   Speaking as a Seventh Day Adventist I am interested to know why a SDA 
would be in the same list as a Mormon, Atheist, Agnostic... even a 
Wiccan.   If I were Jehovah's Witness I would be equally insulted to be 
in a list with those other belief systems. 
  
The SDA church follows the bible.  Period.  There are aspects of it 
that make it unique, but that withstanding the main focus is the bible 
and God's word. 
  
I find it interesting that in that list of Churchs with unique slants 
to them, that the Catholic church is not mentioned.  Their bible has 
special books unique to the Catholic church. 
  
Wiccan has nothing to do with Christianity, unless they subscribe to 
some druidic/Christian hybrid religion or something.  Wiccan is a very 
broad term. 
  
But honestly, why is Jehovah's Witness and SDA on this list that would 
inply non-Christian beliefs?

PS:   For the Mormons out there, yes, you do have the bible as part of 
your faith, but making Joseph Smith part of the Godhead does make that 
belief system hard to defend as a standard Christian belief.
