Have you ever actually got to know an active Mormon well enough to know that by their religion, they resist all of the unholy adjectives you have ascribed to them. My Mormon friends are good people and I enjoy being around them as much as I enjoy being around other Christians.
You may think that the state of Utah is 90% Mormon, but since Utah is such a successful state, primarily due to the Mormon influence, and the natural beauty of the state, lots of non-Mormons are moving in fast. The % of Mormons is probably around 50% now. So the statistics that you quoted must factor that in. In fact if you were to do an intensive study, you would find that active Mormons would make up a very small %, if none, of the domestic violence you again heap on them.
So when you bash a group of people who are not present to defend themselves, take a little more time to do your due diligence, you may find an entirely different senerio than what you have presented here.
They are not Christians, and since when does putting on a good appearance make one a Christian.
Romans 3:12 (HCSB)
[SUP]
12 [/SUP] All have turned away; all alike have become useless.
There is no one who does what is good, not even one.
2 Corinthians 11:3-4 (NKJV)
[SUP]
3 [/SUP] But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
[SUP]
4 [/SUP] For if he who comes preaches
another Jesus whom we have not preached, or
if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or
a different gospel which you have not accepted--
you may well put up with it!
The late Mormon Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley, who died in 2008, stated in one of his last sermons from the pulpit in Salt Lake City, "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints teaches a different Jesus Christ than the rest of the Churches."
Mormons do believe that the Mormon Jesus and Satan are brothers, and both were born spirit children or OFFSPRING OF THE FATHER. You can read that for yourself on several Mormon sites, which I will NOT post here.
Christianity believe that Jesus is GOD in the Flesh.
Galatians 1:8-9 (NASB)
[SUP]
8 [/SUP] But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you
a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you,
he is to be accursed!
[SUP]
9 [/SUP] As we have said before, so I say again now,
if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received,
he is to be accursed!
BEWARE!!
2 Corinthians 11:13-15 (NKJV)
[SUP]
13 [/SUP] For such
are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.
[SUP]
14 [/SUP] And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.
[SUP]
15 [/SUP] Therefore
it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
