THE bizarre beliefs of Mormon founder Joseph Smith are that people lived on the moon for nearly 1,000 years and that they also dressed like Quakers.

And another Mormon claim is that great portions of the earth were torn apart and carried away into space, taking along with them the ten lost tribes of Israel.

As these are false teachings, this is why they are not Christian.
