The fourteen fundamental articles or beliefs of Mormons
The reason this is here is because many have written to me wanting to know what do Mormons really believe. There are a lot of pro-Mormon propaganda sites and they all say the same thing - family unity, they are Christian, the Book of Mormon is true and on and on. These other sites still do not say what they really believe. What Mormons actually believe is not normally taught by the Mormon missionaries or shown on the TV commercials. Mormon doctrine is quite fluid.
1 - God was once a man who lived on another planet
This is the most important teaching of Mormonism.
....We believe that God was once a mortal man on another planet who progressed by living in obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel he had on his world, then he died. He became a resurrected man and evolved to become a god.
....He is still married now (some early leaders say he is a polygamist) and created this world. We worship only the one true god, which is really one god among millions or billions or more. We believe that we will follow in God's footsteps by becoming perfect and we too will become Gods and Goddesses creating spirit children and peopling other worlds. The Mormon TV commercials showing family togetherness is the foundation for life in the next world - as a family - as gods.

"...you have to learn to be Gods yourselves, and to be kings and priests to God, the same as all Gods have done before you, - namely, by going from one small degree to another..."
Reference: Journal of Discourses Vol. 6 Page 275, 1852. Brighan Young speaking:
"After men have got their exaltations and their crowns - have become Gods..."
probably true, but they look at the number of delegates each candidates have for final victory and so far obama still has a couple more despite clinton's win....the race is now racially divided and the more obama plays the black card, the more he'll lose favour with other races...hispanics are now the largest minority so the black votes may not help him enough.....edwards should drop out now and offer to be vp so as to stand a chance 8 years later.......Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:Clinton Wins in Nevada
Looks like Obama is finished.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Illinois Sen. Barack Obama easily defeated rival senator Hillary Clinton in South Carolina's Democratic primary on Saturday, taking home the party's first contest in a southern state.
The Palmetto State's primary had long appeared to be Obama's to lose, as the African-American senator was expected to garner the support of large numbers of black voters. In an exit poll reported by NBC News, Obama took home 81% of support from African-Americans.
then in the same vein the whites are also racists since only 25% voted for him?Originally posted by shade343:South Carolina's black voters are farking racist. 80% of the blacks voted for a black man. This is racism. So the black people are the ones being racist now!![]()
If obama did that he'd lose all his grass roots support. They'd see him as a sellout.Originally posted by onlooker123:Obama just beat Clinton in South Carolina primaries.
It would be interesting to see if the winner of the Obama v Clinton battle would choose the loser as the Vice Presidential running mate.
In a close fight like this, then Edwards becomes a kingmaker.Originally posted by onlooker123:Obama just beat Clinton in South Carolina primaries.

..and women are sexist since most of them voted Hillary? This is a weird US presidential election year!Originally posted by countdracula:then in the same vein the whites are also racists since only 25% voted for him?
You have to put things in perspective. The white vote is split between Obama, Clinton and John Edwards. John Edwards draws his support primarily from whites.Originally posted by countdracula:then in the same vein the whites are also racists since only 25% voted for him?

It all well and good to debate on Obama's candidacy.
BUT.... the funny thing about US elections is that the minorities interests always, always trumps the majorities wishes. And when i say minority i dont mean blacks, hispanics, women and what not. Corporations decide elections. They fund campaigns, they help in outreach ..etc
Mark my words, republicans back in office.
My advice is balance the information you are getting from main stream media with information from the internet.
You may not be getting a full view if you just look at main stream media.
