I had these kids come to my door telling me a story of their guy they look up to finding these golden texts from south america he dug out of the ground and then translated into english and then i was excited cuz i was like wow you have the golden texts in this wierd language somewhere!? And at that point they were like well no an angel came and took them away. Yah how convenient. Ill try that next time a cop asks for my license and insurance. Also, if I was going to be a really religious dude and spend a freaking year or whatever peddling my butt around the country preaching it would be for a religion thats older than a couple hundred years. If youre a mormon you really need to take a look at what you believe in.

The Mormons believe we all lived in Heaven with Heavenly Father, several Heavenly Mothers, and 20 Billion Heavenly Siblings before we were born here on Earth. Then there was a war. The good guys won and were born White. The bad guys lost and became demons. Those who were neutral or did not fight bravely were born with non-white skin. The bravest of the brave were born to Mormon families.
We all know that Romney must have been a "Valliant Warrior" in the "War in Heaven" during the "Pre-Existence". How else could he have been born "White and Delightsome" to an LDS family here on Earth? Heck, he was probably one of the Commanding Generals . Now , America needs a President with valuable military experience like that to get us through our war in Iraq. Could you please ask "The One and Only True Prophet", Gordon Hinkley, to please release those valuable records to the public? We need to know what battles he fought in. How many medals he won. How many of the "Less Valliant Soldiers" he recommended being born with black skin when they got their chance to be born on Earth. Was Al Sharpton one of THEM ? How about Jesse Jackson? Mormons, this is your chance to show the world the light of the everlasting gospel. Dont miss out. We have General Romney running for president of the USA and we need you badly right now!

Like that is any less weird than believing that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you metaphorically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a woman created from a rib from a man made of dust was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree. Right.

"Crap" may be a harsh definition, and one to surely fill the righteous with muy indignacion as evidenced by the Aloha Spirit (now I have to rename by dinghy). A better term might be "extraordinarily implausible", and while it takes more keystrokes, you've issued an open-ended yet definitive opinion, and you sound smarter, too.
Yet, "Crap" as an expletive for a disappointing result might be appropriate if, after praying for the spirit to fill your empty bosom with truth and light, does not occur. Or the other more common colloquialism that Yahoo forbids, but that would be a personal preference.
Perhaps the church itself is not ready to accept your criticism yet to completely embrace you as a member, so your revelation is a boon to both parties.

Yes, among others. All branches of christianity are in need of a heavy dose of Jewish teaching about the god of Abraham and what it takes to be THE Messiah, as well as what the Messiah was supposed to do while alive on earth.

And your the same as the other flamers. Get a life. If you're so opposed to Mormonism, find something positive with which to fill your life. Focusing on something you view as negative will just increase your stress and frustration.

The answer to your question is, YES I do think Mormon religion is a bunch of crap.
I would like to add that I think all religion is crap, worshipping god(s) is crap. It's all crap. Miracles - crap. Talking to god and having him/her/it talk back - crap. It's all about power struggles, it has nothing to do with what they get people to "believe in" and "have faith in". Centuries of lies.
Crap, crap, crap, and more crap.
Crappity-crap-crap.

The Mormon stories are no more or less credible than any other scriptural text.

tim. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (The "Mormon" Church) is the restoration of the original, primitive Church that Christ had set up in the meridian of time. Our religion wasn't born in America in the 1800's. Our religion is God's religion. It is eternal. It is nothing less than the very divine Plan of Salvation authored by God, our Eternal Father, and centered in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
