You are right. People are free to continue whatever beliefs they want.
The problem (as I’ve stated before) is that the Doctor holds a fake doctor certificate. He isn’t what he professes to be. If he were honest, and told everyone up front that he isn’t a certified Doctor, and that he practices alternative medicine, I wouldn’t have any problem with what he does.
To break it down so that there are no misunderstandings, I will leave my analogy behind.
I don’t care if Mormons wish to practice their beliefs. I do object to them proclaiming to be Christian just like everyone else. When I ws a youngster, the LDS Church actually disliked being called Christian. They’ve recently changed their tune and want to be seen as more “mainstream.” I see it as a way for them to convince more people to join them.
About one half of all LDS members become inactive or leave the Church entirely. All those people who leave, left for a reason....they aren’t all liars.
It sounds to me that it depends on who is the defining authority when it comes to the definition of a Christian.
“About one half of all LDS members become inactive or leave the Church entirely. All those people who leave, left for a reason....they aren’t all liars.”
It’s the Jack Mormons who go atheist that I worry about, like my boss.
And you presume that you know the stories of all of those who have left the Church, and that you speak for them?!
Most of the people that I know who have gone inactive or left the Church don't go around spreading lies like you do. Most have the good sense to leave the Church alone after they've left the Church. Either the Church just wasn't for them, or they just weren't cut out for the Church. No harm. No foul.
