Yes, it is a cult in disguise. Not Christians because exultation contradicts Christian ideology. Satan was cast out of heaven because he wanted God's power. Humans were sent from the Garden of Eden because we ate from the tree of knowledge and gained the capacity to know as God knows. Therefore, their beliefs contradict traditional Christian theology.

Were you around when the bible was written? No, you weren't. So how can you claim a religous text fact, especially when the god it talks of rarely, and not publically, reveals himself? No proof makes a ground support for skepticism. Maybe its not a fairy tale, but the point is that the stories of the bibles are theory, not proven fact.

But sir, that would be long and most people would not read the arguments, they would skip to the end. I am not debating for reward points. I am debating for the sake of proving a point, and if someone proves me wrong, I would downvote myself. Who gives a crap about the points? I care only for the sake of the argument.

Well sometimes anecdotal evidence is some of the best evidence we have on this site since it shows how we can be relatable to some topics, but his argument definitely wasn't helpful nor was it constructive.

Just because one believes in Christ doesn't make them Christian. A satanic follower could believe Christ is the son of god but not follow him.

Furthermore, your belief in becoming god-like when you die fully contradicts Christian ideaology. Christians believe in paradise, not god's power. The devil was cast out for trying to usurp god, was he not? Now explain how your belief doesn't contradict this core Christian theology.

The book of mormon and the belief in exultation contradict traditional Christian idealogy. Not to mention the bible itself. So no, you are not Christians. But you aren't much better than them.

Religion needs to accept science. Once it accepts science, life is good. Your use of the word Jew seems to convey hatred and intolerance. As an athiest I see you as no better than any other believer, especially mormons. I have friends who are mormons, but that does not mean I cannot have an opinion about your religion.

And I'd hate to break it to you, but a belief in the after life or belief in God is no more founded than a belief in magic or fortune tellers. You should understand that what you are saying makes no logical sense.

And who says faith is necessary to make a good person or good family? Am I a bad person because I am athiest? Who are you to say that I should try to emulate christ? Maybe your God should step off his high throne and explain why you mormons are brainwashing people into hate and intolerance.

Saying gayness is a sin does not help teens find their sexuality. It only pushes them into denial. I am not gay, but once I was homophobic. But then I realized that is pointless to try and change who people are on the inside. At most I think mormons teach prejudice that is unfounded and deserves to be blamed for hatred towards gays.

Most of my mormon friends do not have a choice. Their families make them. That and they are brainwashed. Any religion that decides for you what to believe, think, wear, say, and not to question is bad. Mormonism does all of this. And frankly, Adam and Eve were cast from the Garden of Eden because they ate from the tree of knowledge and gained God's knowledge abilities. Satan was cast from heaven because he wanted God's power and to take his place. Mormons, as they have told me, believe that when they die that they will become a god or goddess like God. First off, this contradicts the first two Christian ideaologies. Second, this is polytheistic. Christianity is monotheistic. Therefore, their idealogy makes them not Christians.

Scripture is all fairytales. None of us were around when they were written, and none of us have had a heart to heart talk with God. Therefore, it is simply belief. For example, I believe in evolution. God created the universe, and the first humans to evolve He saw and gave them souls because they were the first creatures that could question. That combines scripture with science. Point being, its a point of view

I do not believe mormons are christians. I have several mormon friends, and I have learned of their belief in exultation, or the belief that when they die they will become gods or goddesses equal to God. I believe this contradicts Christian ideology because Christians believe in paradise, not gaining god's power; for according to the bible, was the devil not once an angel, and was he not cast out from heaven because he desired to take God's place? Therefore, this does not match Christian ideology, making them a similar, yet not Christian faith.

Not at all, my good man. It's what you THINK about Jesus that makes you a Christian or not.

Dear mormon, you are brainwashed. Your religion is polytheistic, slightly satanic by other christian terms, and from my athiest view, no better than others. Your belief in exultation contradicts the bible, and no archeologist has ever found the "golden plates and magic glasses" in Mexico. You may believe in the divine asshole known as God, and think that you are Christians, but your idealogy differs to a point that you are not Christians in the traditional sense.

Josh says Mormons suck!

They have a million wives and go house to house wearing suits. Not christians.
