I have read pieces of the Book of Mormon, and I own a copy so I should read the
whole thing. I was also raised with Mormons. (my best friends were Mormon, and
most of my street growing up). My impressions of the Mormon people, as a
culture, is pretty good. They seem to be quite kind, caring and compassionate
people. Now for the bad, They were all touched by some lunacy I still cannot
fathom. In all cases I know of, the father would be what I consider "abusive".
Not super abusive, but enough to make me uncomfortable. They were also strict
about marriage, missions, and social behaviour. It seems that the biggest
problem I have with the Mormon beliefs, is that that are very obviously false.
The writer himself, Joe Smith I think his name is, acknowledged that his
writings were fancy, and Brigham Young was known for saying, and I am
paraphrasing, "Human's were put by aliens to colonize and populate the Earth".
My last argument with the Mormons is their irresponsible outlook on population.
They seem to have VERY high birthrates. In my view, irresponsible reproduction
for any reason is a major *sin*.
