We've talked about Mormonism quite a bit in previous episodes.

Perhaps you know them is simply one of the religions that can come knocking on your door at random hours to preach to you.

Maybe you know that many of them are located in Utah, but you're not quite sure why.

Or maybe you've heard that Mormons believe that they get their own planet when they die and that Native Americans are actually descendants of ancient Jewish people that sailed to the United States.

Today we're going to try and understand Mormon history as well as their faith and answer some of the questions you may have about Mormonism.

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of the Corporate Casket.

I'm the Illuminati and before we get started, let me make a massive disclaimer. This is by no means all of Mormon history, nor is it all of their values.

Obviously I can't condense all of that into a single half hour episode as Mormons hold a variety of beliefs within the same religion.

So there may be some conflicting information where some groups or sex believe it, others do not.

However, this is the very abridged Mormon history and value system based on my sources which I've found, which in large part include the official Church's website itself.

So with that disclaimer in mind, let's get into it.

While it's been said that Mormonism is a new religion that started in the 1800s

with founder Joseph Smith, many Mormons don't see their religion that way, apparently.

Instead, Mormonism isn't necessarily a new religion per se, but seen as a restoration of Christianity.

According to their official website, Mormons not only believe in the Bible but in the book of Mormon and see both as the word of God.

This is where many Christians contend Mormon beliefs as at the end of the Bible it says you cannot take away or add to the Bible.

Therefore since the Book of Mormon is an addition in their eyes it's invalid.

The Mormon response to this is quote,

it seems odd to us to be accused of being irreverent or

disloyal to the Bible when we suggest to the religious world that the God of

heaven has chosen to speak again.

Quote, our challenge is hauntingly reminiscent of that faced by Peter, James, John, or Paul
