Seriously? I am going to cut you some slack as you are new around here.

I want to qualify my answer.

I don’t have Mormons or the Church of LDS. However, we have very serious doctrinal differences which, to a LDS missionary they are very aware of and can explain those differences quite well.

We are here to set the record straight.

They have spent 170 years railing against Christianity and of recent have oddly been attempting to co-opt Christianity. Not be a part of but outright co-opt it, excluding others from their belief system.

And Yes, religious bigotry is unAmerican but not speaking up for your faith is just about heretical in my view.

For starters I direct to my next post which was given to me by Elsie.

Thank you for the kind response. Surely, if doctrinal differences are at issue, then politely argue doctrine. If one is concerned about indoctrination of youth, then ALL religions are guilty.

Catholics have the apostles' creed taught at CCD. Protestants have "Yes Jesus Loves me" taught in Sunday School. I presume they do it because they believe they know the truth and want to share it with people they love.

Why are there these repeated posts attacking Mormons on FR? Aren't Mormons Americans? Do you doubt that they believe their doctrine? Do you believe the share their religious beliefs out of hate?

I can't believe that any educated Christian could believe that attacking someone is a way to bring them to Christ.
