Mormons believe that only white people go to Heaven, because they're "pure" and therefore perfect

of all the freaky shit i've heard about this religion, i did NOT know that

*off to share the info with my bff whose daughter-in-law, and therefore grandson, recently decided they are mormons*

If you haven't heard it before, it's because it's not true.

I've been attending the LDS church for 26 years; you'd think if this were something we believe, somebody would've mentioned it to me before.

true or not, it wouldn't even make the top of the list as to why i find the whole religion distasteful

How about this for your list?

It's been known for a while

It wasn't until the mid eighties that the Mormon church had to rescind the rule. You had a lot of Mormons in the West Indies trying to convert people of colour saying that they'd serve whites whilst in heaven. :/

It's not so much that they believed that black people wouldn't go to heaven, but that they would go to heaven as a servant and have to be reborn...or something.

Petersen said, "If that negro is faithful all his days, he can and will enter the Celestial Kingdom. He will go there as a servant, but he will get celestial glory."

They believed that the black skin was a mark of sin from god and that's why blacks were slaves and servants and weren't allowed the priesthood until 1978.

OH WELL THAT'S OK THEN




...i'm lying

I find this really interesting because my grandmother is southern Baptist and she used to spew a bunch of shit about how God didn't like black people, so that's why he made them black with a "mark of sin" or something. I always wondered where she got that, because I don't -think- it's in the Bible anywhere. Just goes to show that people are prone to use religion to back up whatever fucked up, ridiculous beliefs they have.

Dark skin was interpreted to be the "mark of Cain." So anyone not lily-white was clearly descended from Cain, kin-murderer. Racism (or really any type of bigotry)+the Bible=Holy shit.

Pun intended or not I laughed.

I've been told that they also believe that, if they repent, they become white.

not sure how accurate this is since i heard it on /r/atheism
