We live in a country that is free of religious strife.

(Despite the likes of Joseph Smith accusing all Christians of being "corrupt" in his "first vision" -- which a later generation of Mormons decided was "scripture"...this same "vision" pronounced 100% of the Christian creeds as an "abomination"...All...just read Joseph Smith - History - vv. 18-19 in the Mormon Pearl of Great Price...)

Tell us, 1010, do you as a restorationist embrace vv. 18-19 of this First Vision? Are 100% of our Christian creeds an "abomination" as Smith pronounced based upon an unnamed entity's word?

Let's not exaggerate. LDS doctrine is very specific about the purpose, intention and way of mortal life. God's goal for us is to ‘to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man’.

Lesson 1: “This Is My Work and My Glory”

That's how it is taught and viewed. So any deviation from that path would be an abomination in the eyes of God. That's the correct meaning and interpretation. Just as the anti-Mormons see the LDS as an 'abomination' of their version of Christianity. See here:

Lying lips are abomination to the LORD but they that deal truly are his delight

or here:

Abomination NT Greek as in:

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet stand in the holy place whoso readeth let him understand
