Never met a Mormon in real life, read their philosophy. it’s not Christian, but I don’t see them as anti-Christian today.

They deliberately do not appear that way to ‘gentiles’ but to each other and in their own circles they are very much ‘anti christian’.

A couple of years ago, a couple of LDS missionaries were caught (they took the pictures themselves) desecrating a Catholic shrine and chapel.

When I was LDS we used to constantly make fun of ‘gracers’ or ‘reborns’. We would even have mock “Christian” services and ‘baptisms’ in the swimming pool at our apartment complex.

In short, every Mormon I knew thought Christians (esp Evangelicals) were stupid while we (the LDS) were the smart ones who had a monopoly on ‘truth’.

Of course, we would never do this (or rarely) in front of the Christian or other gentiles since it might make ‘the Church’ look bad and that was the unforgivable sin.

And then there are the quotes (some of them not that old) about how Christians are apostates and of the devil and blind and dumb.

I did not know this -- I just googled it and found here

The men have also been accused of breaking the head off of a statue of saint at the Shrine of the Mexican Martyrs in San Luis, Colorado.

In 2006, three missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) visited a Catholic shrine in the San Luis Valley in Colorado. While at the shrine, the Mormon missionaries photographed themselves in poses that demeaned the Catholic Church.

The pictures, which were posted last week on the photo-sharing site Photobucket, show the men preaching from the Book of Mormon behind the altar; holding the head from a statue of St. Manuel Morales, a young Mexican who died opposing anti-religious laws; and one of the missionaries pretending to sacrifice a fellow missionary on the altar.
