I was preparing this page, while watching the absurd and disgraceful Joseph Smith Worship party tonight, when I came across the inspired words of Deconstructor. Thanks Decon, for compiling all of these quotes in one place. They say everything that needs to be said on whether Joseph Smith is more important to Mormons than Jesus Christ. These quotes along with his boasting that he was greater than Jesus Christ, clear up the whole issue.
Yesterday, Hinckley spoke to the press about the erection of Joseph Smith...........'s monument......LOL!! I laughed my ass off as he paused just just long enough to leave us with "the erection of Joseph Smith." I was like, yeah, lets talk about Joseph Smith's erection, that topic seems appropriate for his 200th birthday, considering that he married between 33 and 60 women, 33 of which are documented pretty well, and 24 or so are right on the Mormon Church's Family History website.
I think it would be very appropriate for Hinckley and the Mormon Church to ERECT a gigantic, maybe like 100 feet tall, monument of Joseph Smith's penis, fully ERECT of course, since they love to talk about ERECTIONS so much. Then Hinckley can point at it and say, look everyone, the legacy of Joseph Smith, isn't it huge? Isn't it marvelous? Isn't it wonderful?
Anyway, here are the inspired words and quotes from Deconstructor, whose site link is in my links section. Go check it out if you haven't already!! It's and awesome site!!

According to the Mormon Church, Joseph Smith deserves all of the praise he's getting this time of year. After all, we cannot be saved without him...
"If we get our salvation, we shall have to pass by Joseph Smith; if we enter our glory, it will be through the authority he has received. We cannot get around him."
- 1988 Melchizedek Priesthood Study Guide, p. 142, Apostle George Q. Cannon quoted
"Our entire case as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints rests on the validity of this glorious First Vision. ... Nothing on which we base our doctrine, nothing we teach, nothing we live by is of greater importance than this initial declaration. I submit that if Joseph Smith talked with God the Father and His Beloved Son, then all else of which he spoke is true. This is the hinge on which turns the gate that leads to the path of salvation and eternal life."
- The Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley, Ensign Mag., Nov. 1998, pp.70-71
[There is] "no salvation without accepting Joseph Smith. If Joseph Smith was verily a prophet, and if he told the truth...no man can reject that testimony without incurring the most dreadful consequences, for he cannot enter the kingdom of God"
- The Prophet Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 1, p.190
"No man or woman in this dispensation will ever enter into the celestial kingdom of God without the consent of Joseph Smith...every man and woman must have the certificate of Joseph Smith, junior, as a passport to their entrance into the mansion where God and Christ are... [Joseph Smith] reigns there as supreme a being in his sphere, capacity, and calling, as God does in heaven. Many will exclaim—"Oh, that is very disagreeable! It is preposterous! We cannot bear the thought!" But it is true."
- The Prophet Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, vol. 7, p.289-91
"He that confesseth not that Jesus has come in the flesh and sent Joseph Smith with the fullness of the Gospel to this generation, is not of God, but is anti-christ"
- The Prophet Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, vol. 9, p.312
"I tell you, Joseph holds the keys, and none of us can get into the celestial kingdom without passing by him. We have not got rid of him, but he stands there as the sentinel, holding the keys of the kingdom of God; and there are many of them beside him. I tell you, if we get past those who have mingled with us, and know us best, and have a right to know us best, probably we can pass all other sentinels as far as it is necessary, or as far as we may desire. But I tell you, the pinch will be with those that have mingled with us, stood next to us, weighed our spirits, tried us, and proven us: there will be a pinch, in my view, to get past them. The others, perhaps, will say, If brother Joseph is satisfied with you, you may pass. If it is all right with him, it is all right with me. Then if Joseph shall say to a man, or if brother Brigham say to a man, I forgive you your sins, "Whosoever sins ye remit they are remitted unto them;" if you who have suffered and felt the weight of transgression—if you have generosity enough to forgive the sinner, I will forgive him: you cannot have more generosity than I have. I have given you power to forgive sins, and when the Lord gives a gift, he does not take it back again."
- The Apostle Orson Hyde, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 6, p.154-155
"It is to be feared that in course of a century, some gifted man like Paul, some splendid orator, who will be able by his eloquence to attract crowds of the thousands who are ever ready to hear, and be carried away by, the sounding brass and tinkling cymbal of sparkling oratory, may command a hearing, may succeed in breathing a new life into this modern Mahometanism, and make the name of the martyred Joseph ring as loud, and stir the souls of men as much, as the mighty name of Christ itself. Sharon, Palmyra, Manchester, Kirtland, Far West, Adam-ondi-Ahman, Ramus. Nauvoo, and the Carthage Jail, may become holy and venerable names, places of classic interest, in another age; like Jerusalem, the Garden of Gethsemane, the Mount of Olives, and Mount Calvary to the Christian, and Mecca and Medina to the Turk."
- The Prophet Brigham Young, History of the Church, Vol. 7, p.40-41
These and other teachings are why so many people say the Mormon Church is not Christian:

What are non-Mormons to make of how Mormons adore Joseph Smith at Christmas time?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey, it's Samuel again and well, they are to think that Mormons worshiping Joseph Smith, 2 days before Christmas, shows that they do indeed see him as more important than Jesus Christ. It's so obvious, wake up everyone. It's all about Joseph Smith, especially this year, as they have worshiped him over and over, shamelessly. Tonight, they began by singing, "We thank thee O God for a Prophet", but Hinckley sings, "We thank O God for ME, A Prophet To Defraud us in these latter days."
Then, everybody spoke about how wonderful Joseph was, as they threw in "Ode To Joseph" and "Praise To The Man" while showing, over and over, pictures of Joseph, his statues, his monument, just to prove that they don't actually worship him. Like Monson, said, we don't worship him, however......we actually do.(My words describing what the meaning was of the words that followed however.) After several on and off trips to the bathroom to vomit, it finally, mercifully ended, thank the Mormon God, I mean Joseph Smith, but same thing, right?
The Mormon Church is a complete embarrassment to any God and made it even clearer tonight, that they are indeed a cult, that is focused on and built 100% around their founder, their creator, their God, their Jesus, their man that they praise in song and word, the man they call a hero, 2nd only to Jesus Christ(their words, not Josephs) JOSEPH SMITH, THE ADULTERER, CHILD MOLESTER, CHILD RAPIST, LIAR, DEFRAUDER, THIEF, TREASURE HUNTER AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST DISGRACES THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER KNOWN.YEAH, THEY SURE HAVE A LOT TO BE PROUD OF DON'T THEY?!!PRAISE TO THE MAN, THE HERO AND MERRY SMITHMAS JOSEPH, MAY YOU ROT IN HELL FOR ALL ETERNITY!!Samuel the UtahniteLabels: Mormon, Mormon LDS Mormonism cult brainwashing indoctrination fraud lies liars criminals joseph smith pedophile child rape adultery Thomas Monson Henry Eyring crooks vile assholes TBM apologists prophet evil
