Arguing religion is like beating your head up against the wall. Eventually you may knock a hole through the wall, but at what expense? If you have a belief in God, I am happy for you. If you haven’t noticed, the country was built on a belief in a supreme being, but not one particular religion. Mormons worship using their God given freedom as it appears that you do. Putting forth this hatred isn’t Christ like nor is it doing anything except making a few disgruntled people feel better about themselves. Time for “Christians” to listen to the words of Christ. Too many hypocrits in the churches today. No one is taking the time to follow the Lord. They are too busy beating up other religions at the cost of disproving their faith. May God bless you in your worthy endeavors.

It appears that the "freedom of speech for me but not for thee" folks are all heated up about opposition again to false religion.

In my opinion, enclosing the word "Christian" in quotes and then bemoaning "hypocrits in the churches" does little to advance the Christian cause .

One who accuses others of "putting forth this hatred" appears to me to show a judgemental bent...which isn't Christ-like.

Hello, ‘n00b’. Strawmen your schtick?

Actually the big problem is n00b's who can't spell.

No one is taking the time to follow the Lord.

The Lord told us to beware of wolves in sheep's clothing and false prophets who would come in his name. Are you willing to follow him and identify the false prophets and warn the sheep?

We've TRIED to convince the LDS Organization® members in these threads, but they tend not to listen.

  17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!
  18 My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.
  19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”
  20 He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself lying on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, mother inquired what the matter was. I replied, “Never mind, all is well—I am well enough off.” I then said to my mother,
“I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.”
