No, we believe in the Godhead. But we're in pretty good company. No one believed in the Trinity prior to 325 A.D. None of the Apostles ever spoke of a three-in-one God, or of an indivisible substance that filled the universe. They spoke of a divine Father, a divine Son, and a divine Holy Ghost -- just as we Mormons do.

That kind of clears it up. I was always under the impression that polygamy was much more widely practiced by Mormons than apparently it is. Not that I have any problem with polygamy because I think adults should have the right to any living situation they desire.

The human desire to be special and the ONLY ones who matter is a strong incentive to division and separation of humanity . . . it is a pathetic and evil desire.
