Religions are just cults with more subscribers.

I believe Mormons are following a disguised satanic faith. They are a cult because they will not allow nonmormons to go to their wedding ceremonies or into their temples. Only cults have something to hide. Its followers blindly believe and are taught not to question and their lives are heavily influenced and controlled by their church. I believe they are satanic because my mormon friends told me that they believe in exultation, that when they die they will become a god or goddess. This is why the devil, who was once an angel, was cast out of heaven, because he desired to take God's place and have his power.

I'm slightly on the fence about this, since I'm not an expert on mormonism. But here's why I'm leaning to this side: The mormons take their children to the front of the church, starting when they are 2 or 3 years old, and whisper "the child's" testimony in his or her ear. So these kids grow up having told themselves that they know this church is true before they even have any idea what their words mean. Now, starting testimony-giving that young isn't an actual doctrine of the church, but it is a heavily encouraged process, so the indoctrination process is a part of that religion as it is practiced at this time. Also, children are required to be baptized at the age of 8, which is way too young to actually know what you believe. In my opinion, because of the indoctrination that takes place in this religion, mormonism may be a cult.

Mormonism is as much a cult as any other religion. Weird "fundamentalist" offshoots might be more cultish, but that's true for any religion. It has its beliefs that aren't possible to test with science, just like all religions do.

Cults are usually upstart "religions," or extremist, literalist sects on the far reaches of an established religion. The Mormons have been around for quite a long time, have a great variety of followers, and preach a message of peace and compassion, just like many other Christian churches and other faiths. They are not inherently extremist or otherwise cultish, those are just views propagated by those attempting to degrade Mromonism in the eyes of the world. Disclaimer: I am not a Mormon.

I think its a religion. The think some people (usually other Christians) label Mormonism a cult in an attempt to slander and reduce it.
