as if I really care, just the part about Africans and Native Americans is really disturbing. They seem to make a big deal about 'welcoming' all races, well of course they do, they're supposed to tithe 10% of their income.
This video is essentially an accurate portrayal of Mormonism. I mean, the storytelling style is meant to be derogatory and to make Mormonism look exceedingly crazy, but it's pretty much accurate.
The stuff about Africans is true. Though it's not really much crazier than what regular Christians used to believe with the whole "curse of ham" stuff. The Mormons have softened the racial stuff and openly allow Blacks into the church now, as of maybe the 50's or so. Maybe later.
Also, all of that Native American stuff is pretty much the basics of Mormonism too. It's all be softened and toned down now though.
