Pride nights need to be canceled in all sports. Professional athletes should not forced to wear rainbows on their uniforms. It’s ridiculous.

All you’re doing is ignoring the facts.

How many times has trump claimed we have won the war? 50? 60?

Israel is the worst “ally” we could have in this situation because they will always sabotage peace. Trump can claim victory 1000 times but the straits are still closed and the oil reserves are being depleted daily.

The “deal” will always be sabotaged by Israel. They will never stop.

As predicted months ago, Iran put a strangle hold on the world wide oil markets and had us by the balls.

He’s been a total let down during this term. This “war” is a drag.

Trump IS the establishment now. He is right alongside the neocons we thought he’d dismiss. Instead he’s supporting them day after day. How anyone can think he’s “draining the swamp” at this point is beyond me.

He’s bathing in the swamp.

Jesus is the spirit brother of Lucifer and all humans, the "firstborn" in a pre-mortal spirit existence.

He is a god (Jehovah) but not the eternal, unique God.

Salvation involves faith, works, ordinances (including temple rites), and potential exaltation.

Mainstream views emphasize justification by grace through faith alone (Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 1).

LDS teaches a works-enhanced plan with multiple levels of heaven, proxy baptisms for the dead, and exaltation to godhood.

It's a kooky magical bastardized version of "christianity" developed by a pedofile conman.

Mormons believe that God was once a man who progressed to godhood on another world.

There are multiple gods (or potential for them). Humans who achieve exaltation can become gods, create spirit children, and rule their own worlds.

This is tied to "eternal progression."

All humans existed as spirit intelligences before birth in a "pre-mortal life" with Heavenly Father and Mother.

A council in heaven planned the earth; Jesus (not Lucifer) was chosen as Savior.
Exaltation: Faithful members can become like God—gods with eternal families, spirit offspring, and creative power.
Salvation has degrees of glory (Celestial, Terrestrial, Telestial); most people are saved in some kingdom.

The Book of Mormon is a literal historical record of ancient Israelites who migrated to the Americas 600 BC, with wars, prophets, and a visit by the resurrected Jesus.

It was translated from golden plates via the Urim and Thummim (and a seer stone in a hat).
Additional scriptures: Doctrine and Covenants (modern revelations), Pearl of Great Price (including the Book of Abraham, translated from Egyptian papyri).
Ongoing revelation through living prophets, who can receive new doctrine. The church was restored after a "Great Apostasy" corrupted earlier Christianity.

Baptism for the dead (proxy ordinances in temples) so ancestors can accept the gospel in the spirit world.
Endowment ceremonies: Sacred temple rituals involving covenants, symbolic clothing (temple garments worn daily under clothes), and washing/anointing. These were influenced by Freemasonry in presentation.
Celestial marriage (eternal families sealed in temples).

No original sin: Humans are not born totally depraved; Adam's fall was necessary for progress ("fortunate fall"). People are punished for their own sins.
Word of Wisdom: Health code prohibiting alcohol, tobacco, coffee, tea, and illegal drugs (revealed as modern commandment).
Historical practices: Polygamy (plural marriage) commanded by God in the 19th century, practiced until 1890 (officially discontinued; some fundamentalist splinter groups continue it).
Past teachings on race: Black members barred from priesthood/temple until 1978 (now fully reversed and disavowed as past folklore).

Kolob: A star/planet near God's throne mentioned in the Book of Abraham.

Words have meanings shaped by history and usage.

"Christian" historically means adherence to the faith centered on the incarnate, crucified, risen Son of the one God, as summarized in creeds like the Apostles' and Nicene, with the Bible as sufficient Scripture.

Groups can self-identify however they want, but that doesn't rewrite theology or history. Mormons have genuine differences: nature of God (eternal spirit vs. exalted man), plurality of gods, ongoing revelation, salvation mechanics (faith + works + ordinances + potential exaltation), etc.

These aren't minor variations like baptism modes between Baptists and Presbyterians. They're foundational.

People can admire Mormon ethics, community, or family values without pretending it's the same religion.

Truth-seeking means acknowledging real divergences rather than blurring lines for politeness.

Early church leaders didn't hesitate to call out distortions—they saw the stakes as eternal.

Mormons aren’t Christian.

MAGA is dead. He’s not wrong. MAGA went from American first to Israel first.
