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."
During the Christmas season all you can feel in your heart is to post hate and division rather than love and compassion which was the heart of Christ's teachings? You might think twice about pre-judging who the true Christians are if bigotry and hatred are what governs your view of other religions.
With all the evil and barbarity in the world, believers of all Christian faiths should band together to combat the forces that are attacking our children and our once commonly held set of moral beliefs, not combatting people of faith regardless of their differences.
