I think somewhere in the single digits, like 6 or 4 or something. Somewhere around the intellect of a gnat.

I am Mormon. I find your question to be incredibly offensive. It also shows your ignorance and prejudices. I happen to have an IQ that ranks me above genius level. If you actually research it, many times Mormons in pre-dominantly non-Mormon schools graduate as valedictorian or in the top 10% of their class.
Why spew ignorance and hate? Is there really a purpose? DO you think that is what God would want you to do? The world has enough hate. Why add to it? I noticed someone put up a pagan site as their reference to what Mormons believe. WHY would you ask a pagan? Why not ask a Mormon?
We believe in three kingdoms in Heaven. All are great, but in order to obtain the highest kingdom, you must have been baptized by someone who had the authority to act in God's name. We do proxy baptisms for the dead in temples, where we are baptized for and in behalf od the dead. We believe that they are given the OPTION of accepting that baptism for them or not. It is still their choice.
If anyone has an actual question or desire to learn about my religion, ask away, or visit lds.org for more information. Get the info straight from the horse's mouth next time.

I'm a Mormon - a convert of ten years. My IQ is 142, I have an honours degree and I'm the author of two published novels and several articles. My husband to be is also a convert (formerly an atheist), has an IQ of 160, and scored the highest mark anywhere in the world in his accountancy exams.
Why? What IQ do you have to possess to be needlessly offensive about other people's deeply held beliefs?

I am going to venture the guess that you found out about the Mormons from a source other than the Mormons. Allow me to ask a rhetorical question in response to your own:
If you were interested in finding out what Baptists believe, would you ask a Moslem? An atheist? If you did, I would venture that you would be led to the same conclusion about them. Consider the following site as a simple example:
http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/jim_meritt/bible-contradictions.html
It is a common mistake to "find out" about religions from outside sources. The only reliable source of information for any religion is from that religion itself, no matter how well-intentioned the outside source appears to be.
You claim that someone with intelligence couldn't possibly believe this stuff. You can visit the following site for some counter-examples:
http://www.famousmormons.net
Note that this is not intended to endorse the "Mormon" (LDS) religion. It is simply to illustrate valid counter-examples to your claim, which will hopefully inspire you to seek information from more reliable sources. As this is a subject of which I am fairly familiar, I would be happy to discuss any specific questions with you.

Apparently you can be dead and still become a Mormon. Mormons went to Auschwitz, and, feeling sorry for all the misquided Jews who died there without the benefit of ever having become Christian, decided to baptize them all into the Mormon faith so that they could go to Heaven. True story!

Quite a bit higher than your IQ. Perhaps if you were to pray to God to open your mind then God might be inclined to make an exception in your case. I'll pray for you, brother.

Being deliberately disrespectful of others beliefs is exactly how the middle east became the paradise it is today.
Stop being a jerk.

the IQ requirement isn't fixed - just as long as it is in single figures
