Genealogies

The Mormons believe in a Third Testament, The Book of Mormon, first published in 1830 by Joseph Smith, in like Early Modern English of the King James Version of the Bible. The text, Mormons claim, contains writings of prophets who lived in the Americas about 1500 to 4000 years ago. The text was said to have been revealed on golden plates in an original language called "reformed Egyptian." Historical authenticity is challenged, but nevertheless, its dubious authorship is seen as divine inspiration. The Mormons believe in polygamy. They encourage the study of extensive genealogies, so that people know their place in family. Subliminally, Mormons believe in the limitations of human intelligence. Religion is from the creative side of the brain. This sect is otherwise called The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Their door-to-door promoters are often handsome men in suit attire.
