There is nothing unfounded about Mormon doctrine as heresy. You have every right to practice your religion, whatever it is. Just don't call it Christian. You are right that the political concerns we all have are more important than religious disagreements. WE are not the ultimate judge of those issues.

>>There is nothing unfounded about Mormon doctrine as heresy.
When people here state incorrect, and or incomplete doctrine, and do not source their assertions with anything more than their own assertion; it is by definition unfounded.

>>You have every right to practice your religion
Why thank you, I believe that was already granted to me in the Constitution.

>>Just don't call it Christian
Why not? We believe in Jesus Christ and look to him as the sole author of our salvation. We hold positions on doctrine that were debated in the early church do a little research for me, there was a guy, named Hippolytus, grandson of John the beloved, considered a great theologian in his day, he wrote ten books. Some of which survive to this day entitled a refutation of all heresies. It was considered to be the standard of Christianity in it’s day, and was used until Constantine Hijacked Christianity for his won ends. They agree with me far more than with you on the correct interpretation of the scriptures. Your charges of Heresy are not going to be accepted by me. I will merely assume that you are ignorant. Go to the catholic encyclopedia http://www.newadvent.org and do some searches, Start with the council at nicea (the first one) remember that Constantine was a pagan, then look up the books of hippolytus, read them, educate yourself, then we’ll talk.

>>You are right that the political concerns we all have are more important than religious disagreements.

Well said.

Go with God, just don’t denigrate that which you do not know about, nor understand.

Mormons believe that God is a physical being.
They believe that he was once a man like us.
They believe that the true Gospel was lost and that the Book of Mormon fills in what was lost.
They believe that Satan and Jesus are coequal in substance.
They have an adoptionist Christology.
Their theology is Manichean, Pelagian, and Monophysist.
Their theology is non Trinitarian.
They believe in baptising the dead and that Mormons achieve a higher level in Heaven.
Wany more?

These things have been written both in the Book of Mormon and by their theologians. Many Mormons don't even know what they believe.
