Just as an aside —
I am making an in this thread an argument that the issue at hand is whether LDS is not Christian. It is a denotative question.
Our general desire to do Christian proselytizing should be done within a context of those who are in need thereof. The LDS are. That isn’t attacking, it is recognizing.
But you note, accurately, that many aspects of the LDS do indeed mock Christianity as much as Scientology mock all religions (and both were founded similarly). For that we have every reason to react strongly.
I just want to categorize the arguments for clarity (not that it will matter to some on the thread).
agreed.
