The actual name of our Church is the ‘Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints,’ and are often referred to as ‘Mormons.’ We do not believe in a planet ‘Klobb.’ We worship the namesake of our religion: Christ. If we worshipped some other being, his or her or its name would be in the title of the name of our Church. We believe that Christ was resurrected and that with His resurrected body, He lives somewhere, but where, I doubt anyone knows. We are called Mormons because of an additional set of scriptures we use called ‘The Book of Mormon.’ To us, this book is a collection of the Lord’s instructions to the ancient peoples of the Americas, and which is a second testament, a second witness of the reality and mission of Christ. We believe this book to be written by descendants of Joseph, who was sold into Egypt, the son of Jacob (called Israel). We believe these descendants traveled to the Americas, that they fled Jerusalem at the time of King Zedekiah. We believe in the Bible as long as it is translated correctly, and we use the King James version, believing it to be the most correct of the translations. It is not hard for Mormons to believe that many other scriptures were recorded by peoples all over the earth at various times in history. My Jesuit Priest law professor at Gonzaga University told me that Catholics also believe in the existence of scriptures other than the books and letters of scripture contained in the Bible, such as The Dead Sea Scrolls. We believe this because the Tribes of Israel were scattered to the four corners of the earth, and each was part of ‘The Chosen People’ of Israel. Consequently, if the Israelites, or their descendants, can be found throughout the world, certainly the Lord would communicate with each Tribe to give them the Word of the Lord, or scriptures, in order to give them instructions on how to achieve eternal happiness and also how to be able to live peaceably with others on this earth, for the Lord is not a respecter of nationalities. We believe we can be saved by the Grace of God, after all we can do. So, after we put our best efforts into life to help others, to learn and to develop qualities that will be beneficial throughout the eternities, the Lord makes up for our deficiencies with the Atonement to save us from our sins.

The immediately previous message is wrong; very, very wrong. But kind of funny nonetheless.
