“. . . salivating at the chance for revenge against the LDS over the prop 8 victory in CA”
When members of the LDS Church were standing side-by-side with other Christians to pass Prop 8, I didn’t hear anyone condemning us to hell and calling us cult members. Only when it became more convenient did some of them turn on us.
My wife calls this selective hearing.
I've been calling the LDS Church cult since I left it in 1970.
It is a cult Sandra. You deny all the basic tenets of Christianity and then try to pawn yourself off as Christian. When you stop calling your church the only true church in the world and when you stop sending missionaries all over the world to convert Catholics and Protestants to your peculiar religion, then maybe you will shed the designation.
As long as you pretend to be a Christian Church you will be called a Cult. We have to call you something, and we won't call you Christian.
