Now, now. Let's all remember that the Reverend Billy Graham took Mormons OFF the list of strange, dangerous and offensive non-Christian cults ... all in an effort to keep a black man out of the office of U.S. President.
And after all, what more proof do you NEED that Mormons are true Christians than to receive such an honor?
Less tongue in cheek, if any individual posting on these forums, or ever having done so, considers him or herself a Christian, then Mormons, fathers, father-in-laws and all ought to be so regarded by the rest of us - purely in the same way that I am actually an American, yet deserve the RIGHT to be considered a SPANIARD if I so choose.
In other words, who are we to decide whether another person is or is not actually a Christian? Let every Buddhist and Muslim GROUP, every religion or denomination CALL ITSELF CHRISTIAN if they like! I should hope most of us have the good sense to understand that in the only respect that matters, your good standing as a Christian (or Buddhist, or Muslim, etc.) is in fact something that is and must remain between God and yourself. How, does any of us suppose, it could be any different, in any wise, even if any of us WANTED it to be?
Excuse me for one moment while I step into the other room and squeeze into my Member's Only jacket ... from about 3 decades ago. When I return, I will insist that every one of you EXIT, unless you can produce exactly such a garment, and at least make the effort to squeeze into it.
By the way, it needs to be BLACK, like mine, and if it's any other color ~ it doesn't count.
But by all means, enjoy playing God wherever you decide to take your little party. I only know for certain one thing, and that's that those of us here in THIS room, wearing our black Member's Only jackets ... are the TRUE Christians, WE are the ones getting into Heaven, and WE are the only ones that God even recognizes when we pray at night. So as the Brits would say, for the rest of you: GET STUFFED!
And such nonsense is why I want nothing to do with Churchianity any more, be it the most exclusivist and narrow-minded Southern Baptist style, the high-and-mighty grand poobah focused Cathlick variety, or pretty much any of the remaining 99.9% in between. Here and there, in pockets which know full well who they are, what they are up to and WHY they are up to it, there are the brave, the humble, the unsuspecting (or rather, unsuspected by one's peers, in the most part) genuine Christian ... and these do as much as any other World Server to improve the world around - people, animals, environment, politics, medicine, communications, science, etc.
Would that we had more of such nature, far fewer who want only to play regular-holy-joe-by-day, super-christian-cop-by-night religious policeman.
