Very excellent question, Ant. I wonder the same thing. Unfortunately, I think most of the people that take issue with this happen to be TB Mormon.
Ed Decker was right....Mormons ARE Pagans!

Re: Ed Decker was right....Mormons ARE Pagans!
For someone who has never understood the Gospel of Jesus Christ, what I wrote does not make sense.
Gospel: No promise of "any" earthly blessings. "In this world ye shall have tribulation". Heavenly treasures only.
Pagans: Go to temple(s) in order to get "blessings" which are material gains such as sex, beautiful spouse, healthy children, success in business, protection in travel.
Mormons: see "Pagans"

The Nehor wrote:daheshism wrote:All Pagans worship "God" or "gods". They build temples to elephants, rats, monkies, or spirit-gods like the Kami of Japan. Why? For one purpose: to "get things" from the gods.
And this makes Mormons pagans? Did I miss the monkey god temple in my travelling? That sounds fun.
Oh, and let me jump to the defense of my pagan friends.
Your understanding of paganism (focusing on Shinto for some reason without saying so) is about as informed as your take on Mormonism. You know nothing of either. Stick to what you know my friend:
Hatred.
