“I find it comforting that the bigotry against Mormons (and Catholics) is pretty isolated.”
I just wish there wasn’t so much bigotry against the Church of Fast Coyote. You see, I have my own planet (”it’s called “Earth”) and I am it’s God!
Thank God (that’s me) that no one is allowed to object to the religious beliefs of another person based on logical grounds, otherwise the Church of Fast Coyote would be in trouble. I have decided to run for president, please all vote for me (God) and don’t bring my religion into it.

So, who does the Church of FastCoyote worship? I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints worships Jesus Christ. Let’s accept, for a moment, that the LDS Church is just something that somebody made up. Does that make it any different than the rest of Protestantism, if it worships the same Lord?
Your argument is based on the flawed premise that our worship of Jesus Christ is in any way comparable to your proposed worship of FastCoyote. We DIDN’T just make Him up.
