Yeh, I was changing the subject, my question is why you guys need to run down the church all the time. What drives the need? I dont agree with your church either but you dont see me on here posting how wrong every one else is.

No problem, I’ll see if I can just filter out the “run down the LDS faith” category, so I can just get the news. I just wonder why some folks like to constantly attack their allies.

Perhaps it's because while you may share my politics, you worship a false deity.

Pointing that out is pointing out a fact, not an attack.

Dear Michael Knight,

“What drives the need?”

The “need” is merely a response to the LDS insistence that the LDS worship the same God as Christians (and Jews) worship.

“I just wonder why some folks like to constantly attack their allies.”

Most of us around here gladly acknowledge members of the LDS as our allies. But we do not recognize members of the LDS as generally sharing our religion, even broadly defined. From a Catholic perspective at least (I won’t endeavor to speak for non-Catholic Christians), the LDS “God” is ontologically further from the God Whom we worship than Allah.

Threads like this are a way of countering the LDS insistence that the LDS "God" is the same as the God Whom we worship.

Michael,

I would say that it is the LDS that have brought it upon themselves. Was it not Moroni who told JS that all denominations and creeds are an abomination?

Also, those polite young men who come to my door are NEVER satisfied when I tell them I am already a commited believer and faithfully attend a Southern Baptist church.

So, please cut the poor little me act. The Church of LDS is is radically different from Christianity and it’s laughable when Mormons like you pretend otherwise—and pretend like they don’t try to convert Christians.
