. You may be free to disagree with them about how they receive Christ as their Savior, but your rabid attacks will not be pleasing to God, nor will you be successful in getting them to see God as you do.

I think you are a little confused here. Mormons don't receive Christ as their savior. I understand why you are confused, because this is something you don't really learn as an outsider to the Mormon church (milk before meat).

Their Jesus is not the Jesus of the Nicene creed. They teach that God was a created being, we as created beings can be like God, and that God the Father had intercourse with one of his heavenly wires and conceived Jesus.

Jesus is really emphasized mostly to trick Christians their missionaries talk to. According to the Mormon gospel Jesus came to earth and failed (Christianity immediately fell into Apostasy when he died. Now Joseph Smith on the other hand...)

As a Catholic maybe you are used to signing hymns praising the Lord... well, you may want to enjoy perusing a LDS Hymn "Praise to the Man" (i.e. Joseph Smith). http://www.lds.org/music/library/hymns/praise-to-the-man?lang=eng

Praise to the Man!
 
 
 
Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah!
Jesus annointed that Prophet and Seer.
Blessed to open the last dispensation,
Kings shall extol him, and nations revere.

Chorus
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.

Praise to his mem'ry, he died as a martyr;
Honored and blest be his ever great name!
Long shall his blood, which was shed by assasins,
Plead unto heav'n while the earth lauds his fame.

Chorus
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.


Great is his glory and endless his priesthood.
Ever and ever the keys he will hold.
Faithful and true he will enter his kingdom,
Crowned in the midst of the prophets of old.

Chorus
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.


Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven;
Earth must atone for the blood of that man.
Wake up the world for the conflict of justice.
Millions shall know 'Brother Joseph' again.

Chorus
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.
