The evening will feature the teachings, legends, dance, music and traditions of the "white god," known as Quetzcoatl, says The belief parallels the LDS story, told in the Book of Mormon, that Jesus Christ visited the Americas.
"Almost all pre-Columbians believed in a white god," Pingree says. "He was good and he came to teach them how to love each other." :lftl:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quetzalcoatl
The Aztec turned him into a symbol of dying and resurrection and a patron of priests. [1] When the Aztecs adopted the culture of the Toltecs, they made twin gods of Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl, opposite and equal; Quetzalcoatl was also called White Tezcatlipoca, to contrast him to the black Tezcatlipoca. Together, they created the world; Tezcatlipoca lost his foot in that process. Because white was the color symbol of Quezalcoatl, it does not mean Quezalcoatl was white. Of all people the revisionist Mormons should realize that white doesn't necessarily mean white skin!! :rant:
