“These feelings, as you describe, grant you the ability
to ignore the facts, evidence and logical arguments that
prove that mormonism is totally fake.”
Well your opinion is that Mormonism is fake — a premise I reject and I hope at some time you will reconsider.
And even if you may not accept our doctrine, I’d hope that you understand that LDS are not your enemies— I’d imagine we actually have a lot in common. I’m sure like us, you cherish family, freedom, faith in God, and the values that Jesus taught.

“Well your opinion is that Mormonism is fake”
There is no equivalency between my belief that
mormonism is fake and your belief it is true.
I have MORE than an opinion. I look at the facts,
evidence, logical argumentation and make an informed
decision - a conviction - that not only is mormonism
FAKE, but it is IMPOSSIBLE for it to be true. That
is MORE than an opinion. It is backed by facts, logic
and evidence.
For example, God says in Deuteronomy that He is ONE
God - and there are no others. Mormonism claims,
falsely, that there are multiple gods.
Mormonism claims you can become a god. God says
He is eternal and unchangeable and ALONE as God.
I could fill pages with facts and evidence that
contradicts every claim of mormonism.
You must sweep ALL that away and substitute
your feelings as the only source of validation.
What you have is JUST an opinion that mormonism
is true - based ENTIRELY on your feelings about
your feelings, as you described on these threads.
And you do not even know if those feelings are
really from God and not a demon.
“a premise I reject and I hope at some time you will reconsider.”
Of course you do. You have no choice as a mormon.
Because I have more than just an opinion, I do
not have to reconsider it. Mormonism is clearly
false. It is easily falsifiable.
“And even if you may not accept our doctrine, I’d
hope that you understand that LDS are not your
enemies— I’d imagine we actually have a lot in
common.”
Outside of our very different faiths, absolutely.
I have one good friend who is a mormon. I value
him as a person. I don’t value mormonism at all,
since it denies Christianity. Spiritually, mormonism
is the enemy of Christianity.
Truth is exclusive.
Politically, no problems. Human to human, no problems.
Business, no problems.
“I’m sure like us, you cherish family, freedom,
faith in God, and the values that Jesus taught.”
Yes, but Christians have a different God, a different
Jesus Christ that we cherish.
Family, freedom, etc, sure. But we are discussing
the falsehood of mormonism’s teachings. I have
nothing against mormons as individuals. I value
all humans - cultic or otherwise. I would value
you just as much if you were a Jehovah’s Witness
or Scientologist instead of a mormonite victim.
Normandy, I find you to be a very nice guy who
is easy going and pleasant, but unable to go
beyond your feelings - or maybe unwilling.
No doubt we have many things and values on the
human level in common. Spiritually, we do not
have anything in common except the name of
Jesus Christ - and mormonism uses His name
for a different Jesus Christ. A created one.

Of course; SATAN is our enemy.
And the things we have in common are NOTHING compared to the things we DON'T!
