“If the Mormon religion is true then none of the other religions are true. Would you consider that an accurate summation of what you were trying to say in such an obtuse fashion?”
That is only part of what I am saying.
If Mormonism is the True religion, then it must predate (traditional) Christianity. Therefore, Mormons should be claiming to be Mormons and the rest of us failed Mormons. Instead they claim to be part of the Christian brotherhood (in order to be accepted). In other words, it is a lie to claim to be part of an abomination (Christianity) while simultaneously claiming to precede and supersede this abomination.
But on this type of subterfuge does the Mormon Church rely.
Cha Ching!
You can tell me the truth ^_^ Are you really Yoda?k

Wouldn't any true religion predate Christianity? Are you stating that God didn't exist prior to being born 2000 years ago? Hmm, I think you are right ^_^

That doesn't make any sense. Why would Mormons consider a Taoist or a Muslim to be a failed Mormon? Or do you think that everyone was a Mormon originally? That would actually bolster Mormon claims then, wouldn't it?
In other words, it is a lie to claim to be part of an abomination (Christianity) while simultaneously claiming to precede and supersede this abomination.
I guess if you think that Christianity didn't exist prior to the Birth of Christ, 2000 years ago, you would be correct. If most Christians agree with the Mormons that Christ predates the existence of the earth then you would be wrong.
What is your definition of Christ's existence prior to his Birth?
