I just don't get the ongoing bashing of Mormon's here.

Every day but Sunday, Mormons send out over 52,000 missionaries around the globe who claim all Christians are apostates. (They call it the "universal apostasy" and "restoration")

By comparison, what? There's a few dozen FREEPERS who challenge Mormonism's claims?

Seems you're imbalanced. Why don't you go after the 52,000 vs. the handful of FReepers?

All true-believing Mormons also tithe.

Tell us, LVR: Let's say, Ron a new church sprung up in your 'Vegas neighborhood.

Let's say they added "Revelation 23" to their Bible.

Let's say some unnamed entities appeared unto their leader, and he reported as part of "Revelation 23": My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of 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.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; [Note to Ron: this in fact "Mormon scripture" -- Joseph Smith 1, vv. 18-19 in the Pearl of Great Price]

Furthermore, the leader of this "newbie church" claimed he was "lay[ing] the foundation of this church, and to bring it forth out of obscurity and out of darkness, the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth" [Note to Ron: This is in fact "Mormon scripture" -- Doctrine & Covenants 1:30]

Furthermore, the leader of this "newbie church" claimed that this "Only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth" was the "church of the Lamb of God" -- and he translated an ancient document which said: "Behold there are save two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations; and she is the whore of all the earth." [Note to Ron: This is in face "Mormon scripture" - 1 Nephi 14:10 from the Book of Mormon]

Now let's say that this church grew to 14 million around the world -- and that about 5-6 of million of them tithed to spread the above message into over 100 different languages.

Fact: Mormon "scriptures" bash Christians 24/7 as the "church of the devil" ... a false and dead church...full of "corrupt" professing apostate believers who embrace 100% putrid creeds...
...and they do this in all kinds of languages every hour of every day.

Yet not a complaint from you, Ron. Why not? You don't mind if the Christian church is slandered in such a way?

Every day there are millions of Christians who challenge Mormons to accept Jesus.

“By comparison, what? There’s a few dozen FREEPERS who challenge Mormonism’s claims? “

Well then you’d better get busy with something more effective. How many have you converted?

My FRiend, I don't care what anyone says or does, my Faith is true and steadfast.

Just as I don't care if a man takes an image of Christ and submerges it in urine, I will pray that they somehow someday see the light.

I do not need to bash other belief es to justify my own, sorry.

To do so would show weakness in by own faith, JMHO.

I think we need to set up a collection for some of our OWN statues and plaques!

But WHERE could we place them that so many gullible people could see them?
