SALT LAKE CITY (WNB) - The hit Broadway show, The Book of Mormon, is apparently getting under the skin of the Mormon Church.
A new article about their teaching that members become gods and receive their own planets in the afterlife, is the latest in a series posted on the church website explaining particular Mormon beliefs.
Some of the other articles are:
- Joseph Smith - Racist pedophile flim-flam douche, or misunderstood man of God?
- Golden tablets - Not lost, simply misplaced.
- Angel Moroni - Just shy or in hiding?
- Satan, brother of Jesus - Every family has one.
- Works-based salvation - 10 health benefits of bicycling.
- Mormon Church and blacks - We like them now.
- Indians descended from Jews - Angel Moroni wasn't perfect.
- Mormon Church and polygamy - See above.
The church says it will continue to defend its doctrine against "forces of darkness that wish to discredit it, particularly the Catholics."

Personal note from Editor in Chief, Scooter Van Neuter:
As many of you are aware, some years ago I, myself, was a practicing Mormon, and as such, feel moved to offer my support for that wonderful organization.
Among all Christian-type churches, the Mormon church has by far the most attractive and wholesome members, especially compared to the Pentecostals and Southern Baptists. Also, their temples are way cooler and more mysterious than their competitors - very stylish and full of secret rooms used for stuff only top Mormons know about.
One thing I especially like is the fact Mormon missionaries were "green" long before Al Gore thought of it, and with the exception of swampy countries, they single handedly popularized the 10 speed bicycle worldwide.
There are many other great things about the Mormon Church, but that's all I can think of right now.
Kudos to the Mormons for defending themselves - they deserve to be taken seriously.
