Now I must stop for a time, as I have to meet work obligations. Taken alone and out of context, I fear some of these answers may sound weird. We have a beautiful and logical and deep belief system for those who explore it in depth, and really all these surface scratching answers don't do it all justice. If you are genuinely interested, as more questions and continue doing research on your own. While you may find some interesting and sensationalistic information from anti-Mormon sites, you should at least do yourself a favor and broaden your research, as those with an agenda are likely to approach historical information from a very negative angle. Remember, I've probably read or heard more anti-Mormon info than you, and I'm simply a casual researcher. The Church does not obstruct research, and we have many respected and intelligent scientists and historians who are aware of far more than anyone on this site or on those anti-Mormon sites, including stuff that might seem damaging to our reputation. Also, trust me that when you read crap like, "Mormons believe Jesus and Satan are blood brothers!" that this is clearly a tabloid-like approach and that the more correct answers are far more interesting and and logical. Ask me if you want more answers.

And with regards to any questions, comments, or jokes that I have not commented on, believe me, I appreciate all your input, and I may have simply overlooked it in my haste to put out so much information here, or simply don't have time to even comment. My apologies, but again, I appreciate your participation.

Always feel free to check out lds.org or mormon.org (the former more targeted at Church members familiar with doctrine, the latter more for newbies to the Mormon scene).
