Are they not started by Mormons? Many of the Catholic and Anglican threads are started by Catholics and Anglicans.
I recall some thread called “They shoot Mormons don’t they?”
I would object to claims that a person who is a Mormon is not a Christian, because only God can know who is one of his own, and just as one can belong to a true Christian church but not be a Christian, I believe the opposite can be true as well.
As to the general claim, I think we get too sensitive when others claim our religion is false, because it seems so obvious to me that that must be what most people think. After all, if everybody thought the PCA church had the best adherance to biblical principles, we would ALL join the PCA church. Since we do not, there must be Christians out their who disagree with my assessment.
Those who I know personally who are Mormon are clear that they do not believe I am practicing the appropriate faith — and they do not like me less because I make the same claim to them. We are respectful, but religion is rather tepid if it is one which doesn’t assert it’s superiority.
I have only a little respect for religions which teach that all religions are equally good. Why would I ever believe such a thing — according to that philosophy, I might was well choose a religion that thinks they are the only way, since then I’m saved if EITHER group is right.
Of course, as a Presbyterian, I believe I’m saved no matter WHAT group is right or what church I’m going to :-)
You're not bashing Muslims, are you?
If so, I'm going to have to start posting threads that clearly outline their beliefs. ;-)
I used to live in SE Missouri. Trust me, there was plenty of Mormon bashing around. I was one of 2 Mormons in our school. It wasn’t easy.
Nope. Not everyone believes in Christianity.

>>Of course, as a Presbyterian, I believe Im saved no matter WHAT group is right or what church Im going to<<
Atta Boy!!!
Wow!
You could get a job at FAIRLDS!
I go to a church with a lady that lived in Bountiful Utah for a few years during her childhood.
She wasn’t Mormon and she had no friends. She said they were so mean to her. She does not like Mormons to this day.
Whoever is the minority gets treated like crap.
That’s why I stay out of the religion forums. It’s a public forum, and people are going to use lots of false logic and flat-out tricks to win their arguments. Others will argue forcefully, accurately, and with respect and civility — but you have to wade through the first for the second.
I don’t think your approach to the “problem” is a good one. Your intent will not be acheived, and you are likely to sour people who up until now have been willing to defend your religion against extraneous attacks in non-religious forums.
What does that say about the REST of the times?
Do you have any other hobbies?
There was a tendency to smear all of Willard’s opponents as anti-Mormon, regardless of evidence or reality.
>>”I sometimes read LDS Caucus posts and find inspiration.”
What does that say about the REST of the times?<<
Ah-hem. It means that sometimes she reads them and sometimes she doesn’t. She’s Catholic and doesn’t go to all of them.
Now do you understand?
You need to hang out at some LDS chat rooms!
OFFICIALLY they are taught NEVER to criticize leadership; even if it is WRONG!
Wow, have you ever been to one of these parties before?
There you go again!
