Rather than trash other religions, I try to understand my own faith better and I serve as a volunteer at my Church and do everything I can to help it out.

HMMMmmm...


The BIBLE has said a LOT about 'other faiths'.

I'll bet the church you have chosen to attend has as well...


Mormonism is not Christianity. FYI -->

Some Mormons undoubtedly become Christians, and evidently leave the Mormon sect they were members of behind.

(Thanks to delacort for compiling this list)

My dear, I will leave it to you to judge what is a legitimate religion and what is not.

I do not agree with the teachings of the Mormon Church. But I also do not attack it. I do not ridicule it. I do not make fun of it. It is what it is.

I don’t happen to agree with the Jewish faith either. But I don’t attack that religion either.

I’m a Catholic. I love my Church and practice my faith. I don’t agree with EVERYTHING my Church stands for as well, but I do agree with most of it.

My Church is far from perfect. We have made a lot of mistakes. We are still cleaning up the mess. My archdiocese alone has to grapple with a $660 billion settlement stemming from the homosexual/pedophile priest scandal. It will take us years to recover from that. Church attendance among Catholics is way down nationally and around the world. We have a critical shortage of priests. We have a lot of work to do just repair our own Church and to win back people who were born into our Faith.

I will leave the Mormon bashing to you. We need to build up our own Church and restore its credibility, not to tear down other faiths and churches IMHO.
