... tend to view Mormonism as Christians who have been sidetracked. Pretty much the same way mainliners view fundamentalist offshoots, and of course, the Roman Catholic church, and to a lesser extent the Orthodox church.

I do view Mormons as Christians, just sidetracked ones.

I'd disagree with you ... I grew up with Catholics, graduated from a Jesuit University too ...

I disagree; R's don't really want any of that stuff. Republicans are fascists. Fascists want power.
