Polycarp, I have thought about that question too, and I think it is a valid thing to ask. I think that if Mormon missionaries came across an Evangelical, they would try to convert them. But the extension of the question is this...don't Baptists think they are right? They try to convert Mormons, and rejoice when a Catholic comes into the fold. Haven't Catholics said that they are the only true faith? They believe everyone must confess their sins to the proper authority. When it comes down to it, everyone thinks they are right--that is not the point of this article and discussion. I think the point is, can people with compatible positions of morality and conviction work with others, be tolerant of their differing doctrines, and together accomplish the greater good? As I said in my last post, that is why I think Jesus used the Samaritans as examples of the type of service He approves of.

Frank Whistle shows his complete ignorance of Latter-Day Saints and their real beliefs. If Mr. Whistle and others want to know what they believe then they should ask the Mormons. If I wanted to know what evangelicals believe I would ask them. I would not go to a Catholic Priest or a Rabbi or Imam. Go to www.mormon.org and you can find out for yourself. Then you can criticize and condemn all you want because you will at least have facts on which to base your opinion.

Evangelicals can't even figure out how to vote for a competent government executive, because they actually believe every politician who claims to believe the way they do. As long as that politician is a Republican. How many excuses are you going to make until you realize that it's really really easy to lie to you? You just get lied to all the time. Most non-evangelicals can see that you are being played. But you just got some kind of blindness. You're kind of like an abused spouse. You take the one or two gestures of goodness and use them to excuse years of lying and abuse. Liberals at least know when they are being lied to and they get upset about it. You all just lie there and let it happen. It's sad. Seriously. It's like you are the only ones who can't see how pathetic it is.
