Also skin color and other hardship issues (which was used thru 1976 to justify the LDS position on disallowing African-Americans from holding the Melchizedek priesthood. Since AAs had asked to be born that way to learn to overcome more obstacles in life, then it was perfectly OK to discriminate against them).

Oh, that's right. And Mormons also believe that the Garden of Eden was in Missouri.

and that Adam is our God. From wiki: Adam–God doctrine[edit]

Main article: Adam–God doctrine
Several early leaders of the church taught that Adam was a god because he was the first of the human race. This doctrine was taught several times by Brigham Young during general conferences[62][63][64] and was supported by other high-ranking leaders of the church.[65][66][67] However, the Adam–God doctrine never gained wide support by the church as a whole and was not taught as canon by Brigham Young. Some members and critics of the church claimed that Young was declaring Adam to be God the Father. This specific interpretation was later repudiated by church president Spencer W. Kimball.[68]

How beautiful! Enjoy your blessings. My mom is one of the best gifts God gave me.
