    Well if you knew about the True Hebrews and the Israelites not the AFRICAN Israelites but the real Hebrews. They accept Christ as there lord and saviour and are not like the JEW-ISH people who practice the customs of the hebrews as a religion. Like the guys inhabiting Israel now.. They are not the original 12 tribes that "they say are lost" or extinct like the dinosaurs...lol Anyway. That is not uncommon.

    He isn't a boxer, but Max Kellerman has openly admitted he is.

    If you doubt the religion, why don't you try to follow their teachings. As the saying goes, "you will know the tree by its fruit". If the religion that you tried made your life miserable and full of hatred, then that is not a good religion. But what I do know is that a lot of people who were lost found inner peace after they became religious. So you cannot just say that religion is a crap when in fact you did not really try it yet.

    I'll tell you a few things I find particularly silly about Mormons and Mormonism:

    1. A belief in an ancient Hebrew civilization in America for which there is no archeological proof.

    2. Baptisms performed on behalf of the dead, to include Hitler, Eva Braun and formerly those Jews killed in the Holocaust.

    3. The fact that its founding father, Joseph Smith a former treasure digger, translated the Book of Mormon from golden plates written in "reformed Egyptian" using seer stones hidden in a hat.

    4. The fact that all of the witnesses to said golden plates were either Smith's relatives or later recanted in some way.

    5. The fact that an Egyptian scroll Smith purchased from a travelling exhibition and that was used to translate into the Book of Abraham, part of the Church canon, was later discovered and shown to resemble nothing of Smith's translation.

    6. Smith's grammar of the Egyptian language that he wrote while not knowing that the code had been recently cracked by the translation of the Rosetta Stone. Said grammar, of course, had no resemblance to a real Egyptian grammar and revealed the intellectual product of a charlatan.

    7. All of the secret Masonic handshakes and related bits lifted into the secret temple ceremony (the "Sure Sign of the Nail" and "Oh God hear the words of my mouth bits" are particularly silly).

    8. The King Follet Discourse and the planet Kolob where Heavenly Father supposedly lives (Man is as God was, etc.)

    9. The endemic racism that is part of the Mormon belief that all colored persons are not light skinned as a result of their bearing the Mark of Cain. A continuing belief in many of the older members that, despite changes in Church doctrine in the 70's designed to allow blacks to have the priesthood [i.e. to help recruiting for minority football players at Brigham Young University], non-whites who prove virtuous in this life will be "white and delightsome" in the next.

    The following bits are taken out of the Book of Mormon and are used to justify an endemic underpinning of racism amongst rank and file members:
    And he had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore cursing, because of their iniquity. For behold, they had hardened their hearts against him, that they had become like unto a flint; wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them." (see 2 Nephi 5:21)
    Having separated themselves from the people of God, the Lamanites had regressed into a state of ignorance and iniquity and, by doing so, had cursed themselves and their posterity. The black skin represented their spiritual blindness and constituted the mark of the curse (see 2 Nephi 30:6).
    10. A prohibition on polygamy in this life, but an unspoken belief that it is permissible in the next based on subsequent remarriages being sealed to successive marriages.

    11. The mythical underwear with all of the silly symbols sewn on the Masonic points of fellowship, etc. The fact that the magical symbols are cut out and burned when the underwear gets old.

    12. The huge welfare supported families that are endemic in Utah as a result eschewing birth control based out the belief that women have to grind out spirit children all the way to menopause.

    13. The silly belief that Christ was walking all around North America and ministering to the Jews that supposedly were flourishing in the States post resurrection.

    14. The numerous changes that have been made to the Book of Mormon since its supposed revelation. The revisions to history that have been made by the Mormons by editing their own early newspapers and journals of early settlers that have been felt by the current pary line to not be faith affirming.

    15. I could go on and on, but you get the picture . . .

    Mind you, Christianity and Islam are just as goofy in my mind, but Mormonism is more recently kooky, so it is easier to poke fun I suppose.

    Most likely Christian. He's always mentioning God in his fights.

    Actually most Spanish last names that END in Z mean "From the House of". For example, Rodriguez means "From the house of Rodrigo," Gonzalez means "From the house of Gonzalo", Dominguez means "From the house of Domingo", etc. From Old Spain.
