I protest the article's title claim stating that the mormon church "seeks mainstream acceptance". IMO, they demand Christian acceptance while at the same time holding themselves above Christians as having the "only true church".

The mormon church attempts to rob other denominations of members by their worldwide program of sending tens of thousands of missionaries out daily to inform people that the only way to salvation is through membership in and obedience to mormonism.

The mormon church even attempts to rob the dead of other denominations of their faith by their arcane ritual of baptism and confirmation of dead souls into mormonism.

The mormon church "seeks acceptance" by....
Slandering our God as being "once a mortal"
Slandering our Savior as being "brother to Lucifer"
Sandering the Trinity by< inventing a polytheistic "godhead"
Slandering the Holy Bible by calling it "imperfectly translated"
Substituting Gethsamane as the "Atonement" that was done on the Cross
Slandering the Cross by substuting as the icon for their buildings a statue made of gold

You need to add to this list the slandering of the worldwide Christian church...all Protestants/Catholic/Orthodox.

Here they demand "respect" for their "theology" which is anthropology at work with a great resume' (I think the Mormon god got the God job with a great resume' and interview with the council of gods)...
...yet more irony: Look at how their leaders trash Christianity and Christian churches:

I won't even in this post go into the whole litany...I'll stay specific and cite a few things of what they say about Christian theology:

"Truly the most grievous and evil heresy ever imposed on an erring and wayward Christianity is their creedal concept about God and the Godhead" (Lds "apostle" Bruce McConkie, BYU Devotional, "Our Relationship with the Lord," p.3 -- cue Elsie]

BTW, at this 1983 BYU devotional, McConkie warned BYU students to NOT seek a personal relationship with Jesus and emphatically claimed that Mormons are not to worship Jesus other than have deep respect and awe for Him.

That was a total turnabout from McConkie's book, Mormon Doctrine, written in 1966 and reprinted in 1978...in which he claimed Mormons worshiped Jesus...

You know when their leading theological "apostle" of the era is confused about whether or not to worship Jesus, that this is a cult in deep, deep confusion.

The quote from McConkie wasn't much different than what would-be Democratic Congressman B.H. Roberts said in an earlier generation. [Roberts was a Mormon general authority and one of their leading theologians; before that his third wife AFTER the manifesto saying no more plural wives kept him from being seated in Congress in 1898...even though Mormon voters voted him to go there...grassroots America signed 7 million signatures to 28 banners & gave it Congress saying they didn't want Roberts in D.C...Congress sent Roberts packing, telling him to go back to Utah]

Well, this is what Roberts had to say about Christian theology: "The fact is that orthodox Christian views of God are Pagan rather than Christian." (The Mormon Doctrine of Deity, p. 116)

Makes you wonder what Mitt Romney's and Harry Reid's view of Christian theology is if they would show enough candor to give us their assessment.
