- Mormon is a term used to describe the adherents, practitioners, followers or constituents of Mormonism. The term most often refers to a member of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), which is commonly called the Mormon Church. The LDS Church believes that "Mormon" should properly be applied only to its members. However, the term is often used more broadly to describe any individual or group that believes in the Book of Mormon, including other Latter Day Saint groups. According to the Book of Mormon, Mormon is the name of the prophet who compiled the book of scripture known as the Book of Mormon.
- Morons Mormons are a religious group that includes unsuccessful Republican Presidential candidate, Mitt Romney. This somewhat odd religious group was started by Joseph Smith, who they believe to be a prophet though more than one of his prophecies failed, below is an example.

- Mormon (pronounced /ˈmɔrmən/) is the narrator and namesake of the Book of Mormon. The book portrays him as a prophet-historian and a member of a tribe of indigenous Americans known as the Nephites. According to the academic consensus, excluding most Latter Day Saint scholars, the Book of Mormon is a work of fiction and therefore Mormon is a fictional character. Mormon writes that at age fifteen he was visited by Jesus Christ. At age fifteen (or "in his sixteenth year"), Mormon became the leader of the Nephite armies, and fought against the Lamanites in many battles thereafter.
- The term "Mormon" refers to a follower of the Mormon Christian religion. It gained controversy in the 19th and 20th century because of its polygamy nature.

Young agreed to be replaced by a non-Mormon governor, although the Church still wielded most of the power in the territory. The issue of polygamy once again raised its head throughout the late 1870s and 1880s, until the U.S. government seized the assets of the Church and disincorporated it. In response, the Church officially suspended polygamy. Relations improved dramatically from then on. Utah was admitted as a state in 1896. Throughout the 20th Century, the Church made successful efforts to expand beyond the U.S., becoming a worldwide organization.

- Morons Mormons are a religious group that includes former Republican Presidential hopeful, Mitt Romney. This somewhat odd religious group was started by Joseph Smith, who they believe to be a prophet though more than one of his prophecies failed, below is an example. Joseph looked into the hat in which he placed the stone, and received a revelation that some of the brethren should go to Toronto, Canada, and that they would sell the copyright of the Book of Mormon. Hiram Page and Oliver Cowdery went to Toronto on this mission, but they failed entirely to sell the copyright, returning without any money. They are also known as latter day saints. They are sincere in believing this fallacy and proclaim it regularly during their church services. In addition to the Bible, Mormons hold the book of Moroni to be a sacred text. This is odd seeing as the bible explicitly proclaims that only the bible is the "true" religious text. This means Mormons have most likely not read either book. Each new "revelation" is recorded in the Doctrine & Covenants book and becomes automatically part of the Mormon canon.

- Mormon (pronounced /ˈmɔrmən/) is the narrator and namesake of the Book of Mormon. The book portrays him as a prophet-historian and a member of a tribe of indigenous Americans known as the Nephites. According to the academic consensus, excluding most Latter Day Saint scholars, the Book of Mormon is a work of fiction and therefore Mormon is a fictional character. Latter Day Saints, on the other hand, generally view the Book of Mormon as an actual history, and therefore view Mormon as a real person. According to the book, Mormon engraved an abridgement of his people's history on golden plates, which were later ostensibly translated by Joseph Smith, Jr., founder of the Latter Day Saint movement. Based on the chronology of the book, the Saints believe that Mormon lived during the 4th century AD. As a narrator in the text, Mormon presents himself as a redactor. He quotes and paraphrases other writers, collects and includes whole texts by other authors, contributes running commentary (with and without identifying himself), and also writes his own narratives. He writes about the process of making the book, both in terms of editing and redacting and also in terms of engraving the words on metal plates. He alludes to content that is left out of the book, and refers to a larger collection of records at his disposal. The Book of Mormon states that Mormon was instructed by the prophet Ammaron where to find the records that had been passed down from their ancestors. It also claims that Mormon later abridged the near-millennium-long history of his ancestors, a more ancient people, and additional revelations into the Book of Mormon. Divisions of the book relating to Mormon's personal history are the Words of Mormon and the first seven chapters of the larger book. The book says that Mormon eventually passed all of the records on to his son Moroni. According to Mormon's record in the Book of Mormon,[1] he was born in about A.D. 311 and was named after his father. At about the age of ten, he was visited by Ammaron and given instructions on where to find the sacred engravings of the Nephite prophets and on what to engrave upon them. At the age of eleven, Mormon was taken to the land of Zarahemla by his father. Mormon writes that at age fifteen he was visited by Jesus Christ. At age fifteen (or "in his sixteenth year"), Mormon became the leader of the Nephite armies, and fought against the Lamanites in many battles thereafter. Mormon went to the hill (called Shim) at about the age of 24, as instructed by Ammaron, to take and abridge the Nephite records. In A.D. 362, Mormon writes that he "utterly refuse[d]...to be a commander and a leader" to the Nephites "because of their wickedness and abomination." However, about thirteen years later, Mormon decided to return as commander of the Nephite armies as they were being badly beaten by the Lamanites. Upon returning, Mormon again led them in battle against the Lamanites until the entire destruction of the Nephite nation, which took place as a result of a huge battle fought between the two groups in 385. The prophet Moroni, Mormon's son to whom he delivered the Golden Plates, records that Mormon was killed by the Lamanites (presumably in A.D. 385 or shortly thereafter). As the last prophet and keeper of the record, Moroni is said to have become the angel or messenger who revealed the location of the Golden Plates to Joseph Smith in 1823.
- Mormon is a nickname for a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The name actually refers to a prophet who lived in ancient America and who played a vital role in recording the scriptural history of his time, revealed in our day. More specifically,Mormon was a prophet, military leader, and record keeper in the Book of Mormon. He lived between the years A.D. 311-385. The reason the Book of Mormon has his name in the title, is because Mormon was the divinely-designated person who took all the records of his people and combined and abridged them into a smaller, more readable, record. The purpose of Mormon’s abridgment was not to give a full account of his people, but to help turn people to God. Mormon illustrates the contrast of outcomes between those who follow the Lord, his prophets, and his words, and those who reject the same. He emphasizes that those who follow God are blessed while those who turn away from Him suffer. In The Words of Mormon, a small book written by Mormon, he further explains his purposes and the reasons why he is making an abridgement of the records of his people (see Words of Mormon 1: 1-11) Mormon knew he was writing for the benefit of the people of our day. In several instances, he speaks to us as if he were writing a personal letter to a future generation. (See [1] Mormon 3:16-22.)
