“Our churches don’t have anything on top. No cross, no statue.”

Now that is a falsehood. The link I provided has a gold statue of the guy with the bugle. And in any event, the challenge still stands. Offer to put a cross up and see where it gets you.

The mormon disdain of the cross is well known. In the recent "push" by the LDS church to mainstream the religion as Christian, I'm awaiting a revelation instructing all members that the cross is now favored.

We will then see the cross adorn the plain steeple of ward chapels and a cross of silver attached to the roofs of temples, (gold being reserved for Moroni). Members could exchange their CTR rings for cross pendants.

Mitt Romney would make the announcement in January '08, in time for the primaries, in a joint appearance with Hinkley on "Larry King Live." Great crowds of mormons would wave white hankies in Temple Square in coordination with the announcement with the Tabernacle Choir providing a rendition of "The Old Rugged Cross" in the background.

Hosannas would be shouted by all the Christian leaders and the Rev. Jesse Jackson would hold a rally in Times Square for all the black mormons that were able to make the trip from faraway lands.

Mormon missionaries would have crosses attached to the light on the front of their bicycles and make the sign of the cross when greeting new prospects, and the sign of the cross would be made over the bread and water before the sacramental prayer.

Thus would the LDS church join with mainstream Christianity.

Again, there is a difference between Churches and Temples. Please stop calling us liars.
