So are the Mormon haters. I would ease up on Purgatory. You guys actually believe you can baptize people after they are dead. It sounds virtually the same.
Some of the new Emergent churches are actually adopting some of the beliefs of the Catholics and Mormons on the Afterlife.
My point, which sorry to see that you missed, is NOT that this denomination is absolute truth, or that denomination is absolutely correct.
I'm not judging Pergutory one way or another.
It is that these anti-Mormon bomb throwers feel so emboldened to slam Mitt Romney over the LDS church's foibles when ALL denominations have some sort of tradition or teaching NOT FOUND IN THE BIBLE.
It's just the sheer egotism of some believers (not you necessarily) who feel is is THEY who are absolute truth. THat is what really irks me , especially in light of this great country, the United States of America, which was founded on religious freedom and tolerance.
And I'm a church-going, Bible believing fairly conservative spiritual person .... who was raised on Billy Graham and church revivals.
