“As to what they believe, I am neither offended nor repulsed by their faith...”


Well that settles it. You must be a closet Mormon or an atheist. What Christian wouldn’t be offended by a religion that teaches men can become Gods, that there are an unlimited number of Gods in the universe, that Jesus was produced through sexual relations between “Elohim” with his glorified wang and one of his thousands of goddess wives, that salvation is won through obscure hand shakes and rituals, and worst of all, the fact that all of these doctrines are damnable, and no Mormon will ever see the light of heaven?

"What Christian wouldn’t be offended by a religion that teaches men can become Gods ..."

What is it about a real Christian that would cause such blasphemies to be offensive? ... God's Spirit within the human spirit. That someone is not at all offended by such blasphemies is an indication of something missing, eh?

Compare it to someone saying lies about my decased brother whose memory is fixed in my heart with the love I retain toward him. If I could listen to lies and insults about my brother I claim to love ... well, you get the gist.

There is a phenomenon of feeling uncomfortable when in the presence of a heated discussion. Such folks usually just leave or avoid the scene. But it is quite different to jump in guns blazing, to attack one of the sides in the discussion.

When posters are objecting to the blasphemies at the heart of Mormonism, and someone attacks those who are exposing those blasphemies but the attacker claims to be an adherent to the beliefs about which the blasphemies are being spewed, well, the adherent is not so genuine, eh?

A Christian will be offended by the blasphemies, but a pretend Christian has no anchor, no compass arising from God's Spirit in their human spirit. Of such there is likely poor recognition of the issues at hand, much less a rudder for guidance when professional deceivers are at work, as in Mormonism apologists.
