Mormons believe that all these conditions make mormonism "the one and only true church in the world."

"We do not join associations of clergy or councils of churches. We keep our distance from the ecumenical movements. The restored gospel is the means by which Christians must ultimately be united."

How many Mormons will admit that they believe this stuff?

Faith in a peaceful god is a good thing, even if wrong, half right, confused, or just plain old goofy.

There are other solicitors out there of great evil intention.

There should be a special forum for bigots.

When Mormans fly planes into buildings, then I will worry about what they believe

Talk about pride!

Just what do you think you can give/do to the ONE that created all?

All we have is breath for a short while, and even that is on loan to us.

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!

I am not Mormon but why do you care what they believe?

If you really want to see bazaar beliefs look at the Muslim religion.

Mormons are not bombing and killing people that do not believe their way.

One could argue that a number of religions have strange practices.

As a Catholic, I take issues with these practices and beliefs in my Church.

1) Compulsory clerical celibacy-—Nothing in the Bible mandating such a draconian policy, in fact priests and bishops in the Bible were married men.

2) The belief that Mary herself was conceived of an immaculate conception, even though no mention of this in the Bible.

3) Belieft that Mary was ALWAYS a virgin even though Jesus’s brothers and sisters are mentioned in the Bible.

4) The idea that the Pope is “infallible” is patently laughable. Popes, like the rest of us mere mortals, are sinners and do make mistakes from time to time.

I suppose we could find faults with all religions including our own from time to time.

Mormons believe their god requires women to not wear outer clothing that covers their crotch (pants) to worship their god in a large and spacious room (chapel).

Wow. Never heard that one before. What's the reasoning behind it?

I looked into Mormonism, and could not personally buy into their beliefs (the list you provide could be made longer).

But I do love me some Mormons for being good neighbors, good citizens, and encouraging strong families. And Marie Osmond - I’ve long had a crush on her.

Why single out Mormonism for your bash-fest? There are a lot of religions that believe some pretty strange things. If Mormons are so misguided, God will be their judge. I daresay He doesn’t need any help from you.

We are facing Murderous Islamic nonsense, and you are getting upset about a religion which I am not a part of, but in 2014 is composed of mostly decent honorable people (Harry Reid excluded)

Yes, Mormons have some strange beliefs. I could never be one. That being said, most of them are patriotic, moral, decent, and clean....and a lot of them vote conservative.
Oh, and here’s a big one, they aren’t advocating the destruction of Israel, driving Christians from Iraq, kidnapping girls in Nigeria, beheading infidels, practising female genital mutilation, prenatal holocaust, or advocating open borders....the list goes on.

So, let them be. Prusuade them of the truth of the historic Christian faith with gentleness and sound arguments, if you must, but mocking them like this does no good.

I’ll add to that - your post is disgusting, ill-mannered and - well, words not fit for FR best describe it.

Have y’all stopped preaching in garages and handling snakes yet ?

I’m not at all down with it but, I’ll say one good thing about the Mormon undies. It cured me of all impure thoughts I had of those cute Mormon missionaries that come to my door.

Mormons believe that a little torn piece of bread and a small sip of water that has been chanted over and then swallowed will require their god to forgive them for their sins.

Um, not just Mormons.

As for the rest, most religions have had ideas about ritual purity and purification.

And most of those ideas sound strange to outsiders.

"We do not join associations of clergy or councils of churches. We keep our distance from the ecumenical movements.

Would it really make you so happy if they threw in with the NCC and WCC?

There is a bizarre pre-occupation with Mormonism for some here at FR. Often it even rivals their hatred of Catholics. (And that’s no small task.)

So odd, all things considered.

Hey Greyfoxx39, I believe all religions, other than the Roman Catholic Church are false. But that being said, I have a strong suspicion that your post is motivated but it sounds to me like Karl Rove is hearing the footsteps of that Mormon Mitt Romney again.

One thing for sure, your post has absolutely nothing to do with religion.
