Mormonism most certainly is a religion. But then religion (even under the guise of Christianity) does not qualify one for eternal life. Only one thing does that, which is why you won't find any Mormons in heaven. Or Muslims. Or Baptists. Or Presbyterians. Or...(insert your own denomination here).
[Isn't it possible that obsessive, hostile Mormon-bashing might make Mormons a little less receptive to hearing the Gospel? Just sayin'.]
You appear to be confusing mormon with exposure of mormonISM.
Exposing mormonism is not hate and it is not bashing, it is just exposure.
“[Isn’t it possible that obsessive, hostile Mormon-bashing might make Mormons a little less receptive to hearing the Gospel? Just sayin’.]”
If Mormonism doesn’t get bashed, how do you suppose the Mormon is going to wake up from it? They believe they have the only true Gospel, and they even have 6 different definitions for the word ‘saved’ which is specifically designed by the devil to make them as utterly distance from the Gospel as possible.
Mormonism is such an absurd religion that even the slightest historical research disproves it. What’s gripping them is an unwillingness to look beyond their “faith promoting” LDS histories. I suspect the Islamics are the same way with their plagiarized and absurd Koran dictated by their pedophile.
Possible; if we ever actually bashed a MORMON; and not their heresy from Hell.
Do MORMONs ever worry that their CHRISTIANITY bashing will cause THEM not to deceive potential members?
Speaking of BASHING...
Is BrighamYoung lying?
"For unbelievers we will quote from the Scriptures - "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God." Again - "Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God."
I will now give my scripture - "Whosoever confesseth that Joseph Smith was sent of God to reveal the holy Gospel to the children of men, and lay the foundation for gathering Israel, and building up the kingdom of God on the earth, that spirit is of God; and every spirit that does not confess that God has sent Joseph Smith, and revealed the everlasting Gospel to and through him, is of Antichrist.......
- BrighamYoung
Here's some MORE for MORMON's...
"Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives, and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned; and I will go still further and say, take this revelation, or any other revelation that the Lord has given, and deny it in your feelings, and I promise that you will be damned.
- JoD 3:266 (July 14, 1855)
It is true that the earth was organized by three distinct characters, namely, Eloheim, Yahovah, and Michael, these three forming a quorum, as in all heavenly bodies, and in organizing element, perfectly represented in the Deity, as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Again, they will try to tell how the divinity of Jesus is joined to his humanity, and exhaust all their mental faculties, and wind up with this profound language, as describing the soul of man, "it is an immaterial substance!" What a learned idea! Jesus, our elder brother, was begotten in the flesh by the same character that was in the garden of Eden, and who is our Father in Heaven. Now, let all who may hear these doctrines, pause before they make light of them, or treat them with indifference, for they will prove their salvation or damnation.
I have given you a few leading items upon this subject, but a great deal more remains to be told. Now, remember from this time forth, and for ever, that Jesus Christ was not begotten by the Holy Ghost.
- JoD 1:50-51 (April 9, 1852)
The rank, rabid abolitionists, whom I call black-hearted Republicans, have set the whole national fabric on fire. Do you know this, Democrats? They have kindled the fire that is raging now from the north to the south, and from the south to the north. I am no abolitionist, neither am I a proslavery man; I hate some of their principles and especially some of their conduct, as I do the gates of hell. The Southerners make the negroes, and the Northerners worship them; this is all the difference between slaveholders. and abolitionists. I would like the President of the United States and all the world to hear this.
Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so.
- JoD: vol.10 p. 110: (March 8, 1863)
It looks like BrighamYoung was pretty good at bashings.
Any place that a MORMON has the nerve to start spouting any of their HERESY will turn in to a BASH.

And I will keep on doing what I am doing
in order to cut the ground from under those
who want an opportunity to be considered equal
with us in the things they boast about.
