Any religion that teaches that Jesus was a created being, the brother of Satan, and that the members of that religion themselves will become gods who control their own universe someday is definitely not Christian no matter what’s in their “title” and can’t be compared with Catholicism, which isn’t a cult.

It always strikes me that the LDS general authorities and LDS grass roots can be so vigorous to distance themselves from fundamental LDS polygamists in the Southern part of Utah/No AZ--all over (a) polygamy; and (b) which prophet to follow...

...But Christians from historic traditions are supposed to look the other way when deeper and more significant differences are identified between us and LDS.

Yet another inconsistency that shows a lack of intellectual integrity.

That is a telling point. Any questioning of mormon theology, even when buttressed by sources from mormon literature and their own Book of Mormon is immediately attacked as "mormon bashing" or "anti-mormon". Smacks of the methods of the left.

I just don't think that casting the mormons as a "threatened minority" in today's climate is going to fly, there is a shortage of "authentic minorities" in the mormon church in this country. (Most of the minorities being converted to mormonism are in other countries.)
