Recall that many Christians don't consider Mormons to be true Christians,
just as many psychologists don't consider Est to be true psychotherapy.

/*  this is not a statement of opinion.  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.
