"God still expects one to make an attempt to recognize bad theology."

Christ did not challenge us to become theologians. He challenges us to be childlike, not scholarly or legalistic in our approach to God; He gave us the Beatitudes. If you live up to these you will be rewarded in the next life whether you pray in Rome, Salt Lake City, or a tent out by the interstate.

In my life I have witnessed the spirit of the Beatitudes more often from Mormons as I have "Orthodox" Christians.

He gave us the Beatitudes

Yes, and He also gave us a lot more than that.

Battle against idols, false gods, and false beliefs is a major theme running throughout the Bible.

Christ did not challenge us

Us? Do not presume to speak for all. God's challenge to become better-versed in theology has been issued to many throughout the ages.
