Also in regards to calling Mormonism a cult, well I can't really disagree. Look up the definition for it. Basically a cult refers to a devout group of people following a charismatic leader. That could refer to anything from a group following Jesus Christ to a group following Jim Jones.

You forgot to mention that the main founder (Smith) and his 2nd (Young) were also polygamists. A little bit of the follow the leader mentality going on - That, probably more than anything scripture based.
