My Beef With Mormonism

After my last post, I feel the need to state my beef. I don't care about whether or not Mormons wear magic underwear or even if it should be considered Christianity at all. I've studied it a bit in college and it seems just as reasonable as any other religion. Religions can get pretty crazy. Who cares if they don't eat chocolate?

I don't want to judge them. All I can say is that I don't agree with their views on salvation and heaven and that's it. So, all that means is that I'm not a Mormon. They believe that salvation comes through work and has to be earned. In turn, those who have done better work have a higher position in heaven. It makes sense to them, but not to me. I believe that there is nothing I can do to make God love me any more or any less and that all who accept Christ's resurrection as the atonement of humanity are freed. That acceptance leads to good works, not the other way around.

So again, I'm not a Mormon. We disagree on the afterlife and who gets in where. I hope that doesn't mean that in this life we can't share a meal or have a civilized discussion. So, I can say that I have a beef with Mormonism, but I'm fine with Mormons.

Thank you for your comments. It's a little annoying when people tell us Mormons we are stupid or unChristian so I appreciate the fact that you aren't judging. You have no idea how much that means to me because we definitely get judged a lot. That being said, Mormons definitely eat chocolate. I don't know how I would survive if I couldn't.
