  1. Of course, by any criteria agreed upon by Christian denominations of nearly every stripe, Mormons aren't Christians. If anyone doesn't know what I mean, read this book:

    Mere Christianity.

  2. I have no problem voting for a Mormon, or for that matter, an atheist, depending on his character and conservative philosophy.
  3. Mrs. Chandler disagrees with #2.

I remember picking up Mere Christianity and being very excited to read it, because it was advertised as a thinking-person’s guide to the faith. Wow, was I disappointed. Lewis tried (pathetically) to prove by reason and evidence what can only be “proved” — or rather, experienced — by faith.

To wit: his assertion that Jesus was either a madman or was the Son of God he claimed to be; since he obviously wasn’t a madman, he must have been the Son of God. When secular liberals hear such laughable reasoning, they immediately think there’s nothing Christianity has to offer, and they don’t bother trying to enter into relationship with God, which should be the central point.

No, Mormons aren’t Christians.

Spend some time doing a simple Google search and it will become crystal clear....they are WEIRD!
