The bible says to judge a tree by its fruits. How can anyone take an honest look at the "fruits" of Christianity and not realize that it is a false religion? I'll share a "dirty little secret" about what some Mormons (but not all Mormons) think about "so-called Christians".
We secretly believe that the son of our God (Jesus) died on the cross but that Christians are taking advantage of the most magnanimous act that God ever did and have usurped God's sacrifice for their own selfish purposes & self-interests. Do you know how many "so-called Christians" actually read the bible and know what's in it? Some of us Mormons do -- I don't want to share too many of our methods but we secretly study them and verify our beliefs about "so-called Christians" and enter our combined data into spreadsheets.
Less than 1/5 of Christians actually read the bible and know what's in it. If you don't believe me, go to Wikipedia and search for "the list of books that are included in the bible" and join a Christian discord or strike up a "reddit friendship" with a Christian and act like you are their friend and ask them the following easy question:
Tell me 2 things that happened or are described in the book of <random> from the bible? 🤔
Between 80% - 90% of Christians will fail this easy task outside the most obvious books (such as Genesis where God made Adam & Eve) or the 4 gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) where all the Jesus-stuff happened...
Therefore, let us glory, yea, we will glory in the Lord; yes, we will rejoice, for our joy is full; yea, we will praise our God forever. Behold, who can glory too much in the Lord? Yea, who can say too much of his great power, and of his mercy, and of his long-suffering towards to children of men? Behold, I say unto you, I cannot say the smallest part which I feel. 🙏
