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.

And why would you think that is? Could it be that if that is an identifiable position from the get go, it easier to use logic and common sense to solve problems?

This is even stated as such by the high prophet himself, Gordon Hinkley who stated, "The traditional Christ of whom they speak is not the Christ of whom I speak."
Incorrect.
So I just looked it up on the actual Mormon site to see what was said.
You should stop drinking the kool aid.
"President Hinckley is referring to the concept of Christ that has developed in the centuries since the Nicene Creed was formed—He is saying that we do not believe in non-Biblical creeds. This statement is quite correct: Latter-day Saints do not have some of the same beliefs about Christ that other Christian churches do. He is not saying that we do not believe in the Biblical Christ. In fact, the reason that Latter-day Saints do not accept these creeds is because they are non-Biblical. President Hinckley continued (with words usually omitted by critics):
Am I Christian? Of course I am. I believe in Christ. I talk of Christ. I pray through Christ. I'm trying to follow Him and live His gospel in my life."
Obvious bias is obvious.

It's amazing how so many religious people will twist and writhe to try and rationalize their ownership, stake or claim to a label. Or deny someone else's "right" to one.

Not so, Sobaki, but you do have to use the rules they play by. Since they literally are making stuff up as they go, you should feel free to do the same. i.e. When they say "god said so" you retort "no he didn't he told me this" and have fun with them.
BTW onin, you have me all wrong. It's not important to me to be an aetheist, it's important that I don't believe in ghosts and goblins or any other made up BS. In fact, it's a vocational requirement.

I suppose the fact that you are making up my argument as you go is lost on you.
Hate can turn a big mind into a very small one and you are a fine demonstration of that. You exhibit all of the faults of religion on a regular basis which proves my point that people are people whether God is involved or not.
