I should have been clearer.
I know Mormons believe in Christ. But they call themselves Mormons. If someone asks you what religion you belong to you would say you are a Mormon.
Mormon is a nick name that comes from one of the authors of the Book of Mormon.
We are more likely to say "Latter Day Saint" or "LDS".
We do not look at the nick name "Mormon" as a perjoritive, and many understand what it means. However, you will never see "Mormon" on any of the Church Buildings, or printed material.
You will always see "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" on the buildings.
No the media and others call us Mormons, we perfer Latter Day Saints (LDS)
J, just quit while you're behind. You seem to get in deeper trying to correct the last dumb thing you said. You have no idea what you're talking about.
