This should be zotted. It's a substance-free, gratuitous insult to a religious group. It violates FR rules. Please zot it quickly.
My niece and her husband are Mormons. I certainly don't agree with Mormon theology, but they are good, solid fmaily people who do nobody any harm. Why do you feel the need to attack them?
As a Mormon I respect your right to believe what you will. Personnally, I find posts like your's (that is posts with little objective or intended merit other than to attack a person's beliefs) about any faith inconsistent with the teachings of the Savior. My faith is secure enough in the Savior that I'm willing to let him make the final judgement.

You're better off making sense when you post vanities and stop attacking honest people for their religious beliefs

The "cult" accusation gets thrown around a lot. Basically, if the accusers disagree with your doctrine, you are a cult.
One has every right to not believe in Mormonism. But why can't they not believe in Mormonism AND just leave it and its people alone? Reminds me of the persecution of the early Christians by the Pharisees and the Sanhedrin.
And when you consider that so much that's said against Mormons are outright lies and distortions of their real beliefs, you then have to question the motives of those who feel the need to lie in order to oppose a belief system and why it is they feel so threatened by it that they have to invent distortions out of whole cloth about what Mormons stand for. Frankly, much of the anti-Mormon stuff out there is about as accurate, substantive and truthful as a Michael Moore movie, which all seem to rely on the same tactics of fear and deceit to make whatever their point is.
We know a big part of this is the fact that Mitt Romney is likely going to run for president, so attacking his religion is apparently the means absence of any substance some conservatives are choosing to use in opposing his candidacy. I really had hoped America, and particularly Christianity, was more mature and enlightened than this.
Anyway, who are you to say who will and won't go to heaven? I daresay I see more said by way of condemnation against those who are judgmental and hateful than I see said against Mormons in the Bible. I certainly don't see anything that says "Only Southern Baptists go to heaven."
Let me guess, this murdering PASTOR below is "saved" in your warped religious viewpoint but Mormons living decent, clean, compassionate, generous and honest lives are all condemned to hell in your corrupted and mistaken view of the true meaning of faith and grace:

A former Hickman Community Church pastor has been arrested on a murder warrant linked to the death of an 85-year-old Hickman man in 2004. Doug Porter was detained by federal authorities Monday afternoon at a border checkpoint near San Diego while trying to return to the United States from Mexico.
Stanislaus County authorities said they believe Porter, 55, intended to kill Frank Craig in a pair of auto crashes two years apart in order to inherit Craig's reportedly multimillion-dollar trust. Craig died in the second crash in April 2004.
