Give us a list of them...

You’re not a christian. why bother

There may be lurkers here that will be deceived by those ‘churchs’.

It’s your Christian duty to help them avoid the error; don’t you think?

It is not the churches but rather the heresies that are making the 19th famous for bad theology. The reason for this is that the churches the embraced the heresies of 19th century — died or are dying. That’s why Christianity has shrunk to a remnant in Europe.

But I understand you’re dead and you’re lonely for fellowship of corpses. So these are matters of indifference to you.

Jospeh Smith seemed to think otherewise...

  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.”
