Probably 50% of the articles posted regarding Mormons are posted by those that believe Mormons are not Christian....Yep.
Those post serve as a call to others that don't believe Mormons are Christians to join on the thread and post similar opinions......Nope....those posts are to present the arcane and false beliefs of mormonism to lurkers and FReepers who are non-lds and think "mormons are just like us".
I don't think I would call most of those post 'Mormon' propaganda. ...Wrong...most of these articles are taken directly word-for-word from mormon sources, and most of mine are taken directly from lds.org the official mormon website.

Most of my posts are from the Mormon Times, KSL.com, and the Church News -- all owned directly by the Lds church structure. Even when I post articles from places like the SL Trib, it's columns by people like Rbt Kirby (who is Lds) or other journalists (like Peggy Fletcher Stack) who are Lds-friendly. [Tho I recognize the Trib is not always friendly to Lds by Lds standards]
What I find interesting is that's is not enough for Lds-controlled media to have its own opinion & commentary dominate Utah...If we post their stuff & actually object to anything, or mention a contrary view, we get personally attacked. (Sticking to the issues in the articles is where the focus should be -- not dwelling on guessing motivations -- as if others were our personal holy spirit -- and not engaging in ad hominens, like some lds are known to do).
I realize your articles are taken word for word from Mormon sources.
That was not my contention.
The articles are posted from Mormon sources so that many who do not think Mormons are Christian can dispute them.
There are many who see Mormon sources that are posted and think they are all posted by Mormons trying to convert others.
I was answering the question about why so many Mormon articles. Some are posted by Mormons trying to convert. Some are posted by others so that the Mormon beliefs can be disputed.
Seemed a simple expaination to me.
