Christianity vs Mormonism

[_Boaz & Lidia]

Well because the Bible says it's true of course.

Also because America is a Christian nation and we're also the most successful nation in the world. Coincidence? I think not.

(These are not my answers actually but my summation of quite a few religious discussions.)

So then, years ago, when the other nations had their turn at being the "most successful" was it due to the religion that they were practicing?

Good grief.

And when the US is no longer "the most successful" nation(yes it will and is happening), what will you say if the new #1 nation/country are not a christian majority??

And the most humble/modest one.

I'd like to hear the reasons why Christianity is true, literally, but not Mormonism. I disbelieve Mormonism because I don't believe in a God at all. I think Christianity is just as ridiculous - and false - as Mormonism, but I'm willing to consider some good evidence and argument...

Mormonism has added a little more falsity and ridiculosity (is there such word? even an archaic one?) to the christianity.
Do You want a (not complete) list?

I think MM is being facetious?? (i hope, eh :-) Warm regards, Roger

Yes, to be clear that was not my personal opinion.

My experience has been that, as a person who has left one religion, I do attract those who wish to 'save' me. When asked - why should I believe in your religion over the religion of my family - these are the responses I receive.

It doesn't matter how moderate, Christianity in any form.

Why do you think Christianity is just as ridiculous -and false-as Mormonism?

I think it presupposes things that are manifestly false, as does Mormonism.

Will you list examples of that?

Sure, I'd love to. I assume you mean examples for Christianity, so here are a couple just off the top of my head:

A global flood that cleansed the earth, a water vessel that held two of every species on the planet, pregnancy without sex, diseases are caused by sins, two people, named Adam and Eve, are the creators of the human population, something named God created the Earth in about 7 days - or at least in 6 steps.
These things I believe are manifestly false to anyone who has made it past the fifth grade.

I'm sure I'm missing some obvious ones, and there are other things that I find morally wrong in the Bible, I can list those as well if you'd like.

[...] pregnancy without sex [...]

These things I believe are manifestly false to anyone who has made it past the fifth grade.

You sure 'bout this one?

Positive. Unless the Bible mentions sperm bank...
