Is the God of mormonism really Zeus, the Greek father God? I did a search on the web and there were some fascinating similarities.

• >The God of Mormonism is the same God worshiped by all Churches<
  .
  So you're telling us that ALL Churches worship a God who is:
  .
  1) An exalted man who was resurrected into deity by obeying the God of his home planet?
  .
  2) One of Many Gods in the cosmos.
  .
  3) Begotten Sexually, by God the Father of his home planet.
  .
  4) Married with Children.
  .
  5) Requires Godliness before Justification.
  .
  6) Offers Full Salvation Only on Conditions
  .
  .
  Uh . . . Whew? That's a BIG huge, "No!" on this one.

• My friend, Satan is not the only one seeking a "One World Government". Jesus has declared that when he comes the 2nd time every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that he is the Christ. And that he will rule the world for 1000 years. Now I wonder who thought of this first, Jesus or Satan? And which side are you on?...Later

• Myths, archetypes, whatever. But what if they are not. The Bible says there many Gods and many Lords but only one Christ.

• Joseph Smith wore a talisman around his neck because it was a gift from a friend. Nothing more, nothing less, it meant no more to him whatsoever...Later

• Greetings to you through your tiny little port hole in the "Mormon Tank"!
  
  >Joseph Smith wore a talisman around his neck because it was a gift from a friend. Nothing more, nothing less, it meant no more to him whatsoever<
  
  Evidence? Proof? Substantiation?
  
  Here's what the historical record - the external evidence outside the Mormon Tank - tells us:
  
  "A possible occult mentor to the young Smith has also been identified--a physician named Dr. Luman Walter. Walter was a distant cousin of Smith's future wife and a member of the circle associated with Smith's early treasure quests. By contemporary reports he was not only a physician, but a magician and mesmerist who had traveled extensively in Europe to obtain "profound learning"--probably including knowledge of alchemy, Paracelcian medicine, and hermetic lore. Other pieces of evidence added to the picture. Three very curious parchments and a dagger owned by Joseph Smith's brother, Hyrum, have been careful preserved by his descendants as sacred relics, handed down from eldest son to eldest son after his death. Family tradition maintained they were religious objects somehow used by Hyrum and Joseph. When finally allowed scrutiny by individuals outside the family, it was recognized they were the implements of a ceremonial magician.
  
  The dagger bears the sigil of Mars. The three parchments, each apparently intended for a different magical operation, are inscribed with a variety of magic symbols and sigils. Another heirloom also fell into perspective: a "silver medallion" owned by Joseph Smith and carried on his person at the time of his murder in Carthage jail, was identified to be a talisman. It is inscribed front and back with the magic square and sigil of Jupiter, the astrological force associated with the year of Joseph Smith's birth. All of these items could have been constructed using the standard texts of ceremonial magic available in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century: Agrippa's Occult Philosophy, Sibly's Occult Sciences, and Barrett's The Magus."

  So that "friend" was most likely Joseph Smith's occult mentor Luman Walters.
  
  But wait, there's more! One must ask, "Why does one wear a Jupiter talisman? What it is supposed to do?" Here's the answer:
  
  Agrippa says of the table of Jupiter, that,
  
  "...if it be impressed upon a Silver plate with Jupiter being powerfull, and ruling, it conduceth to gain, and riches, favor, and love, peace, and concord, and to appease enemies, to confirm honors, dignities, and counsels..."
  Three Books of Occult Philosophy Bk II, ch. 22.
  
  What an amazing coincidence! The suggested powers of a Jupiter Talisman match Joseph Smith's stated desires and personal history!
  
  So if you look at the evidence from OUTSIDE the Mormon Tank it leads to a far different conclusion than the spin doctored, half-truths that LdS Apologists concoct: Smith was a practitioner of occult folk magic in the name of God.
  
  Still not convinced Whew? Here you go: http://www.concernedchristians.com/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=42&func=view&id=82008&catid=522
  
  BTW, here's a tip . . . I'll get real close to the porthole in the Mormon Tank so you can hear me loud and clear - oh and I'll yell too:
  
  NEXT TIME YOU MIGHT WANT TO TRY USING THE PROVIDED LINKS AND EXAMINING THE AVAILABLE EVIDENCE BEFORE YOU GO INTO A DOGMA SPEW THAT HAS NO BASIS IN REALITY. THAT WAY YOU DON'T LOOK SO FOOLISH WHEN YOU REGURGITATE THE SPIN DOCTORED HALF-TRUTHS AND OUTRIGHT LIES THAT YOU GET FROM CES AND LDS APOLOGISTS.
  
  THANK YOU! HAVE A NICE DAY HUDDLED DOWN DEEP INSIDE THE MORMON TANK NOW! MAYBE IF YOU EVER COME OUT YOU CAN ENGAGE IN INTELLIGENT AND REASONED DISCUSSION RATHER THAN ENDLESSLY DOGMA SPEWING - SOMETHING TO CONSIDER AND/OR THINK ABOUT OK?
  
  LATER!
