“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.

As a serious response, we need to guard against the idea that there is a common God that all the religions worship.
By definition, Allah is NOT Yahweh.
By definition, the Cosmos is NOT Yahweh.
By definition, the Mormon god is NOT Yahweh.
Well, it doesnt do a lot to make members of our church feel welcome here is my point. I still believe in the conservative movement even if I disagree with some things I may see on the site, but if I was on the fence I wouldnt come back. Of course, there are only over 12 million members world wide, so its not like a big group of people or anything.
