Comment to Mormon Intolerance I just have a comment to say to the person who wrote "Mormon Intolerence" The Mormon Religion brings out the real truth in Jesus Christ. I know this because I'm LDS and I believe the LDS church is true and I believe the Prophet John Smith was true and not matter what anyone else says I believe it and I love it everyone is family in the Church and it teaches right from wrong in a good way. -- Lindsay Foland (linds_13@hotmail.com ) 12/16/99 (#14)

Mormon Intolerance I am not here to say that religion is wrong but I am here to say that the Mormon Religion is the most intolerant religion I have seen. If you are from any other religion,or homosexual, they look down on you. Why cant' they respect everyone for who they are? God would never act this way towards people. He loves all- not a "selected few". -- Anonymous (jocie809@hotmail.com ) 3/23/99 (#13)

The "Holy Spirit" of the Mormon Church I am a former Mormon. I honestly think satan is the power behind the Mormon church. You cannot believe how many Mormons I knew who were seeing demons and getting visitations from supposedly their loved ones who told them the church was true. Satan is the ultimate deceiver. These friends of mine saw this as a sign that the church was true. I truly believe satan deceives them this way. How many Christians have scary beings telling them that Christianity is true? We get our inspiration from God directly, and demons have no part in it. -- Janet (exmormon@excite.com ) 2/21/99 (#12)
