The look on their faces should be priceless.
Your assuming that the fundies will get "in".
Imagine what happens that they were preaching the wrong thing all along!
Seriously, it never ceases to amaze me how many people there are out there who buy into everything they read about "the strange things those crazy Mormons believe." And these are the same people who call Mormons gullible.
I never thought of it that way..... but you're exactly right. We see it over and over on these threads when people use Straight Outta Carmton as their go-to source for all-things-Mormon. Gullible people believing whatever the heck they're told by some guy who gets things wrong.
I know a lot of Mormons, Mennonites and Hutterites.
The Mormons seem to be the most genuine happy, followed by the Hutterites. Mennonites give me an impression of being constantly dour, especially the women. Strange, as Hutterites are theoretically much more devout and set in their ways. The Hutterite men have a wicked sense of humor, although the women can be a bit withdrawn (they generally are subservient to males).
I can't see comparing Mormons, Mennonites and Hutterites. Mennonites and Hutterites are Christians. Also, a lot of sinners appear to be very happy living in their sin so I don't think the "happy" validates a religion or not.

What makes you say Mormons are not Christian? Is it the Trinitarian issue? What about Jehovah Witnesses?
Are you aware that a significant percentage, arguably the vast majority of early Christians, were non-Trinitarian? It's a long essay, but I am willing to lay it out if you are not aware of that.

Thanks for continuing to expose your prejudice against members of the LDS church. I think people with your beliefs should reveal themselves. But then you always do a bang-up job of letting people know just how extraordinary your thoughts are.
IIRC (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) you get through the day by picturing the people you don't like burning in hell.
