Mormons consider themselves to be Christians. I have read the book of Mormon (parts) and it's...not my cup of tea, shall we say. I obviously have strong theological disagreements with Mormons, and understand why many consider them a cult. They accept texts outside of the Bible as Holy Scripture, and of course, some of their beliefs are outside of my willingness to accept. There is also a clannishness to them, which could also be said of Jehovah's Witnesses.

In terms of conduct, Mormons have expectations of members of their faith that I have no desire to follow (no coffee or cokes would be tough on me, and I have seen nothing which indicates to me that they're sinful). I have never seen Mormons try to force their beliefs on others, except by persuasion. Do I think a Mormon can go to heaven? They profess Jesus Christ as Savior, and although I disagree with much of what they believe, I'm fairly certain I have errors in my understanding of faith, also. That means it's God's decision, not mine.

Would I vote for a Mormon? Possibly, if I thought he would make a good President. There are some devout Christians I know that are good as gold, but don't have the sense God gave a goose. Are they Christian? Yep? Are they Presidential material? Nope.

LOL! The send armies of young suits to bang on every door and proffer that book of theirs.

They do not!

They think they can attain the same rank as Christ: Man becomes God.

Blasphemy!
