To: Grig; All
From Grig: 400 years ago Catholics looked on Protestantism as a cult of Christianity that lead people to hell, and looked on Protestants as not really being Christians. Clearly they've changed their minds a bit over the years on that. In time, the same thing will happen with respect to Mormons IMHO. In fact it largely has already. While there are still some who speak of Mormons the same way that Catholics spoke of Protestants centuries ago, society in general recognizes The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints as a Christian group.

Hmm...let me "fix" this vanity for you [bold-faced="added" copy]:
400 180 years ago CatholicsMormons looked on Protestantism, Catholics & Orthodox as apostates of Christianity that lead people to a Joseph Smith-free hellish existence, and looked on Protestants as not really being Christians. Clearly they'vehaven't changed their minds a bit over the years on that (kinda hard in that's it's basically embedded in Mormon stone like the 10 commandments). In time, the same thing will won't happen with respect to how Mormons regard Christians IMHO. In fact it largely has already become worse because now Mormons act so schizophrenic on this subject -- saying one thing to your face all the while their printed material says the exact opposite! While there are still some who speak of Mormons who treat Christians the same way that Catholics spoke of Protestants centuries ago, society in general recognizes The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints as Mormons... and then Christians as distinctly a Christian group. In fact, even the vanity-author, Grig, distinguished the two by the headline of "Mormon and Christian!"

Folks; don't get all caught up in #13 and #14 in a MORMON thread: they like it too much!
 

 
                       Standard LDS responses to data put to them:
 
 1. How you interpret it is wrong...
 2. You are too ignorant to really understand it because you are not a member....
 3. You're not qualified to judge because you're no LONGER a member...
 4. You are just a bigot for bringing the whole ugly truth to light ...
 5. So's yer Mama!
 6. Laugh it all off and post some silly image.
 7. Jump down the rabbit hole; Alice!
 8. Bait & Switch
 9. The OTHER 'half' of the truth is what we are avoiding.
10. "I Know It When I See It"
11. Hand waving...
12. YOU play defense for a while.
13. HEE Hee hee... let's get the Calvinists and the Armenians fighting!
14. GREAT FUN! Let's get the Catholics and the Protestants fighting!
15. Huh? Did you say something?
16. If I repeat this enough times some folks will be fooled into thinking it's true.
17. Playing dumb.
18. Refusing to answer because your ATTITUDE offends them.
19. (Let's see if they'll fall for the 'Defend a freak' ploy.)
20. And the MOST used... IGNORE what they posted and answer the question that SHOULD have been asked.
