I'm like the people who have escaped from Cuba. Once they experienced freedom they could not, they would not go back to slavery. SPIRITUAL SLAVERY IS AS BAD OR WORSE THAN PHYSICAL SLAVERY. I will fight 'till my dying breath for the freedom I have found in Christ.. I lived many years under spiritual bondage. Praise God I am free. My favorite NT book is Galatians. "WHOM CHRIST HAS MADE FREE IS FREE INDEED."
i'm not the #1 fan ofSanta, but i'd take him and Rudolph over JS and Adolf Hitler any day

Now if the "Doctrine of Origins" does not matter, what is the difference between J. Smith and Santa Clause? Isn't he using the name of Jesus? Don't they help orphans and celebrate the Pagan/Catholic holiday, Christmas? Don't they win millions to Jesus worldwide?
Dave H:
"in sum, then, the Mormon desire to be Christian, not Evangelical/Protestant (apparently assuaged by DavidM acc to DaveH) would be (perhaps, is,) irrelevant, misguided, naive, and ignorant of the meaning of biblical/church history--but, as i said, i'm still thinkin' about it:-)"
