Please stop sending me ignorant net mail. I can not reply and you could as
well make your ignorant charges here. :-|

To him? Ask him. I believe his answer will be "yes". Anything considered
'valid' by a growing crowd of 10 million could well be worth looking into.
I'm not very conversant with Mormonism. Mormons I've known seem like good
people to me. (Even those with whom I disagree politically :-))

Yes it does. My opinions are law. Failure to recognize this is punishable
by extended whipping, followed by pie in your face.

I don't know what to make of that statement. Affects? In what way?
I'm dying to find out. Tell me!


  Why do you think they 
-> are so reticent to defend his faith and call it a branch of xianity?
Gee I don't know. They seem to be sneaking around on bicycles making two
year efforts to do the JW bit, knocking on doors (More charmingly) and
keeping their Mormon concepts secret. Yeah. You don't ask about Mormons;
you tell us about Mormons from an atheist point of view, and with
unbecoming hostility personally directed. You and you're BBQ, :-) You
haven't even lit the charcoal...    
-> 
-> That "little bit of trivia" about the book of Mormon has
the capacity

What on earth do you mean? That is not clear at all. "Superseding" means
what to you? And what do you mean "ALL" of Christianity? Where do you come
up with these ideas?


 Christians in India have very different views. A Church with the name
"...Jesus." in it...The Saints of these Latter Days are not Buddhist
saints...YOU get to decide who is Christian and who is not? You're a better
man than I am, Gunga Din, I certainly cannot.
