    Originally called 'The Church of Christ'
    Headquartered in Utah

    Believe that non Mormons can worship God in their own way
    Believe that Jesus is coming back to Earth and will live in the United States (cool!)

Why they might be annoying:

    Three words: 'Donnie and Marie.'
    They preached plural marriages, but claim they don't any more.
    Blacks were not allowed to be priests until June 6, 1978.
    Joseph Smith saw a vision of God and Jesus together telling him that there is no correct religion, so he should start another one.
    Smith had another heavenly visitation, in which the angel, Moroni, told him of a sacred history written by ancient Hebrews in America (1823).
    This history was engraved in an Egyptian dialect on tablets of gold and buried in a nearby hill.
    It was the history of the ancient peoples of America, and he would be the instrument to bring this knowledge to the world.
    He obtained those gold plates from the angel (1827).
    He was able to translate them into English using the spirit of God and the sacred instrument accompanying the plates called the 'Urim and Thummim.'
    The translation was published as The Book of Mormon (1830).
    It took God only seven days (one for resting) to create everything, but it took God, Smith and the tools three months to translate these plates.
    Non-believers say the Gold Plates were a hoax, planted by a couple of farmers.
    Although they called The Book of Mormon the true word of God, they made many changes to remove contradictions and various grammatical errors. (God sometimes gets goofy).
    They are a cult.
    The LDS church practices baptism for the dead, and did so to save Hitler and Jews (Jewish groups asked the Mormons not to do that anymore and they promised not to).
    If a wedding is not performed in their temple, the couple can't reach the highest tier in heaven.
    Today, members of the church are excommunicated for being polygamous.
    According to the Book of Mormon, they are devout Jews observing the Law of Moses.
    In the Book of Mormon, there is almost no trace of their observance of Mosaic law or even an accurate knowledge of it.
    Julie, the Mormon, from MTV's 'Real World' was kicked out of Brigham Young University for living in the same house as unwed boys.
    In 1995 they promised to stop posthumously proxy baptizing Jews and they reaffirmed this promise after 20,000 Jews were found in their database, in December of 2002.
    However the Associated Press reported the Mormons continued posthumously baptize Jewish Holocaust victims nine years after promising not to (April 9, 2004).
    Rabbi Marvin Hier of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles said 'It's ridiculous for people to pretend they have the key to heaven. And even if they say they want to do somebody a favor ... it's not a symbol of love. It's a symbol of arrogance.'

Why they might not be annoying:

    As we all know from South Park, the correct religion is the Mormons.
    They are clean cut and dress neat.
    They do not drink alcohol.
    They are against caffeine.
    They practice strong family values.
    They formed the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
