They are more into religious aliens?
They believe God created the Universe (multiverse, etc) and everything in itā¦so I guess aliens would belong to the same God.
The mormons Iāve met have been a great bunch of people, Iām still not sure why they are required to wear red underwear though.
Itās not red

Youāre really going to double down on this? How exhaustingā¦
My stance is exactly this: very few things (at least wrt something like religion) can be as black and white or neatly fit into boxes as you seem to believe.
My ādefinitive statementsā as you call them are really just some opinions I hold and conclusions Iāve arrived to over time. I am not forcing anyone to agree, not even really trying to persuade. Just sharing my viewpoint, and explaining how arguments like yours just donāt really do anything to convince someone with opinions like mine.
Suffice it to say we just do not speak the same language. You seem to think it is very important to be right, whereas I donāt care near as much about being right. You donāt understand where Iām coming from. Thatās ok.
Explaining is basically persuading.
You cant lay out what you view like
A is this
B is this
C is this
Against an argument and then claim āoh Iām not trying to persuade youā
Why are you sharing your opinions then? You obviously have a stance, this I donāt have a stance but hereās what I believe in anyways is not consistent.

Why the hell not? Everyone else is!
Yet you feel that Mormons are Christians.
I never said i believe everything is black and white. I never talked about things I donāt fully know. For example, Iām not sure where I stand with baptism, so therefore I donāt try to articulate it and make a stance.
You seem to think my stance is uniquely mine. As you said itās my view and my view alone. not true. Iām not drawing what Iām saying on nothing. They come from other theologians far better than me. You on the other hand, have never studied theology to any extent that you yourself said qualified as someone that can objectively say things about two different religions. You never go in-depth into anything like other posters who actually have some backing in their ideas. You are literally just doing what you said Iām doing. Saying things from what you believe and what you alone. believe.
Hereās me and you talking
Me: This is one reason why Mormonism is different. Explain it in depth. Give some quotes and explain it.
You: I know some Mormons and they are like this. They are Christians. Ok
Thereās no point to this kind of dialogue @Andrew0409. She can share her opinions etc. if she wants. Thereās no call to dissect her way of doing so. If you want to respond to her just address the message please, otherwise I suggest not responding.

Just going by the dictionary definition of a Christian, and the Christian-like behavior of the Mormons I know, it seems true! So, I havenāt felt a need to question it, and nothing that has been said has really changed my mind.
Let me amend what I said: I understand that you, and many other people with beliefs similar to yours, share your opinion. Iām still not convinced. Thatās all.
Thereās no end to this, honestly. Just let it be. You donāt understand what planet I fell from. You think Iām dumber and less informed than allll the other posters. Meh. The end.
Youāre confused, Taiwanese wear red underwear on special days.
Many believe they are Christian.
Did anybody think to just post this?

They identify as Christian. Some may disagree, but you donāt really get to make the rules just because they donāt want to be affiliated or they donāt fit into your specific mold.
We already covered they say theyāre Christians.
Why do they get to make the rules theyāre Christians and the other group canāt.
Other groups can claim to be Christian, canāt they?
Anyone can claim to be anythingā¦
ā¦I could claim to be the Panchen Llamaā¦

As I said before. There are fundamental differences I went over that would seem to disqualify them to be the same.
