Are you anti-Mormon?
Mormonism may have some strange beliefs, and may fit the technical definition of a “cult”, but the majority of Moromons are good, decent, hard-working Americans with strong family values, and don’t deserve to be dismissively referred to as cultists.
It is necessary for Mormons to be so called “good, decent, hard-working Americans with strong family values”, because they must work for their salvation, with the men also working toward godhood.
Of course I’m not anti “Mormon” meaning individual Mormons, but I am against Mormonism, Mormonism is a cult, an old fashioned cult, well known cult, and it always has been, just like Scientology.
Being against Scientology, or The Children of God, or the Hare Krishnas, or Mormonism, or the Branch Davidians, isn’t to be against the individuals but the cult itself.
At least they don’t murder members for leaving, unlike Hussein’s cult does!
When my wife and I visited Salt Lake City years ago I found the Mormons to be just that...kind, caring and gracious beyond belief.
We used their ancestory services, went to the Tabernacle Choir building (beyond amazing, the sound was awesome), etc.
I once asked if I could donate a few bucks for their gracious services and they said “no”.
God and Jesus were everywhere. I don’t understand the hatred some people have for simple, God loving, kind, caring people excercising their First Amendment rights.
It’s almost un-Christian of them.

They are indeed cultists, as they are members of a religious cult. To be fair, there are political cultists too, like the GOP and the DNC. I’ve never met a “good” Mormon who was authentically good. In fact, I’ve never met a good person in my entire life. The vast majority of people are shallow and obsessed with image. Possessing the image of Godliness, but lacking the power thereof. That defines Mormonism, and humanity, quite well. They are idolaters with a clean image, but inside they are utterly dead. The teachings in their churches even encourage them to lie to defend Mormonism, “milk before meat,” believing that once they have you converted or once they have you silenced about their reality, it’ll be OK as long as they eventually baptize you Mormon. Let us not fantasize about Mormons and normalize a religious system that is destructive to men, women and entire families in the name of having “good” family values. Try being an apostate Mormon, and they will have your entire family shun you. It is a great fraud what these people are trying to do in normalizing such a disgusting cult.
Gal 1:8-9 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. (9) As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
2Co 6:14-15 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? (15) And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
