All this does is show the weird christian tendency to ignore the fact that other religions exist when constructing their arguments.
I'm well aware of the claims of other religions, and have spent a fair amount of time looking at them. When I see a new one, I'll check it out, case by case.
With Mormon for example, the tendency of the witnesses to do a theological hokey-cokey, together with the changes in belief providing no evidential weight, suggest to me that the historical data is better explained in ways other than those claimed by the religion. And the tea thing. I like tea.
Case by case. When all is said and done, I think Xianity offers a better worldview explanation for the data than alternate options. (Are you making assumptions about me believing in “Christianity alone”? Just a thought.)
