Both are nonsene, Christianity just a little less so. Atleast Christians tell you that you can almost certainly get into the promised land if you repent and behave all nice. Mormons want you to join, but they believe that only a few people are going to be allowed in. They also do not let blood transfusions. The follies are too many to list...Plus they go door-to-door and walk the streets peddling their religion. Because, you know, I was just waiting for someone to walk up to my house and give me a religion.
What are we trying to reach in this topic? I'm just not sure what to comment on. Do you want to know opinions on the religion of Mormons or compare their features? I don't think it's a good idea to make a topic to cut it down, though.
If you want to split hairs about what kind of religion it is, then Christianity is a Jewish religion. Without the Jewish folk, there would of been no Jesus Christ. How is that for splitting hairs?
Yes. Yes it does matter. Without these kind of posts, how would we find out which religion was best in order to choose one to follow? [/sarcasm]
You mean do I personally, or is it right to do so? In both cases it's a no, so I guess it doesn't matter. I have some mormon friends, and they aren't crazy preachers or anything. Their religion is definitely more present in their life than my own is in mine, but I disagree with some of their beliefs, and they with mine, but we get along just fine. In fact, Mormons are sometimes more agreeable than certain christians, but not because of their religion, I just plain don't like the people.
Seriously Turret, I wouldn't worry about not being mormon. Religion is just a personal belief about how the world works or how life should be lived, and it's wrong to force that on someone else.
It should not matter is you are or not any of the numerous religions out there. It is not like the Spanish Inquisition is still around. I mean, although nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition, that time was long ago. The times or killing Christians is done. No more Holocaust. But maybe that is what we need? Another senseless killing off of a random religion just to prove to people that such differences are petty.
