...it’s been shown that individuals that reject so-called “Mormonism” almost invariably turn to atheism and start fighting against Christianity... Why do you think this is so?

My point exactly. This was posed to me in a mormon forum, more than once. I don't agree with it and I wanted a Christian perspective.

What are you talking about? Most people that reject Mormonism, are Christians themselves.

I’ve actually had this conversation with several other members of the Church: if you stopped believing in the Church of Jesus Christ, is there some other Church you would belong to? The answer has basically been unanimous: “I’d have to become an atheist, because I don’t know of a single other religion that makes a darned bit of sense.” While some have admitted that they might look into Eastern religions (e.g. Buddhism, Islám, etc.) so they can learn what they teach and thus make an informed decision, there has been little confidence that they would find anything there, either. So basically what it comes down to is: why would someone want to leave a religion that answers life’s most important questions and join one that doesn’t? You, the reader, may agree or disagree with this assessment, but that’s still the general consensus—and this from people that *have* studied other religions, some of us rather extensively. HTH!

I submit that it has less to do with LDS people ostracizing a person and more to do with the nefarious methods used by so many anti-mormons. If, as happens so many times these days, a person is bullied into leaving the LDS church by so-called "Christians" because that person was supposedly "deceived", that person is going to be even more wary of the same people who are telling him to leave. For if he was supposedly deceived by one church, what's to say that the next one coming along won't deceive him all the more? This is actually an admission (confession?) by an anti-LDS antagonist. Here's the article he wrote about it. http://ldstalk.wordpress.com/2007/09/26/we-push-them-out-into-what/ . Lola, and other anti-Mormon screed-writers, I think you could learn a thing or two from it.
