No, mormons that come to someone's door to "teach" are the bigots. They/you assume that OUR beliefs aren't as good or complete as yours. That is BIGOTRY.

We come to share the true restored Gospel. If something was not fallen or broken, it would not need to be restored. I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings. If you don't want to hear the message simply say so and the two young missionaries (who are paying their own way for two years of service) will go find another door to knock on.

I know you are brainwashed and thus have a hard time understanding my point. Let me state it again, attempting to "teach" religion (unsolicited) is a form of arrogance and bigotry because it assumes that your knowledge is superior... and frankly with regard to religion only nut bags really think they have a lock on the truth.

Imagine if you will, that every single "church" took to the streets door to door to "teach"... we poor slobs would be CONSTANTLY opening doors for these people. There would be NO END to the constant harrassment from missionaries from every belief system in the world. Think how your life would be in that case. Thankfully, most churchs are more respectful of others and don't engage in this sort of multi level marketing.

***We come to share the true restored Gospel.****


Marcion the heretic claimed to have restored the gospel.
Paul of Samosata claimed to have the true gospel.
Mohammed of Mecca claimed to have the true gospel.
The Bogomills claimed to have the restored gospel.
The Cathati claimed to have the restored gospel.
Anna Lee of the Shakers claimed to have the restored gospel.

Every generation has some so-called prophet who claims to have "restored" the true gospel.

Yet a quick study of the history of Christianity shows the
True Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ was NEVER lost.
"The gates of Hell shall never prevail against it"
you claim the gates of hell DID prevail against it making Christ a LIAR.
