If you'd like to discuss, we'll need to at least attempt to present each other's doctrine and dogma honestly.

If you'd prefer flame wars, I think there are others you can engage with.

[D-fendr]

Friends, this thread is heading toxic again.

This is not good for any of us.

If yopu have a question about Catholicism, state it plainly and I will be happy to answer. If you want a flame war, find a thread appropriate for your intellectual level.

What an astute comparison.

Shocking.

That is a fascinating comparison, GC. Thank you for posting it. Let those with ears to hear and eyes to see know the truth.

[P-Marlowe]

Very astute observations Gamecock! Clearly any claim that there is no similarity between the odd doctrines of the LDS and the odd doctrines of the Catholic Church breaks down when the facts are shown in clear light.

I find it odd that several Catholics have accused you of attempting to start a "flame war" by posting those comparisons, yet none of them have bothered to attempt any specific refutations of the comparisions. In that sense it seems they are the ones attempting to start a flame war by accusing you of attempting to start a flame war.

There's no need to play along. The comparisions are valid and speak for themselves. Thanks for posting them.

BTW you left out question 11:

11. Which of the following has a method whereby people on earth can effectuate the entrance into heaven by those who are currently dead?

A. Roman Catholicism (prayers and pennance)
B. Mormonism (baptism for the dead)
C. A and B

I'm sure there are more.

Thanks.
