I now have this image of gun toting wheelchair bound guy, not wearing pants in a house full of rotten oranges.

Hope I sleep tonight.

Raped altar boys and "Fathers" all Catholic, not Mormon (big hint is that they aren't married).

Yeah, but IIRC the mormons are even more hardcore about their image. Get on that lawyer interviewing, Mrens. Make the bastards pay. When you do, fly us all to Vegas with a couple of grand in chips. :)

Oh, I'm not defending Mormons. Once they have your vital info it's best to just move, unless you want to settle in for one longass turf war.

Get this right, Mren, Mormons are not Christian any more than oranges are carrots even though they have the same color. Someone as bitter as you against religion should at least be properly informed as to what you are angry about, don't you agree?

As a Christian, I'm almost slightly offended that you would confuse us with Mormons. COME ON!! MORMONS?!?

Great story though. There is one religious group that is worse than the Mormons, atleast in the 'burbs. Born again's. Born Again Christians are the epitimy of religious zeal. I wish I could hit them, but I'd probably go to hell -=\

Not many threads make me actually laugh out loud, but I'm at my desk trying to do so quietly.

Keep up the good fight!

For those of you not wanting to claim mormons as your christian brethren, this comes straight from the Mormon.org FAQ page:
Quote:
Question:
Are you Christians?

Answer:
Gordon B. Hinckley, President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said:
"We are Christians in a very real sense and that is coming to be more and more widely recognized. Once upon a time people everywhere said we are not Christians. They have come to recognize that we are, and that we have a very vital and dynamic religion based on the teachings of Jesus Christ."

Like it or not, these people are on your team.

Just because they want to be on my team doesn't mean that they are. Jim Jones invoked JC as well, but I don't think anybody would credibly call his cult "Christian" either. The same applies to the Branch Davidians since heresy is heresy.

And Mormonism embraces heresy as being doctrine, so when Joey Smith's adherents whine and say, "Pick me! Pick me! I want to play too!" it doesn't mean we have to let them in the game.

Maybe you don't consider them christians. The fact is they consider themselves to be so. To my non christian perspective, that makes them christians.

There is plenty of variance in the beliefs of christians, the difference between catholics and protestants being the most obvious one. If I'm not mistaken, protestants were labelled as heretics as well.

One of the tenets of Christianity is that, after the ressurrection and appearing before his disciples, Christ ascended into Heaven until the Second Coming. As I understand it, the Mormons would have Jesus kicking around the Americas for a bit, talking to Tonto and Pocahantos.

They're free to call themselves whatever they want, and you're free to consider them whatever they want, but in my mind calling them Christian makes as much sense as saying the Pope is Jewish because Catholics read the Old Testament.

Just to be clear, I'm not defending mormonism (mormonics?) in any way, shape or form. I'm an athiest. I don't defend any religion. I also don't hold any sacrosanct, so I'm sorry if some people feel polluted by the inclusion of mormons in the "christian" category. That's for you believers to sort out.

Here's the copy and paste from dictionary.com (bold added by me for emphasis):
Quote:
Professing belief in Jesus as Christ or following the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus.

Some people apparently only recognize the second half of this definition as valid.

If somebody calls themselves a christian, I'm not going to say they're not.

Either way, oh I wish I coulda been a fly on the wall at Mren's place. I'm sure he was livid, but it makes a great story. Smiley: clap

*Shrug* I don't feel it's "polluted", it's just not very accurate. Really, a one line blurb from a dictionary site is hardly sufficent to accurately describe a lot of things, much less religions.

Again, you're free to consider Mormons to be Christians, Jewish or followers of Quetzacoutal; I'm also free to say you're not being entirely accurate.

Whenever we got door to door witnesses my husband would explain that we were christians and not interested thanks *slam*

My husband travels alot however and finally I decided to try a self-amusing aproach.
When witnesses of any religion come to my door I begin to tell them about all of the wonderful things the Celetial Spud has done for us "Be ye kind to potatos" I say "Skin not lest ye be skinned"
"Forget not what the Celestial Spud hath done for thee, for without his kindness thy would havest Burgers to eat alone"
Then I hand them a printed version of This Under the heading: The Temple of the Celestial Spud.
needless to say no one comes to my door anymore...in fact...they walk a wide circle around it.

This also works with panhandlers btw.

I have no idea what you guys are smoking. Not once in my post did I say or even imply that I was dealing with Mormons. Even my title was "At war with the Christians"

I don't have a throbing hard on against mormons, it's all religions (With a few exceptions)
