You've been busy! I don't know why people get so excited when someone tries to explain/defend their faith on Youtube. Like, give the guy a break! Let him say what he wants! I'm a mormon and if a Jew or Catholic or Jehovah's Witness wants to post a video talking about their faith - then all the power to them! Seriously people!!! TO EACH THEIR OWN. PERIOD. No, seriously, PERIOD.

THE KING JAMES BIBLE WAS PRINTED 16TH CENTURY ENGLISH MORE THAN TWO CENTURIES BEFORE THE "BOOK OF FANTASY MORMON" .....

WHY WAS THE JOSEPH CON-MAN SMITH TRANSLATING THE BOOK OF MORMON IN 16TH CENTURY ENGLISH AND NOT 19TH CENTURY ENGLISH ? ? ?

[nonassumsit]

The Authorized King James Version is an English translation of the Christian Holy Bible begun in 1604 and completed in 1611 by the Church of England. MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT HOW THE "BOOK OF MORMON" WAS TRANSLATED IN, and is written in 16th century English...who knew that "reformed Egyptian" would translate nicely into archaic English

THEY DIDN'T EVEN SPEAK 16TH CENTURY ENGLISH IN 1830....

SO WHY THEN IS "CON-MAN JOSEPH SMITH" USING 16TH CENTURY ENGLISH TO TRANSLATE THE BOOK OF MORMON ? ?

[nonassumsit]

OH YA ! ! I DON'T WANT TO FORGET TO SAY SINCE I WAS A MEMBER FOR OVER 15 YEARS, THAT THE CHURCH TELLS IT'S MEMBERS TO SUSTAIN FROM ALCHOL, CIGARETTES, AND CAFFEINE, BUT PROBABLE ABOUT 25% TO 30% ARE ON SOME SORT OF PHARMACEUTICAL DRUGS.......

LIKE;

Vicodin, OxyContin, Xanax, Ambien, Demerol, Percocet, Ritalin, Hydrocodone

I guess believing in "SUPERSTITIONS" is easier when your numb...

[nonassumsit]

One thing to remember, I'm NOT trying to PROVE "GAWD" exist, or doesn't or what "GAWD" is, because the evidence of "PROOF" always falls on the one who makes the claim with regards to the existence of "SOMETHING".

I can’t argue with a “belief” example:  SANTA CLAUSE, TOOTH FAIRY. You can never be called upon to prove a negative either.

[nonassumsit]

What kind of "GOD" requires "faith" instead of evidence? Faith is the excuse people give for believing in something when they don't have evidence.

If you can come up with something that I believe in, and I don’t have evidence for it I’ll stop believing it.

The nature of a rational mind does not believe on something if it lacks evidence

A “fictitious god” expects that you believe without evidence

Beliefs are not justified when there is no evidence

[nonassumsit]

Faith and be- Lie -fs" are NOT moral attributes.

Why would you believe anything on “faith”? Faith is NOT a pathway to TRUTH.

Every religion has some sort of “faith”, if “faith” is your pathway, you can’t distinguish between Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, Mormonism, Catholicism, and others.

How is it you use reason for every endeavor of your life, and then when it comes to the ultimate truth say that “faith” is required?

[nonassumsit]

It is written in the bible “prove all things”, when is the last time you prove the bible or when is the last time you proved ‘GOD’?

Faith is like walking in the dark. Virtues are in those things you KNOW, and can PROVE, but FAITH is NOT a virtue.

Faith is a "BLIND GUIDE", religion is a does NOT create a morals.

Faith is like walking in the dark.
