Define Mormons Meaning

Believe in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

I spent 18 years of my life as a mormon, and have since denounced my "birthright" by finally breaking free from the monotonous thinking and lessons drilled into my head. I have heard all the lessons many, many times and do understand what I'm talking about--- I was once an active mormon who "believed" in it completely. With that being said, let's begin:

They believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet, saw God, and translated the golden plates into what is called "The Book of Mormon." (Hence, the term "mormon") They have thirteen articles of faith describing their beliefs.

There are 3 sections of heaven (Celstial being the highest, Telestial is the middle, and Terrestial is the lowest) and "hell" is called "outer darkness" and only very special people who have actually "seen" God and "know" the church is true but deny it go there. Only good mormons get to go to the highest level of heaven and only those in the top will become "Gods" of their own planets. (It's the true belief. I've heard it a billion times. It is also one reason I left the church--- Only mormons are allowed in the highest degree of heaven, but no worries, if you convert you get to be special too! :D ...I find that to be concieted, elitist bull shit.)

*There is to be no sex before marriage. (In fact, it is highly discourage to even engaed in "Passionate Kissing" because it arouses sexual feelings. I don't lie--- see the "Strength of the Youth" pamphlet all lovely mormon kids get. I think that sounds like a scary transition from nothing before marriage to all of a sudden sex after.)
*No drugs, no alcohol, no coffee, and no tea are allowed. (additionally, drinking caffiene is discouraged)
*Guys are encourage to go on missions when they turn 19, though girls can go too if they wish. They pay for it with their own money.(and though people say it's of their own free will, and there is no pressure... there is actually a big deal of pressure and a lot of Mormon girls refuse to marry a guy if they haven't gone on their mission. {I was a mormon. I live in Utah. I have seen that many times.})

*They also believe that being a homosexual is a sin. It is bad to be gay, and the person has "chosen" to be gay rather than being born that way. (One BIG reason I left the church. This has always bugged me. I don't think being gay is a sin, I don't think they choose to be gay, I think it's just predjudice crap.)
*Females' main purpose is to have children and to be a mother. They get no position of power in the church except for over other women. (They try to placate women by saying that they are super duper special because they get to have kids, making them very holy :D yay! ... that's just not even fair. Also, I have had lessons about how it is bad for women to be in the workforce because their place is in the home and that's where god wants them... As you can see, this another reason I left the church--- I get fucked over for being a girl. :D)
*Also, blacks were not allowed to have preisthood (a special gift given only to the men that allows them to bless people, and have high church positions) in the Church until all of a sudden "God" says it's time to give them the power... Amazing how that happened around the same time as the Civil Rights Movement... It certainly wasn't social pressure that made them change their minds about black people... certainly not... it was "God."

I do feel like most people born into the church were brainwashed (but you'll get mauled if you say that to them) but I think they do the best they can. And if it works for them, great! Didn't work for me...

Mormons are typically very nice, helpful people though and I am glad that they stand up for what they believe is true. :) and who knows, maybe they're right... but i doubt it.

The Ye Olde English way of saying "Morons".

a large gullible group of people who know nothing of what they believe.
american indians are considered jewish and masonry is a major part of their temple practices, and there is absolutely no evidence to back the claim of the book of mormon
the book of mormon is a frabricated story, anyone with a brain can see it for what it is

People that believe that they might become gods. The above stated 13 Articles of Faith put exactly what mormons are. And in the Bible, it states that nothing shall be added to that specific book, not the entire Bible. I forget which book it is though, but we studied it in seminary...another mormon quirk. you get up at 6 oclock every morning and go to church, then you got to school. But if it were true that that statement referred to everything, then the entire Bible would be fake, because that book was one of the first written. The bible is not compiled chronologically.

People who will deny that they are not wrong and are the most close-minded people you will ever meet. My whole family is mormon but me and my bro. Sadly, they are closed in by the church that they don't know what the real world is when they finally get to it. People aren't always nice to you outside Utah!! (Hint yes i know they are not polygamists ANYMORE. However they were in the 1800s and so on)

one of the more well known mass evangelist religions.

A strict ass religion. You dont even get coffee or caffinated soda. Husband and wives have to many kids. Most think they are better than you. They trie to put there religion on you by fruits on bikes being wannabe Jehova Wittnesses.

How can someone even mock a religion they dont even know about? I will give you 13 beleifs the mormons beleive in.

1. We Believe in god the eternal father, in his son jesus christ, and in the holy ghost.
2. we beleive that men will be punished for their own sins and not for adam's transgression.
3. We beleive that through the atonement of christ all mankind maybe saved by obidence to the laws and ordinances of the gospel.
4. WE ebelevei that the first principles and ordinances of the gospel are, first Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, 2nd Repentance; 3rd Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; 4th laying on of hands for the girlf ot he holy ghost.
5. We beleive that a man must be called of god by prophecy and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority to preach the gospel and minister in the ordincances thereof.
6. We beleve in the same organization that exsisted in the primitive chruch, namely apostles, prophets, pastors, teahers, evangelists, and so forth.

Innocent people that are(sometimes from birth) brainwashed into beleiving the mormon religon. Although not "incorrect", the Latter Day Saints still follow a cult.
