I call, ‘fake.’ Everyone knows Mormons aren’t Christians.
The great Christian writer, C.S. Lewis - I’m sure you’ve read all his work- has a scene very much like this in his novel, ”That Hideous Strength”. What makes the scene effective is that Mark, the man being told to stomp on the picture of Christ, is not a believer. Yet he refuses to do it, and it is a turning point for him and for the novel.
One of the points that Lewis makes via the story, is that if you believe in Christ, then of course you won’t do it - and if you don’t believe, if Jesus was nothing, then why is the other person so intent on this symbolic degredation? Why bother?
What prevents the non-believing Mark from following orders is that he feels a twinge of human compassion for Jesus as ”a poor chap” who, if he had been at all real, had suffered enough. And that was why Mark, who up until this point in the book has been the worst sort of toady and sellout, cannot bring himself to stomp on the picture.
So it really doesn’t matter if the person who refuses to commit an obscene gesture is a Christian or a Hindu or an atheist. What matters is that they reject the obsenity.
Does this need a {sarc tag?
LOT's of people have been fooled into assuming that those who adhere to MORMONism's teachings are Christian.
Just because the NAME of the religious organization is The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints.
