A lot of American institutions banned blacks until fairly recently. Blacks weren't allowed in white churches of most all Christian denominations!
There are details of Mormonism are just as far-fetched, if not farther-fetched, than traditional Christianity. They add a new prophet- Joseph Smith. Mormons seem to be fairly peaceful, however. They don't seem to have a history of murdering other people. But, that Joseph Smith story is pretty wacky.
One thing about Mormonism that makes some sense to me is; You always hear God referred to as "He." Well, in Mormonism, that's absolute truth. God IS a MALE for them! Not figuratively, but literally. When I say it "makes sense", I mean, using the term "He" to refer to God is only necessary if you believe God to be a male. I never refer to God with any gender-specific reference. It's been pretty awesome because, now, for me, "God" is so much more than it was when I was restricted to western religious liturgy and terminology.
By the way; If you asked a Pharisee, or Sadducee in Judea in the time of Christ, Jesus was also a false prophet. For all I know, there are still a great many Jews that view Jesus as a false prophet. It doesn't matter to me what they think. But, I offered it to you as an example of how other religions don't view Christ like you do. Are they "wrong?"
