Clicked on the links you posted about the weird Mormon notion of God that's different from Christians'. QUite some eye-openers! And all from the Mormon church website!<br /><br />Personally I think it's quite dishonest that they're going around saying they believe in the same god Christians do.

Conjuring up a bogeyman to be responsible for unfavorable things that happens is no way of dealing with problems (aside from negating from any notion of <i>free will</i> or <i>free agency</i> ).

As amusing as it is, there is so much wrong with it. There is no 'opposition'. The missionaries are selling bullshit and that's why they fail most of the time.

I wouldn't normally think much about a presidential candidate's religion, but ever since I've gotten to know a few Mormons of late I'm quite alarmed by how much control the LDS Church seems to have of its active members.
