By definition, all religions are cults. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/cult

Side: Yes

I agree that all religions are cults, and I think the Mormon religion gets more of that label due to their more zealous attitude about the "True Way" and also with the fervent spreading of that word; as compared to most other religions. They have a higher count of unique rites/ceremonies/practices they have such as needing to be married in the temple to make it to one of the positive 3 levels of the afterlife, or the whole missionary ordeal, or the bearing testament. So I think Mormonism is labelled more as a cultish society because of things like those.

Side: Yes

All three desert dogmas and most of their splinter factions are cults. Death cults, more specifically, and that includes Mormons.

The Pope says that non-believers can go to heaven...

(P.P.S Christianity is a cult)

By one of the definitions: a cult is any religion considered false.

Besides that is the old testament, some things change from new to old testament. Not a whole lot of things, but a few.

Could you explain in your own words how that is possible.

Side: Yes

ummm.. it is a type of religion, there for if it was a cult then they all would be cults.

Side: No

Mormons do believe in Jesus Christ, therefore, the Religion is not a cult.

Side: No

Leave the Mormons alone, they're good people. Plus I mean, if you're gonna call a religious following that big a cult well, might as well start labeling every religion with any sort of structure a cult. And I see a few of you are, so.

Not that I disagree with this, I'm just going to add, for the sake of being fair, I do feel that there is an atheist persona (on the internet more than anywhere else), with some cultlike tendencies. Without a clear belief structure, it's obviously much less pronounced compared to religion, but there definitely is an common personality that I've seen many times on the internet.

Side: No
