Their religion was different from mine but there never was any doubt but that we bowed to the same Lord and Savior.

ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT??? The LDS “Lord and Savior”...
...Jesus had to earn his Godhood by coming to earth, getting a body and becoming Perfect. His Godhood is his reward for living a good life.
...Jesus is a created being (a “spirit child of God and one of his wives called Heavenly Mother)
...Jesus is our “older brother”, Satan was the second “spirit child”, Jesus was first and the rest of us followed.
...Jesus is the LITERAL son of God, and that God (who has a body of flesh and bone, had sexual relations with Mary to concieve Jesus making Mary one of his wives).
...the Atonement of Christ only “kicks in” AFTER we do everything we can to make up our “mis-steps”. This includes membership in the Mormon Church (the ONLY true Church), mandatory tithe, temple attendance, church attendance and callings (some equivelant to full time jobs), 2 yr mission (if at all possible) to convert others not humanitarian, and so on (the list can go on forever).
...the Atonement took place in the Garden of Gethsemane
...Christ’s death was only necessary because he had to die so he could be resurrected, thus guaranteeing resurrection for everyone. His death becomes a footnote in their theology.
...thru temple work for the dead, we act as “saviors” for our dead ancestors who were not married, as well as other and that we will need the permission of Joseph Smith to get into Heaven.
...Christ was married, and probably a polygamist.
I can provide quotes if you would like.
Every religion has its own exclusivity and its own doctrinal beliefs.
They also suffer their own apostates.
I am much more comfortable in a congregation of Mormons than I am in a congregation of demented old bats.
