Mormon leaders, military veterans and elected officials reacted with anger to a new Department of Defense policy that does not consider The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be a Christian religion as part of a wider effort to cut down the U.S. military’s list of recognized faiths.
“The Pentagon’s decision to list The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints apart from other Christian faiths is wrong and needs to be corrected,” Republican Rep. Mike Kennedy, of heavily Mormon Utah, wrote on X on Sunday.
Personally, I think the whole heavenly father and heavenly mother being Mormons from a different planet as well as the lack of belief in the Trinity thing makes mormonism fundamentally different then “old and new testament only” Christianity.
But on the other hand, they can call themselves what ever they want, it doesn’t make their cult correct or their god real.
