What makes you think that Mormons aren't Christians?

[–] albbi@piefed.ca 14 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Mormons have their own book which is basically fan-fic of the bible and new testament. So it's kinda like if you met someone who calls themselves a Trekkie, but they've never seen any of the shows and have only read fan-fic. Would a Trekkie accept them as one of their own?

[–] Spitefire@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Mormons read the Bible. They'd be Trek super-fans who think their favorite fic-writer is better than Roddenberry, but they would have watched ToS and NG at least.

Source: raised cultist. Have a Mormon "quad" of all the holy texts somewhere in storage.

Are you saying that Mormons don't follow the Bible? Because that's simply not true. They added to it.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

And how come the new testament isn't "fan fic" of the torah?

They're polytheistic for one, and think they can become their own god of a planet if they're 'good' enough.

That sounds kinda similar to catholic saints ...

Wait, I thought it was heaven, men’s heaven, men’s super heaven, and men’s super duper heaven. You’re telling me there’s a super *de duper heaven?

Kinda, this is for the super duper extra good double stampies no erasies Mormons. When they die, they get to super Saiyan transform into a god-heir right up there with Jesus and eventually get their own planet to rule over like their god rules here.

And I'm only being a little flippant, Exaltation is a wacky belief.

This is unequivocally blasphemy of the highest order. If more people knew about this, Mormons would be viewed nearly as strangely as jehova’s witnesses

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

They have this part in their scripture where they say that all of Christianity's creeds and tenets are an abomination.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Because they aren't.
