The Mormon World

I have a friend who is a former member of the Church of LDS (Latter-Day Saints). A question regarding the faith led to a massive diatribe, which is much too long to post here. However, it is an interesting look for an ex-member into one of the stranger theological entities in US history. There is a lot of infomation, along with some comic relief and editorializing. Questions like the following are discussed:

-I recently read some of Brigham Young’s sermons ... How old were you before you finally said "I don’t think so"?

-What exactly does the book of Mormon preach that is not already in the bible? Aside from Jesus visiting the Indians?

-What happens to dissenters like your self, excommunication or worse?

The correspondence is posted in its entirety here. Happy reading.
