It’s not bigotry to call Mormonism a cult.

I'm sorry but, yes it is. It is soft bigotry. When someone says something is a cult or someone is a cultist it always brings to mind such things as Manson, The Branch Davidians, the Hale-Bopp Doomsday guys, etc etc.

No, I’m sorry, but that isn’t bigotry, even the soft kind.

Without getting into all of the Mormon doctrine here, let’s just say it has many symptoms of a cult. There are many, many links on the net that discuss these symptoms in great detail. While Mormonism isn’t a perfect fit, it’s pretty close in my opinion.

Now, here’s the definition of bigotry:
One who is strongly partial to one’s own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.

I tolerate Mormons. I even like Mormons. I just think they are wrong on spiritual matters.
