They also have an extremely racist history. According to Smith (sorry, he wrote the fucking Book of Mormon, not some angel named Moroni), God led a group of people from Jerusalem to the New World some 600 years before Christ was born. They split into two groups -- the righteous and white skinned Nephites, and the evil and black skinned Lamanites. The Lamanites destroyed the virtuous Nephites, and if they manage to repent their evil ways the Lamanites have the chance of becoming "a white and delightsome people." I believe the Native Americans were supposed to be the descendants of the Lamanites according to Smith.
Did anyone see the Daily Show episode recently where they interview a gay couple who were basically beaten by Mormon security on a public street for kissing each other on the cheek?
