>> Different denominations of Christianity are just that – different denominations – which means different worship practices of the same fundamental Christian beliefs.

I’m not particularly worried about Romney’s religion (there are other reasons he’s not my choice) ... but Mormonism is not simply “another denomination” of Christianity like Baptist, Methodist, Episcopal or Catholic.

There are deep and fundamental differences between Protestant or Catholic Christianity and Mormonism. It isn’t for me to say whether the differences are “deal breakers” (salvationally speaking) - but simply stating that Mormonism is a denomination of Christianity is a distortion of the facts.

Perhaps easier to think that Christianity is to Judaism as Mormonism is to Christianity. . .if only ‘perhaps’. It is related.

Would someone please give me a “rock solid” definition of Christianity so we can decide whether someone is Christian or not.
Are Unitarians Christian? Are the fundamentalist snake handlers from Tennessee Christian? Are the Adventists Christian? Are the Quakers? Of course people have different interpretations. But what is the essential that makes them Christian?

Judge not....what was the rest of that?

The conceit that goes along with religion amazes me...the I’m right and you’re wrong mentality. Keep your religion in your heart and work for good.....and let the others do the same.

There was a time (and still is in parts of Ireland) where Protestants didn't consider Catholics to be acceptable Christians, and visa versa.

In fact, the whole Reformation quest in Europe in the Mid-1400s or there-abouts centered around deeply held beliefs among many Christians that anyone who didn't strictly follow the Catholic doctrine was suitable only for death, or worst.
