“Also, Christianity, true Christianity has been around for 2000 years, but Mormonism has only been around 200 years.....so why should anyone think it’s the TRUE religion?”

You make a very good point. Simple, yet powerful.


And Ignorant, even the Catholic church has not been called Catholic for 2,000 years, LOL then when did they add Roman...

If age is all you are interested in then We believe Adam to have been Baptized by God as the First Mormon, look it up.lds.org

That essentially is a term used for dealing with heretics. Inside the Church the usage is different. See wikipedia:
When in dialogue with other Christians, the Church uses either "Catholic Church" or, if this term is not acceptable to the partner in dialogue, "Roman Catholic Church".[16] Except in such dialogue, the Church most commonly refers to itself as "the Church", and uses "the Catholic Church" far less commonly, and "the Roman Catholic Church" extremely rarely.[17] The Catechism of the Catholic Church is an example: in it, "the Church" appears many hundreds of times, compared to 24 uses of "the Catholic Church" (including the title of the book) and no use of the term "the Roman Catholic Church".
