Yeah, Bashing is wrong, it doesn't look like you're bashing members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day saints, but it does look like you're confused about some things. Allow me to clarify a bit:
1) Adultery is having sex outside of marriage, not in marriage.
2) We don't know how spirit children are physically created.
3) The practice of Polygamy in the church ended over a hundred years ago, any member found practicing it now is excommunicated (which is the harshest punishment the church can give), some people who have been excommunicated still try and call themselves members, but they are not.
It's okay, there are a lot of misconceptions about us floating around out there (you'll see a ton on this message board alone) If you want to learn more accurate into about us try the official church website www.lds.org.
Best Wishes

So the person who gave you that answer agrees with you it is wrong...but goes on bashing Mormons? Hmmm...interesting.
I'm not sure why God having a wife and making spirit babies classifies him as an adulterer in this person's mind...
I am Mormon, we do not teach or spread hate. We are taught to "love thy neighbor". If you don't agree with the religion, fine, but at least don't spread false information on what our beliefs are. Doesn't matter whether you believe Joseph Smith was a prophet or God has a wife or what, just please at least get our beliefs right. Thanks.

To disagree is acceptable, but to spread distorted teaching of someone's religion is not too honorable.
Believing in a God who is a parent, does not make God a sinner,nor an adulterer.
How did they get such a idea? That shows how much they understand what LDS is teaching.
And to Crispy ed, we do not have paster, and if you ask sincerely, you will get all the answers you wanted.

Yeah, I grew up in a small Mornom town and will concede it is pretty much just a huge cult in my opinion.
They're like any other religion: all other religions are wrong to them. Wow, a real shocker right?
The vast majority of practicing Mormons do NOT believe in or support polygamy. Also, there's no such thing as getting "facts" from a preacher, he's going to tell you what he wants you to hear for you "spiritual welfare", even if he does think it's true.
Reach for the facts son:

Get educated with some unbiased material and THEN make your own decisions and opinion. Knowledge is power, get strong.
High five!

This is what the Mormons believe about all other churches. This is right out of a book they believe to be is all ways equal to the Bible in authority. They call it the Pearl of Great Price.. The book is Joseph Smith 2...
18 My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.
19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”
I have seen wonderful loving people in my church and in hundreds of other Churches everywhere I go. They are giving, their leaders are outgoing and helpful. They are trusting Christ for salvation not pinning it on their own works (that would be self righteous). Their doctrines come direct from the Bible. Yet Christians according to Mormon teaching are an abomination... I'll point out their error every chance I get in hopes of saving some sweet truth seeking spirit from getting entangled in this LIE...Jim

Anyone can find out what "Mormons" believe by checking out their website:
http://www.mormon.org
There is no need to distort other's beliefs and perpetuate lies that have circulated for years.
The list of Mormon fundamental beliefs states: "We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may."
Check out the rest:

I just think that whoever makes statements about religions that are not their own should make sure that what they are saying is true and not a bunch of trash and pointless rumors.

Why did you change the persons answer? She was talking about Muslims, not Mormons.

I notice that you have deliberately mis-quoted Wolfy1's answer to your question.
