I have some great friends who are Mormon and every time I find out something new about what they believe I think "REALLY?!? You seem like a smart person! How on earth could you believe THAT?! I am also a bit of a sci-fi geek and I watch Stargate SG-1 a lot. I have seen some things on Startgate that seem very similar to the Mormon beliefs. And actually the Ori ( the bad guys on the show) are a little MORE believable. Both the Ori and the Mormons offer Ascension to there followers. As in if you believe in this who-ha you will someday become a god.
They are both very organised and united in the fact that they teach the same thing at the same time to all who believe. The Ori have a big stick with a blue crystal on the end that glows and tells the prior (who is like a prophet of the Ori... kind of like this Morman group) what to teach the believers and the Mormons make sure every church is teaching the each same lessons and giving the same message to every believer every single week. I can see how those things might be tempting to believe. Here is where it gets a little fuzzy for me.
The Mormons also believe that the temple in Utah is a place where God himself actually comes down in a BODY and walks around. I want to know if they have a stargate in there!
They think you can convert your dead relatives to Mormonism.
The Mormons also believe that if they wear the special underwear that they are protected from all evil. Check out this video.
MMMmmmm HHHmmmmm.... Hallowed are the Mormon underpants.
