Number one....I don't buy into your blanket statement "it's bashing".

Number two...like it or not..I believe you are incorrect. There are a large number of Christians that hold fast to their opinions on Mormonism.

I believe that to be widespread......Is that somewhat anecdotally speaking on my part. Yes, I suppose it is. But I would also doubt anyone could possibly place a number on it..

~”Number one....I don’t buy into your blanket statement “it’s bashing”.”~

Interesting you say that.

Imagine if I were to say the following:

“Calvinism is a cult! All the Calvinists have rejected the truth, have been deceived, definitely aren’t Christians according to the Bible, and are going to Hell. John Calvin was a liar and a fraud; he changed the rules of religion to lead people away from Christ. The whole lot are a bunch of cultists.”

Of course, I would never say these things, because I don’t believe them, and it would just be crass.

But if I did, would I not be accused of bashing?

Get your head out of the sand, Osage. Reexamine your double standards.

~”I believe that to be widespread......Is that somewhat anecdotally speaking on my part. Yes, I suppose it is.”~

That’s fine, you believe your anecdotal evidence; I’ll believe mine. Mine says the point of view we are discussing is a fringe element. It’s a good thing, too, because people who are so intolerant of alternative views are definitely not following the example of Christ.

Oh, but wait, I forgot. I believe in a different Christ. I must be following a different example.
