We had a Jesus Week at the college I worked for and one of our church members, a young man, portrayed Christ on the cross for quite a long time (he was exhausted when he was done). One of the young girls next to me was a Mormon and she thought the whole scene was ‘disgusting.’ It was apparent that she didn’t believe in Christ on the cross for all mankind.
The mormon church teaches that the cross was an instrument of torture and not to be revered, as Christians do. There are no crosses on mormon property, and you won't see mormons wearing the gold crosses of Christianity.
Just one more way for the founders to have singled out their religion as "special".
