“I’ve seen some incredibly polite backstabbings and lies from Mormons over the years.”
So it’s ok to generalize about Mormons because of the actions of a few bad ones. I’m a Mormon, and I take great offense at your generalization. I don’t stab my fellow employees in the back. I’ve tried to live an honest, clean life, and I feel like you’re the one stabbing me in the back with this anti-mormon rubbish.
It is a generalization, so if I've unfairly painted you I apologize. But it is more than a few.
Practically all Mormons that show up at my door start off trying to tell me that they are "Christian too", but the first thing you learn about Mormons is that Joseph Smith had a vision where the alleged Angel Moroni told him all the existing Christian denominations were "abominations". They intentionally use Christian terminology but without explaining that they mean something significantly different by the same terminology.
Excuse me for being blunt, but your faith is founded on a very twisted version of the truth. And if you didn't accept the Mormon claim that existing scripture was full of error and omisions you would see Mormonism for the deception that it is.
It wasn't even always polite. It had a very violent beginning and it's founder's actions resembled Jeff's in more ways than one.
Research sometime into all the changes that have been made in Mormon scripture over time to try to make it less objectionable to Christians.
