What I'd like to know is how is one's religion fair game
to ANY topic in game shows?
And it's funny that so many folks have said his religion
isn't one of the "mainstream" religions... Mormonism
ISN'T Christian? Do folks have any clue what they're talking
about? Take a look at the name of his church (for those that
DON'T know, it's The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints).
I challenge ANYONE on this board to show me a religion
that has the very words: JESUS CHRIST in the title and
further tell me that religion ISN'T Christian! [/quote]
Sadly, even though it does indeed say that in the name, it is not considered part of the Christian religion. The Mormon beliefs are actually different than Christians. And the addition of The Book Of Mormon doesn't exactly help their cause either.
Two New Testament passages bear this out. One, where Jesus says that many will come in His name claiming to be from Him, when in fact they're not. And two, in the last few verses of Revelation, it talks about if you add to this Book (in this case, The Bible) you will add to your curses in Heaven, and if you subtract, God will erase your name from the Lamb's Book Of Life.
Then again, Islam claims "Abrahamic" roots, but their religion is run about the same way as the Mormons, except by some accounts, they promote violence where Mormons don't.
