Best Answer

Seagulls are not endangered. They are protected because they are the state bird of Utah, not because they are going extinct.

The Mormons did not kill them, they welcomed them! The legend says that the Mormon's crops were being eaten by crickets, but the seagulls came and ate all the crickets, allowing the Mormons to grow food and survive through the winter. This story has become known as "The Miracle of the Seagulls" and is the reason why the seagull is ironically the state bird of landlocked Utah, which is nearly a thousand miles from the nearest ocean.

Do Mormons believe they will be gods and Does Brooke White believe she will be one of the God-wives?

I don't know who Brooke White is but Mormons believe they can become gods, IF they do certain ceremonies in the temple and keep the vows they make there. Not all Mormons believe they will become gods, because not all Mormons go to the temple and do the ceremonies they believe are required. They do not believe they will become gods but they do believe they will be able to become more like Jesus and god.

Why were the people persecuting the mormens?

People are naturally hostile against those who appear 'different' from themselves. Mormons are persecuted by people who believe that they are too different to be accepted into society. Historically, the worst persecution was in the 1830's and 1840's, when Mormons were forced from their homes four times - in New York, Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois. Often this was because the local residents were afraid that Mormons would become the majority and sway local politics. Also many people did not like that Mormonism was not a traditional Christian religion. Today, persecution against Mormons is mostly done by those who misunderstand the teachings of the church or by those who disagree with the conservative standards of Mormons.

Why do the Mormons say they are God's chosen people?

Actually, this isn't really a belief of the Mormon people. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that God loves all people equally. They also believe that each person should be given a chance to hear and accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and all people are welcome to become Mormons if they choose to. Mormons are not taught that they are better or more favored than anyone else. Most Mormons would say that they believe they are the people of God, but they do not believe that God 'chose' them over anyone else. Mormons believe that an individual chooses God, and by following Him they become His people.

What is the Mormons motivation?

Motivation for what? Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are motivated to do many things and for many reasons. Some that I could think of are: Mormons are motivated to serve others and the Church. This is because they are striving to become like Jesus Christ, who spent his life serving those he came in contact with. Mormons are motivated to prepare for disasters. This is because they believe in taking care of themselves and because they believe in the Biblical prophesies of calamaties, natural disasters, wars, etc as a signal of Christ's Second Coming. Mormons are motivated to share their faith with others. This is because they believe that they are to futher the work of God on earth, to bring others to Jesus Christ, and to make sure that all people have had an opportunity for salvation. Mormons are motivated to have large families with strong values. This is because they believe that the family is the fundamental unit of society - strong families build strong communities.
