Still not as funny as the planets thing, how they believe the book of mormon came about and was translated, polygamy, their revelations about the humanity of black people, or my personal favourite - magical underpants.
All religions can pretty easily be made to seem ridiculous of course. Mormonism is so easy to see through that it becomes painful to realise it has a serious following.

That's because gay people are rightfully insistent that their attractions weren't a conscious decision whereas others believe they've fallen victim to unnatural desires. Anything less than that is seen as giving bigots a foothold. But sometimes I do believe the lgbt community would do well to admit there are gray areas instead of acting so condescending.

I don't think it's particularly reasonable to view sexual desires as chosen. Obviously, hardly anyone would be gay if it were a choice (given all the problems it typically creates for a person, especially in conservative societies). It also, actually, makes weak evolutionary sense, imo. I guess it may be affected by environment though.

This thread seems to point in that direction. We don't and for several reasons, one there's several different version of Protestantism, there's not a central authority deciding inter-sectrial doctrine. But also from a religious standpoint there's a giant difference. Protestants and Catholics use the same scriptures with the difference lying in the interpretation and the fact that protestants does not recognise the bishop of Rome as God's sole representant on Earth. Mormons on the other hand use new scriptures, they have prophets and a radical different doctrine which lies outside the Nicene Creed. As such one of the few things Catholic and Protestant theologians agree on, is that they recognise each others as Christians (with a few groups as exceptions) and that Mormons (and Jehovah's Witnesses) are not.
