In the newspaper of record for all forms of hatred for Christ, a magic-undie-wearing LSD cultist finally comes clean. What he says won't surprise True Christians™, but honesty from a Mormoon will.
From the JYT:
I hope you'll be perfectly happy in hell, but in the meantime, thanks for your honesty. By the way, the point isn't what the Nicene Creed says about Christ, but what the Bible says about Christ.
From the JYT:
I’m a Mormon, Not a Christian
By DAVID V. MASON
I want to be on record about this. I’m about as genuine a Mormon as you’ll find — a templegoer with a Utah pedigree and an administrative position in a congregation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am also emphatically not a Christian.
For the curious, the dispute can be reduced to Jesus. Mormons assert that because they believe Jesus is divine, they are Christians by default. Christians respond that because Mormons don’t believe — in accordance with the Nicene Creed promulgated in the fourth century — that Jesus is also the Father and the Holy Spirit, the Jesus that Mormons have in mind is someone else altogether. The Mormon reaction is incredulity. The Christian retort is exasperation. Rinse and repeat.
