I am offended by the obsession that you have with Mormonism ...who have nothing better to do than worry about others beliefs.

My ‘obsession’ as you call it, is because I used to be Mormon. I know these people and I LOVE these people. I know what they believe, what the LDS church teaches, and how they are taught to lie to outsiders to make the LDS church look good.
I even was called to serve a 18 month LDS mission (knocking door to door).
My ‘obsession’ is really the love of Mormons and the love of Christ - who rescued me from sin, death and Hell and rescued me from Mormonism. I want them to know there is a much better way. If I hated them I would just let them be and not tell them the truth.
The other part of it is I don’t want people to fall for their lies like I did. As a Christian it is my duty to warn others of false teachers, false doctrine, false beliefs and wolves in sheeps clothing.
Do I have other things I would rather do? Sure. But for the true believer in Christ, there is nothing better to do than to bring people to Christ and when dealing with Mormons the first step in that is making them see that Mormonism isn’t ‘true’. Been there, done that and have seen God work wonders with LDS people I have witnessed to and ‘obsessed’ over.
I don’t worry about other Christian’s beliefs, because if we agree on the CORE doctrines (there is actually a list of core doctrines) I consider them my brothers and sisters in Christ. However, I do worry about the beliefs of those who are headed for Hell, because of my faith in Christ.
Frankly, I don’t care if I offend you. I don’t do this to be popular and I don’t care what anyone other than my Lord God thinks about me.
So go ahead, hate me, swear at me, make fun of me - I have thick skin and it isn’t anything I haven’t heard before. I am doing what God has called me to do, and what other so-called ‘christians’ refuse to do and that is share the gospel of grace with those who are lost - and Mormons are VERY VERY lost.
Do you really think that you are protecting people from Mormonsim by constantly denigrating them, making jokes about them and just plain old insulting them? To tell you the truth, I was never very enthralled with Mormonism after reading the book, Shot Through the Heart, but you people have made me take another look and forgive some of their eccentricities and silly traditions and beliefs.
I have to tell you that it doesn’t come off as any altruistic intention. It looks like anger and hate to outsiders. You all just seem to get too much giddy pleasure out of insulting the Mormons. The anti-Mormon Crusade looks no different from a bunch of old Klu Klux Klanners would have looked to outsiders, nothing but hatred all balled up inside all of you. It’s not a pretty site.
