"...but I will defend their right to believe it."

I don't know of anyone here advocating denying mormons their right to believe in or practice their religion. Can you offer some examples to support that assertion?

If anything, their sending of ~70k missionaries into the world claiming that; all of Christianity is apostate, that God is a perfected human, that God is right now, engaged in celestial sex with his harem of wives to keep the planet populated, that men can attain Godhood and eventually have their own planet to rule over, etc. [With the exception of the first point, these last points aren't taught by the missionaries, milk before meat. These are learned once one has become a more devout and loyal member.] deserves rebuttal by right-minded Christians, not support.

Sorry if a handful of ex-mormons and Christians decide to debate and discuss the merits of their doctrine upsets anyone. But if not on this forum, there are many others.

For those who are faithful in presenting the truth about mormonism, I am grateful...they are trying to gather in God's lost sheep.

Remember the Joseph Fielding Smith statement: “Mormonism, as it is called, must stand or fall on the story of Joseph Smith. He was either a Prophet of God, divinely called, properly appointed and commissioned or he was one of the biggest frauds this world has ever seen. There is no middle ground. If Joseph was a deceiver, who willfully attempted to mislead people, then he should be exposed, his claims should be refuted, and his doctrines shown to be false…”– President Joseph Fielding Smith

Just thought I’d post this here.

I believe the article was posted for the express purpose of rebuttal and approval or both sides of the argument.

But I can not see it as having any thing to do with the gospel, as the gospel is preaching the truth rather than exposing what one perceives as untruth.
