As a former mormon who has lived in several mormon-controlled communities, I can assure you that I have personally known of mormon pedophiles, mormon drunks, mormon thieves and mormon wife-beaters.
For example, a current case:
Former LDS bishop arraigned, accused of bilking 'little guys'
Is this the behavior that you consider the most "Christian"?
Even if it is, mormonism is NOT Christianity...even if "many" behave.
ALL religious denominations have that. There are examples of Jewish pedophiles, Jewish drunks, Jewish thieves and Jewish wife-beaters.... Southern Baptist pedophiles, Southern Baptist drunks, Southern Baptist thieves and Southern Baptist wife-beaters.... Catholic pedophiles, Catholic drunks, Catholic thieves and Catholic wife-beaters.... all of us are human and fall short of the glory of the God.
I don't think anyone would claim a particular religious community is made up of infallible members. I simply said MANY Mormons behave him in a more Christian manner than a lot of self-proclaimed "Christians" in this country. This doesn't mean they don't have their share of seedy Mormons.
>> Former LDS bishop arraigned, accused of bilking 'little guys' Is this the behavior that you consider the most "Christian"? <<
Of course not. By better behavior, I mean that studies have shown that Mormon families on average are much more likely to be intact two parent marriages, have less drug use, crime, adultery, and more weekly church attendance than the "average" Catholic or Protestant household in America. Those are the facts whether you like them or not. I am NOT a Mormon but it certainly looks bad among mainstream Christians that so many Christian families do not behave in a Christ-like manner. It's very sad that half of all marriages now end in divorce.
>> Even if it is, mormonism is NOT Christianity...even if "many" behave. <<
As I previously noted twice, I do NOT claim Mormonism is Christianity. They certainly aren't... but overall they simply behave more morally and Christ-like than a lot of self-proclaimed Christians.
In reality, "many" DO NOT claim Mormonism is Christianity. It's baseless propaganda from the mainstream media that only "evangelicals don't think Mormons are Christian". In reality, EVERY mainstream Christian denomination REJECTS the idea that Mormons are Christians. Catholics, Orthodox, and "mainline" protestant churches have ALL said Mormon doctrines are incompatible with Christianity. Mormonism is a polytheistic religion that denies basic Christian tenants and practices things no genuine Christian denomination would accept, such as baptizing death people. They claim Jesus is the messiah and divine, but so do many other non-Christian religions like the Bahá'í faith. Mormons are no more "Christian" than Hindus are.
