Does belief in Mormon theology breed Psychopaths? Is the Mormon church a "Sociopath/Psychopath Machine"?
I'm starting to believe that it does; Consider this:
If young parents are taught and come to truly believe that they will not be able to be with their own children (or with their own parents) in the hereafter unless there is strict obedience to a specific set of beliefs it can obviously create an environment so dogmatic and obsessive in enforcing these beliefs (word of wisdom, church attendance, paying tithing, the "Law of Chastity", only dating and marrying within the faith, societal pressure, temple attendance, church "callings", etc.) that it could force young minds to fracture in an attempt to protect its individualism.
It certainly trains them to become amazingly adept at telling lies and "acting" as a means of survival. Combine that with a good education, attractiveness, blue eyes and you've got a young adult who has learned how much easier it is to get what they want through deception than by equitable, fair exchange. Any lie that conflicts with natural law (i.e. gravity) will ultimately cause pain to the individual who accepts it as truth. It seems to me that "By their fruits you shall know them" is applicable here.
Combine these above beliefs with the belief that the purpose of our existence is a "test" -- and that this test is nothing but a millisecond of time in comparison to "all time and eternity" -- well that can put an awful lot of pressure on people. If you get this one short test wrong --- you pay the price in the "terrestrial" Kingdom for all time and eternity. However, the more "worthy" members of the family can come down to visit you from the "Celestial Kingdom" -- but you can't go "up". You failed the "millisecond long" test. You were blinded by the craftiness of men. It's like being visited in the County Jail.
Men become as the God they worship; Check this out: "If you are touched with the light of Christ you will have no desire to raise your hand in violence ever again. You would rather have your enemy cut you in two while you stand before them. But wait, see that drunk bastard laying in the street over there? Go cut his head off. We need some brass plates inside his house. It's better we ice this dude right now than have a whole nation of God's chosen people go without our book and 'dwindle in unbelief.'"
And what's up with Korihor? Exactly what did he do again? Take a close look at ALMA in the story of Korihor. That's the Mafia as far as I'm concerned. Did the Chief Judge really just threaten to hurt innocent bystanders in case Alma doesn't quite "feel" the power of God yet (as if he needs a little more convincing or "torturing")? Or was it Korihor's family being threatened? Why did the miracle Korihor asked for take place in such a way that the story had to be told only "according to the words of Alma" afterwards? Did Alma Just Cut Korihor's tongue out?
Did you notice the "proclamation" sent out after Korihor was trampled to death in the street warning everyone they they would end up the same way should they dare believe in Korihor's absurdities? Why did the author spend so much time making sure that we (the readers) knew that there was no law governing a man's beliefs and that no man could be punished for what he believed?

Hinkley into granting Hoffman and his business partners a $500k line of credit to secure additional "relative" documents to “The "Salamander Letter" which depicted Joseph Smith as a practitioner of folk magic, and related a very different account of how he obtained the Gold Plates. In 1985 Hoffman planted two bombs killing Steven Christensen and Kathy Sheets and was then injured while transporting a third bomb. Pled guilty to lesser charges to avoid death penalty and sentenced to life in prison. Hofmann took the church and then Prophets, Spencer W. Kimball and Gordon B.

Warren Jeffs -- (FLDS) Mormon “prophet”, pedophile, rapist, polygamist, racist, convicted felon serving 20 years, two of Jeffs' children, a son and a daughter, have publicly claimed that they were sexually abused by him. In 2007, Washington County Attorney's Office released video of jailhouse conversations between Jeffs and his brother, Nephi. In the videos, Jeffs renounces his prophethood, claiming that God had told him that if he revealed that he was not the rightful prophet, and was a "wicked man", he would still gain a place in the telestial kingdom. Jeffs also admits to what he calls "immoral actions with a sister and a daughter" when he was 20 years old. In July 2004, Jeffs' nephew, Brent Jeffs, filed a lawsuit against him alleging that in the late 1980s his uncle sodomized him in the Salt Lake Valley compound then owned by the FLDS Church. Brent Jeffs said he was five or six years old at the time, and that Jeffs' brothers, also named in the lawsuit, watched and participated in the abuse. Two of Jeffs' other nephews also made similar abuse claims against him. One of the alleged victims, Clayne Jeffs, committed suicide with a firearm after accusing Jeffs of sexually assaulting him as a child. Records also show that while incarcerated, Jeffs tried to commit suicide by banging his head against the walls and trying to hang himself. "The black race is the people through which the devil has always been able to bring evil unto the earth." "[Cain was] cursed with a black skin and he is the father of the Negro people. He has great power, can appear and disappear. He is used by the devil, as a mortal man, to do great evils." "Today you can see a black man with a white woman, et cetera.

And he was also the friend of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, and he was faithful to them, and to his covenants, and he has gone to Heaven and apostates go to Hell… Porter Rockwell was yesterday afternoon ushered into Heaven clothed with immortality and eternal life, and crowned with all glory which belongs to a departed saint. He has his little faults but Porter’s life on earth, taken altogether, was one worthy of example, and reflected honor upon the church. Through all his trials he had never once forgotten his obligations to his brethren and his God."

But I know I had been caught in a megalomaniacal fantasy.”
