My thought about the theology being discussed is that you are disingenuous to critique Mormon theology versus “traditional” christianity which is listed as including Roman Catholics, when in fact your concerns about the theology of Mormonism eventually would by necessity cause you to equally denounce Catholic theology. Further that you are intolerant as regards Mormonism. Furter, that Mormonism is not a serious threat to traditional christianity. Finally, that the discussion is really intolerance and paranoia wrapped in a candy coating of theological discourse. The average Catholic has much more to fear or resent in protestantism and that ought to be obvious from even the shallowest knowledge of history and theology. That is, IF one decides to live a life worrying about the orthodoxy of others, rather than in celebration of American religious freedom. I choose to value religious freedom.

Oh?

You've got to prove your case, before you can build on it.

You haved this almost right.

ANYthing that detracts a person from choosing CHRISTIANITY is a 'threat' to it.

I've stated what the THREAT of MORMONism is already in this thread.

Over exposing heresy?

I find that a bit, shall we say, disingenious.
