Because its full of BS.
Jesus in america, golden plates, an angel called moroni, etc.
Im not saying mormons are the worst people, Im saying their religion is one of the worst.

Heck, just a few years ago they decided that you were entitled to equal rights even if you weren't white-skinned. Of course, that doesn't apply if you happen to homosexual (even if you are white.)

and yet From 1849 to 1978, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) had a policy against ordaining black men of African descent to the priesthood. Under the same policy, black men and women of African descent were prohibited from participating in the temple Endowment and sealings, ordinances that the church teaches are necessary for the highest degree of salvation.

To this very day, the Catholic Church has a policy against ordaining women to the priesthood.

Originally posted by rwingett How is Hominidae a family? The differences between one hominid and another can be as wide as that between any other family. What would an orangutan have in common with a chimpanzee? How in any way could a gorilla be said to belong to the same family as a human?
A good criterion would be genetic relatedness, shared physical characteristics or a common origin. Hominidae have a strong resemblance to one another. For Christianity, I don't see that at all. And I don't see it as useful to talk about Christianity as a religion when discussing worst 'religion'. Christians are not homogeneous; they are as different from one another as ethnicities or nationalities.

Originally posted by FabianFnas One definition that collects all christians into the same religion might be:

In this context, yes, christianity is a religion. One part of the Abrahamian monotheistic religion.
Well, Christians do disagree about the interpretation of John 3:16 and the second definition is just plain circular. What are Christians? Those who identify under Christianity? And what is Christianity? The totality of Christians. Brilliant.
