Every point you make is exactly why LDS is as mainstream as any other part of the fractured Christian Religion. All one has to do is look at the number of strip mall churches that have splintered off on a preacher’s power trip. Look at the size of the “non-denominational” empires shouting that they are the true salvation. Yep, all those warts and the fact that the church is still there after over a hundred years make it mainstream. Not my personal choice, but mainstream none the less.

Before you start, I said Religion, not Faith. There is a marked difference.

Huh? In my life I have never heard a non denominational Christian church say they are the “true salvation”. Everyone has said Jesus is Salvation.
Really because mormonism has been around for 100+ years makes it mainstream.....so witches, satanists, Druids .... have as well, hardly mainstream.
mormonism is anti-Christian, it needs to be exposed.

That last statement sounds like pure relativistic post-modernism...(I hope you didn't pay for that campus worldview)

Ya know, there's a HUGE diff 'tween someone claiming they offer (vs. are themselves) the "true salvation"

You might have a lot of non-denom churches pronouncing the former
-- that they OFFER true salvation...
...and are NOT the lone church on the face of the earth offering such salvation...
-- but it was Mitt Romney's father's cousin -- Marion Romney -- one of THE top three Lds hierarchists in the Lds church in the 60s...who claimed the latter. Don't believe me? Here, look:

"This Church is the ensign on the mountain spoken of by the Old Testament prophets. It is the way, the truth, and the life" (Conference Report, April, 1961, p. 119)]

(Marion Romney even substituted the Mormon church in place of Jesus Christ, who claimed -- per the Bible (John 14:6) to be the only way...!!!)

Also...per Lds "Doctrine & Covenants" 1:30...it's the Mormons who claim to be the "only true and living church on the face of the earth."

There...I cited an "address" for that...Can you cite EVEN ONE "strip mall church" that claims to be the "only true and living church on the face of the earth?"

I won't hold my breath for you to back up your straw man claim...and me -- not belonging to any "strip mall church" -- has nothing to gain by defending them!
