Wasn't he a Hebrew with olive skin and dark features, but some say he was light-featured or of african descent? Why do people assume ridiculous things about his origin?

1. Mary had sexual intercourse with God the Father
False we believe in the Virgin birth. God is the Father but he didn't have sexual relations with Mary.
Quotes from Brigham Young and Bruce R McConkie have said to suggest this myth but none of those quotes says sexual relations were made and both believe in the virgin birth.
2. Jesus and Lucifer are brothers.
False Lucifer will not have a physical body so he won't be a brother of anybody.
Jesus is the only begotten of the Father by his power.
3. Joseph Smith was the only one to see the golden plates.
False 3 witnesses testified that the Angel Moroni showed them plates and they held them in their hands and kept testifying until they died even after leaving the church.
8 witnesses testified that they held the plates in their hands and they too kept testifying this until they died.
There will be more mythbusting soon.
To all the antimormons out there, I can't change your minds but please tell the truth about us.

Jock finds himself in dire trouble. His business has gone bust and he's in serious financial problems. He's so desperate that he decides to ask God for help. "God, please help me. Ah've lost ma wee store and if Ah dinna get some money, Ah'm going to lose my hoose too. Please let me win the lottery!" Lottery night! Someone else wins... Jock prays again. "God, please let me win the lottery! Ah've lost my wee store, ma hoose and Ah'm going to lose ma car as weel!" Lottery night again! Still no luck... Jock prays again.
"Ah've lost ma business, ma hoose and ma car. Ma bairns
are starving. Ah dinna often ask Ye for help and Ah have
always been a good servant to Ye. PLEASE just let me win
the lottery this one time so Ah can get back on ma feet!"
Suddenly there is a blinding flash as the heavens open and
the voice of God Himself thunders:
"Jock at least meet Me half way and buy a ticket!"

stand and throw stones at someone just because he decided he wants to read the Bible instead of the Quran, even if he assured the Muslims that he does not want to fight them or harm them or anything like that.

Do you really think that Allah wants you to do this ? Allah is just and merciful, and this punishment is not just nor merciful.

p.s. plz don't post huge stories, just would you or would you not do that, and how do you justify this as being just ?

When push comes to shove which do you believe has more authority the Bible or your church/religious denomination? Which do you favor when/if a contradiction was to arise?

I already have my own belief concerning this question, so I am simply seeking what others think. I encourage Non-believers to put in their two cents by sharing what they think it should be or any thoughts they have concerning the question in general.

told and shown to us as children by those in Satan's service; that we are worthess, don't measure up, no good...and all the other negatives that keep us from becoming who God wants us to be. On an intellectual level we know, but, it is the heart level that needs repair. Mmm

i.e.
Answered prayers are proof of God's existence; but unanswered prayers can not be proof of the nonexistence of God...
People surviving horrible ordeals are proof of God's mercy; but the countless others that do not survive can not be proof God is not merciful...
etc.

Any believers find themselves doing this from time to time?

Evolution is a vital, well-supported, unifying principle of the biological sciences, and the scientific evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of the idea that all living things share a common ancestry. Although there are legitimate debates about the patterns and processes of evolution, there is no serious scientific doubt that evolution occurred or that natural selection is a major mechanism in its occurrence. It is scientifically inappropriate and pedagogically irresponsible for creationist pseudoscience, including but not limited to "intelligent design," to be introduced into the science curricula of our nation's public schools.
