Fact...Mormonism

A religion founded by a cop-killer might attract some crackpots, but not me.
Joseph Smith who founded the mormons carried a gun and was killed in a shootout with the police, but not before killing two of them because they wanted to arrest him for (among other things) having at least 35 wives.
The rest of the Mormons fled to Salt Lake City, led by Brigham Young (who had at least 55 wives).
I often wonder whether Smith used to drum up new members for the mormons by firing shots into peoples front gardens, then wave his gun in their faces when they came out and say to them "I know what you're thinking punk, did he fire all six or has he got one left.. now sign up on the dotted line and make my day.."
Incidentally he was a dead ringer for Elvis, i bet his wives found his pelvis irresistible..

Also how do you measure fastest growing? If you measure it in % increase and you're quite small to start off with then it's not that hard to get really large % increases, in terms of absoloute numbers the bigger religions obviously have an advantage there
 
My brother became a Mormon several years ago and he and I have debated the faith quite a bit. I think Joseph Smith was a shyster of the highest order. He basically took three rocks (magic rocks, mind you), put them in a hat, then stuck his face in the hat, and had the Mormon religion revealed to him. A load of bunk if you ask me. The Mormons do however, have the largest genealogical database in the world that anyone can access. Every Mormon church has a family research center that is open to the public. From there you can access the huge data base at the main Temple in Salt Lake City. I'm surely not interested in converting to their faith, but I have found their genealogical records quite helpful.
 
I think the mormons have a Anti-Trinitarian theology. Most mainstream christians consider them a cult.
 
I've got one wife and I am thinking of starting a religion...

The church of Holy, Holy Hell....
