Dear Mormons
You seem like nice people. But the angel Moroni?
Mike__Lafferty (mail):
apostates - and heretics. The angel Moroni is only the tip of the strangeness iceberg here.

They distort the Christain faith and are energetically and actively seeking to recruit others to their distorted version.

I really don't know why Christian's aren't more upset about this.

Mike,

Have you ever met a mormon? They're the nicest people by like a factor of 10.

Yes, they are very nice. But apostates and heretics nonetheless :)

Bill said exactly what I was going to say.

Yes, some of my closest friends growing up were Mormons - next door neighbors, actually.

Well, if you've met them and know that they're among the nicest people on earth, you should know why Christians aren't more upset about that.

(by the final "that", I meant, "They distort the Christain faith and are energetically and actively seeking to recruit others to their distorted version.")

Though at one time, before the mormons were driven into Utah, many christians were.

I also suspect that given the huge trend towards secularism in our culture, the mormons are in general the least of our worries.

I'll second the 'nicest people' bit - at least mostly.

But honestly. Who could believe that an Egyptian Hieroglyphic text stamped in gold plates was discovered in western New York that magically translated to be exactly parallel to the the King James version of the Bible (in huge sections, the KJV finding it's origins in the Greek and Hebrew), and subsequently the gold plates magically disappear? It's just plain impossible, but the Mormons believe it. Cue the Twilight Zone music....

Peace,
TWS

I've always thought the name "Moron-I" was no coincidence.

However much I agree with some of the comments above, this seems a bit of a dangerous road to follow (though IB Bill you are apparently into that danger thing). The whole glass house thing.

Although if I have to hear "religion of peace" line one more time not paired with massive criticism of declaring death sentences on anyone and everyone that makes a potentially unfavorable assessment of Islam, my eyes are going to roll so far up into my head I might have an accident. I've stopped listening to news on the radio in car for safety sake.

At least the Mormons haven't strapped a vest of explosives mixed with tacks and nails around their body and blown themselves up in a crowd on non-Mormon's in the name of God.
