How is it anti-Christian? They prosyletize, but so do Catholics and Protestants.
When was the last time the Mormons made statements disparaging any Christian faith or committing acts against any Christian faith?

The foundation of moronism is Joseph Smith’s false claim that angels told him every Christian Church is false.
It continues to promote that message today - 24 hours a day - around the world - using 50,000 “missionaries”
to tell all Christians, of every kind that their Church is wrong, their Bible is falsely translated, etc.
Every day. All day. Every Christian Church. Worldwide.
Every time the missionaries tell the prospective convert that their church (and Christianity in general) is apostate and the only true church is mormon.
mormonISM is NOT Christianity.

You are right. It has been quite awhile; perhaps even half a century.
Mormons used to decry and mock Christianity. John Taylor, the third Mormon president, was noted for his ability - while a missionary in Europe - to tear Christianity apart and mock the unreasonableness of a Triune God. Mormons used to denigrate and rail against the government of the United States of American and the various states in which they resided for evil-doing. They even fought a war with the United States in 1850’s. Mormons used to speak out defiantly in favor of plural marriage and its virtues, Brigham Young and John Taylor were lions in this fight. Mormons used to proclaim that there was only one way for a man to atone for abominable sin: to have his throat cut and spill his own blood in atonement for his sins.
Now they identify themselves with Christianity and proclaim they are offended when their Christianity is questioned. Now they are among the most loyal of Americans. Now they preach family values to everyone. Now they demand tolerance for the aberrant. In other words they have caved in to pressure on nearly everything that they held dear a century or more ago. What are we to make of this?
Well, let’s see. When I run into an individual who, under pressure, goes back on nearly everything he claimed to hold dear, what does this tell me about his principles?
So, “who would fardels bear,” I recognize the facticity of what you are saying. However, while it seems to inspire confidence in you, it simply makes me question all the more what is there when all the obfuscations have been peeled away. Is there any there there? I think not.
Nice try. But your argument doesn’t hold water.

When was the last time you read the disparaging words made against the Christian faith that Mormons chiseled IN STONE in Temple Square in Salt Lake City ??

I personally have sat in the pew and heard local leaders condemn Christianity, claiming that it came from a poisoned tree...in particular, I remember a "talk" on the evils of the "Mariology" of the Catholic church.
I heard many times that "anyone with a DROP of negro blood should never be allowed to enter the temple, and laudatory stories of some temple worker who "had a feeling and refused entry to a couple" only to find out later that the man was 1/32nd negro.
Mormons will have to wait a few years until all of those who are witnesses to the present day anti-Christian mormon church have died, in order to whitewash the brand completely.
