I AM Christian. Why do some feel they have the right to take this away from someone? No, you do not have a monopoly on Christ. The practice of condemning people and telling them that "You are not Christian, but I am" is intolerance and biogtry, and, you do not have a monopoly on Jesus Christ. He is the center of my life and we strive our best to keep Him the center of our home in all we do. It's interesting to me that Mormonism has caught such flack from the media. Why is it that other religions are left alone? If you are going to judge one political candidate based on his religious beliefs I would hope you would likewise and equally do so for the other candidates. This isn't a plug for Mitt Romney although I do really like his plan for our country, it is simply an example of the ever present, scrutinizing eyes that are zeroed in on us "Mormons". And although I say that I don't understand why we catch such hateful flack and why people argue that we are not Christians, I do really. Not because it is a true statement in any regard, but because it is the quickest way to get any good Christian not to consider the truths of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. If I weren't into doing my own research and digging deeper than what I heard from my Pastor or Preacher on Sunday, I would likely not check into the Mormon church because I was simply told that "they aren't Christian." It is the quickest ploy to keep a congregation coming to support a paid ministry and sadly the quickest way to keep believers from the truth. With all respect to good men and women who teach from the bible the word of God, I do believe that is true and good. But it isn't all. Don't be deceived...ask a Mormon what we believe. I have a testimony of the Restored Gospel and even if all the temptations and powers of the devil combined against me, I would not deny it.

FYI: This post was motivated by my sweet born again neighbor who just informed me that she does not believe I am a Christian. Well, let me tell you, I am. And I will be happy to tell her and anyone else why, just give me a few minutes of your time. It might help to read the following- The Living Christ: The Testimony of the Apostles.
