Quote:combined with the fact that Christians have been telling other Christians that they aren't really Christians for thousands of years. If someone claims to be a Christian, I don't really have any reason to disbelieve them, especially considering the fact that it's not our job to evaluate each claimant to see if he/she is a True Christian™. I'll still ask the same questions about their specific beliefs in order to discuss what they actually believe, but it's not my problem what label they want to use. If there's a sect of Christianity that has a fixation on the divinity of a Jesus-based scat fetish that somehow brings them closer to God, that might (and would) seem crazy as shit to me (hehe), but there's no rubric for evaluating who is a 'real' Christian, so the Jesus Scatologists can join the other 40,000 sects.
Again in the case of the mormons they supposedly follow the teaching of Moroni, and the Thrid testament which has nothing to do with
Christianity, that is why they adopted the name of Mormon rather than Christian
I guess you must have missed this:
