"White and Delightsome" isn't all that it's cracked up to be:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2153611/Shocking-photo-reveals-damage-sun-does-face.htmlOne of the biggest turn-offs about Mormonism for me was the wacky theological explanation for different human skin colours. When you think about it, it's about the same as the ancient Greek mythological story about how Phaeton stole the sun chariot from his father Helios and drove too close to the ground in Africa and blackened the skin of the Ethiopians. It's just another emotional crutch the church uses to make people think they are better off than they really are.
Having melanin in your skin isn't a "curse." It's there for a reason. If you are not living in the cloudy and cold climate of Northern Europe you need to protect yourself from the sun. The different races of man exist because humans adapted to various climatic conditions over long periods of time in different parts of the world.
