Because they consider weak, ignorant, nominal Christians to be "Golden Contacts" to prey on as converts, which wins them lots of points toward godhood.

But aren't you doing the same type of thing? What do you get out bashing another's religion and arguing the same points over and over again? Do you get extra brownie points in your spiritual growth if you turn someone away from the "evil Mormon church"?

I wonder this mostly about the group up the street from me who call themselves Concerned Christians, too. Their only reason for being is to say, "Mormons are wrong". They bother people at the Easter pageant with signs that say Mormons are not Christian, yet their brand of Christianity feels ugly and hateful. What do they get out of it?

I can see a discussion that says, "Here is what I believe." (which is why I complimented the Catholic who has been on these threads (I suck at names). But, bashing someone over and over the head again saying, "Your beliefs are wrong and evil" reminds me too much of guys who yell vulgar things at girls from out their car window, then wonder why they can't get a girlfriend.

Since you have no concern for the eternal destiny of anyone, there is no reason to discuss it with you.

By the way, I have no interest in your postmodern liberal spirituality either. Heard it more than I care to at the moment already.

[But, bashing someone over and over the head again saying, “Your beliefs are wrong and evil”]

It would certainly be out of place - if those weird doctrines weren’t the faith of a presidential candidate. Otherwise you might as well elect Tom Cruise, cause he’s just as good looking as Romney, some of his views are conservative, and the fact that he is driven to bizarre behavior by his religion should be of no concern.
