Sorry - not christian. Youre going to hell.



I hope I get a window seat!



HA busted! I knew it. You really wanted to go to hell. Proves my point.

Had you repented when i said youd go to hell then id know your heart was in the right place.

One of the most important messages of the New Testament is how bad people are at "believing" in God and following God's will. One of targets of Jesus were those who said they believe and then don't follow God's will. Then there are those who are outcasts because they are not believers but follow God's will.


It is amazing to see this same stuff being argued about today. Who cares what people call themselves? People that call themselves Christian and think it means anything by itself are deluded. Seeing this kind of inane behavior in Christians is bad enough but to see it in atheists is just sad. WTF is the point of rejecting religion if you don't actually get rid of all the crap that comes with religion?


A better question thatn asking if Mormon's are Christian is asking whether or not they follow the path of Christ? Do they follow the golden rule?


People caught up on theology and the interpretation of specific lines in the Bible are missing the point.

Well obviously. But I don't think it's a particularly novel observation to say that modern Christians are often guilty of the same things that Jesus ranted about.


Putting the letter over the spirit has been pretty pervasive throughout human history, religious or not.

Being a good person means nothing in the big picture. Good or bad has no real value since its subjective. Collecting taxes is bad for some and good or others.

I dont know if mormons are especially good people - i havent really met any that seemed any different than anyone else.

It is the obvious part that makes it the most annoying.

I guess. It's just people being people.


I agree whether or not a specific denomination is christian or not shouldn't be a very important question. But it clearly is to some people.

Being atheist is also very important to people like Enk.

People like to have an identity and putting labels on yourself and others is the lazy man's way to do that.
