“The reality is that if one religion is a cult, all religions are cults.”

Exactly. There is nothing in Mormonism that is not shared by religion in general. A belief in the metaphysical.

- - - - - - -

But there is A LOT in Mormonism that is not shared by CHRISTIANITY in general. And THAT is why these people were not allowed to be scout leaders.

So a mormon is a buddist is a moslem is a shintoist is a druid.

One of the principle arguments against Christianity is how a perfect writing, the Bible, is used to create so many cults. It it were perfect and defined, only one religion would spring from its pages.

But it has fostered many religions; the cult members trash each other, claim superiority over other cults, and then claim the high ground is theirs after waging such poor behavior. They do not set a good example for those who seek spiritual guidance. It is like our political system!
