Well I don’t get into discussions with Mormons about Mormominsim as it is a faith that can’t be viewed as orthodox Christianity on Trinitarian and Christological questions. With Protestants, we are at least in agreement on those issues (plus many others) but if the theology about God is unorthodox, which Mormonism is, then no need to discuss it in my view.
Well; the 'view' of a LOT of folks is they have no clue as to what ORTHODOX even MEANS!
No one comes into this world knowing about any 'religion'.
It is ONLY by learning about them can one make an informed decision which; if any; are true.
