You said -- "I don't know how old you are, but I may have been through confirmation class ( in which I was a straight A student and the head of the class ), in the Methodist church long ago. That class was almost an entire year long and we went through the complete history of Judaism, Catholicism, and every single Protestant sect. The final exam was a killer and I easily received an A+ on it, being told that my essay was brilliant. We also had many an oral exams, extensive memorizations to do and be quizzed on, and I excelled at all of them; remembering still, just about every single thing I learned in those classes, to this very day."
Well, congratulations, then. I'm glad you know that the Mormon church teaches non-Christian doctrine and that they are a cult, then.
No more needs to be said -- as long as you know that (and, of course, the others who are reading this).
We seem to finally be narrowing down on the issue of the Mormons being a non-Christian cult and coming to a consensus on the matter.
And that's all the point was -- that people were clear on the fact that Mormonism is a non-Christian cult -- although they may be *very religious* (I'll give them that). They're just not "Christian" in the baisc and historic tradition and teachings of the Christian church at large.

Wanna play with this some more, do you?
I don't believe all Christians believe Mormonism to be a cult. Not Christian is one thing...a cult another entirely.
There are definatly cults WITHIN the Mormon beliefs...offshoots. I have somewhat of a personal experience with one of them. Living near Kirtland, Ohio (holy Mormon ground) draws them like flies to honey.
Does any of this really matter? No. We have the freedom to worship our toenail clippings if we choose. That's the American way!
