My personal beliefs are that the Mormons have added lots of scripture of modern origin to their beliefs and therefore I question their doctrine, but not their faithfulness. It is not my decision to make as to whether they are right or wrong. */ Regarding harrassment: The ATHEISTS are actually oppressing Christians in many places. For instance, in Albania, the Christians were thrown out of the country. Just sealed up in used oil drums, taken down to the wharf, and thrown out. Over 5000 people, casually murdered. It is still a capital offense to be a practicing Christian there.Where do you smug, self-satisfied, arrogant hypocrites get off with claiming that Christians are a) never persecuted for their faith b) the perpetrators of their own persecution You participate in this persecution yourselves, every time you deny anyone the consideration you would otherwise give, just because they are Christian. You especially participate in it when you distort facts and make unfounded claims based on half-knowledge. If we were Jews, you would be horrified at the attacks, but as we are merely Christians it seems you think we are fair game for any slander you devise. Hutch
