Thats just my point of view.

Wow! Thanx for reply me. So good to see a view like yours. I am happy to know that LDS people are like you know I really thought.

As for mormons in general? I've done a decent amount of study of the mormon religion in the past 15 years to know that the religion as a whole is just plain wrong and unbiblical.

Thnx for comment, but let me see if I understand: 15 long years? Why so much interest in seeing what's wrong?

It's not just mormonism.

15 years ago when I became a Christian I had a roommate that was studying with the jehovah's witnesses. He really shook my faith and made me question some things.

I responded by getting a book to see what they believe, and how their beliefs differed from Biblical Christianity. I developed a love of apologetics--which led me into studying mormonism, islam, etc.

Mormons are among the nicest group of people you'll meet...and I mean no disrespect to you personally, but I just believe your system of belief has some pretty big holes in it.

How so? The mormon church is among the first ones to tell anyone who is not mormon worse than that.

I have known many, my family had a farm in Idaho many of the kids I hung out with were Mormon farmers. They were respectful and kind, invited me to family bbq and such, even though they knew we did not believe as them.
