I asked a Mormon missionary today, "Do you think there are any Quakers on Mars?" He just didn't know either way. I wondered since Joseph Smith said there were people on the moon who looked like Quakers. Yet Neil Armstrong found it a barren, airless, uninhabitable wasteland. Mormonism's founder declared, "The inhabitants of the moon are more of a uniform size than the inhabitants of the earth, being about 6 feet in height. " They dress very much like the Quaker style and are quite general in style, or fashion of dress. "They live to be very old; coming generally, near a thousand years. "This is the description of them as given by Joseph the seer, and he could 'See' whatever he asked the father in the name of Jesus to see," (Journal of Oliver B. Huntington, Vol. 3, p. 166; as recorded at the Utah State Historical Society).

"See" - whatever? As I suggested to the lad, Joseph Smith was really just a false prophet. A Christian knowing what Smith taught asked Armstrong, " Did you see any Quakers up there?" No, the astronauts returned with rocks but no Quakers! So why build any space stations if people up there are just waiting for us?

Brigham Young University's namesake exposed the cult further when he mocked: "So it is with regard to the inhabitants of the sun. Do you think it is inhabited? I rather think it is. Do you think there is any life there? No question of it; it was not made in vain." (Journal of Discourses, 1880, 13:271). Well so much for these religious heroes and founding LDS "prophets"! Test them - it's easy! Wrong about heavenly bodies, who can trust cultists for the way to Heaven?
