It's definitely occult. When I was in SLC, I went and saw their "convention center." If you are non-mormon, you aren't allowed in the church, which is what I really wanted to see. In the convention center, I learned a bit about their philosophy. The story of Joseph Smith and how he found the golden plates is wack, but it's interesting how they claimed after Jesus was crucified, the people living in South America got the gospel from Jesus before he rises to heaven. Then some huge battle ensues. Of all the major sects of christianity, mormons are by far the most inclusive and "rational," in terms of how they believe in Heaven and Hell. In many christian sects, if you don't believe or heard of the teachings of Jesus, you go to hell. In mormonism, if you haven't heard of Jesus you go into basically limbo until you submit to the teachings of jesus, then you go to heaven.

Wacky religion, but the mormons I came across are compassionate, good people. A lot of them are just too high on Jesus.
