One of the things that disturbs me about Mormonism is their secretiveness. Evangelicals are definitely not secretive about their beliefs which is a major plus.

The only thing they were deceitful about was acting more tolerant up front than they really were down deep. They also seemed to be rather wimpy in their proselytizing efforts: going after Christians with whom they already had a lot in common, rather that out-and-out atheists and agnostics.

I realize this is not true of all evangelicals, and I realize that many of those that appeared deceitful to me may have been more deceiving themselves then knowingly trying to deceive me. Still it left a bad taste. Especially when all the smiles and hugs and directed Bible studies ultimately led to Tony Alamo tracts and YEC drivel.

Tony Alamo is a cult leader, not a Christian.

I see you've experienced some LB yourself!
