The mormon faith claims it's the same God because it's how they can get Christians to convert. In all actuality, mormonism (well, the latter-day saints as they call themselves now because people get twitchy over the name mormon now) is completely different than Christianity. Most mormons don't know what they believe in because they're not being told everything about their religion. They're supposed to believe in 3 heavens, Jesus & Satan were brothers (metaphorically and literally), black is the colour of sin (which is why blacks weren't allowed until the 70's after the name change to latter-day saints), and a few various other things... such as white hebrew indian albinos traversing the world all the way to Utah to plant golden tablets in a place that doesn't have gold. As a religion, they pull it off though because they're really friendly to you and they make it feel like a great family atmosphere and they help people out in need. They're really good salesmen pretty much because they spin their shit so it doesn't sound so twisted and then gradually bring out the crazy stuff to you.

You missed the part about God living on the planet or around the star kobol. But the Book of Mormon needs to be taken very literal.

It dosen't matter where their faith differs from other religions it's still technically the same Abrahamic God that Christianity, Catholicism, Islam, Judaism, etc share.

It's not the same God as Christian, Hebrew or Islamic faiths, for the simple fact that, while these three religions share a principle of One God, Mormonism promotes a system of millions of gods - and even promise their members that if they lead a truly Mormonistic lifestyle, they too will become gods. They also teach that God was once a man, who worshipped and served under another god.

For any Mormons/LDS who want to try to deny this statement, I encourage you to read Brigham Young's discourses.

Also featured in Brigham Young's dicourses are statements about "blood atonement", and why black people have the "mark of Cain," and cannot enter into Heaven.

Your "blood attonement" has actually been followed during Brigham Young's reign. I can't remember the name, but a girl did a report in my class about 4 years ago on how the mormon's massacred a bunch of white settlers bc they were not mormon. They then adapted all the now orphaned new borns. It was pretty cool as she had to give a presentation on it in class in a community that 50% LDS.

Scientology is their spiritual successor.

Fux you mormon.

According to Mormon mythology, God lives on a planet that orbits a star called "Kolob."

That's fucking nuts, and yet still more logical than anything offered about God in the Bible.

At the end of the day, they're still a pain in the fucking arse!
