Don't forget that in their "heaven" women are eternally pregnant(though they claim thats a metophore for something else), they also believe that if you're worthy enough you yourself become a god, and you are equal to God himself. And at one time they believe that their prophet was the reincarnation of God or some sh*t, I forget how it went but they still believe their prophit is like the highest form of human on Earth. They also believe that Moroni(might have been manti, or Nephi) was the first human in the New World, and that he started a great civiliziation, and all the native Americans come from that civilization, and that they themselves are decendents from that civilization. oh yeah, and in heaven all people of color become white. A lot of their beliefs are like a mix between Islam, Christianity, Judism, and Hinduism, with some other Polythesitic ideas thrown in. Basically they took parts of other religions they liked, and combined them into forming their own cult.Josepth Smith(the founding wacko of the church) is supposably to have seen a white Salamander who was actually god. the Salamander told Smith the Book of Mormon. but in the Bible, in the Book of Isiah I believe, God tells Isiah that Satan would appear to a false prophit in the guise of a white Salamander.
