Virtually everyone has a more sound Christology than Mormons. Tom Send a noteboard - 07/10/2011 06:45:45 PM
I mean, outside a few cults that don't have any traction in society, I can't think of a more unsound religion than Mormonism (note: I don't consider Scientology a religion. If I did, I must confess it would occupy that dubious place).

Think of Catholic and Orthodox theology as the difference between physicists and mathematicians. They both arrive at the same conclusions but they use different annotations. Lutherans are like engineers. They use the conclusions but avoid a lot of the theory and focus on the more practical aspects. Anglicans are applied physicists - they could do without all the quantum things but still seem to be physicists. Taking the analogy down the line, Mormons are like a class of retarded children who were accidentally shipped physics textbooks and decided that they, too, were physicists.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
