What you actually need to show, want to show, but can never show, is that evil, bigotry, or socks and sandals for that matter are more prevalent among Mormons than among any other religious group.

It needs more straw.

I'll show simply that MORMONism is a HERESY that has stolen from Christianity.

Ineed to chase no red herrings.

I don’t believe in heresy, at least not in the way you do. But if it does exist in the sense in which you mean it, I’d say it’s for God to sort it all out, not man. And in case you were thinking of going there, I do not believe the Bible to be the literal word of God.

Indeed it is. Joseph Smith, in his drug visions, saw wondrous things and created a theology which suited his finances, his desire for power and his lust for women.

Just as Islam is a Judeo/Christian (some would argue more Christian than Jewish) heresy, so is the Mormon faith. Swedenborgianism came after, although it is very much a heresy, does not rankle quite as much. The Jehovah's Witnesses do compete, however.
