Why do people dislike Mormons so much when they cannot prove anything is wrong with them?

Question

Standard of Liberty · Accepted Answer

Because many over zealous Christians are taught in their churches by their Pastors that we are Satan worshipers and that they should do everything they can to fight 'those Mormons'.

Disagreeing with someone is not the same thing as disliking someone.  Just because everyone doesn't embrace your beliefs with open arms doesn't mean you are being persecuted.  And just because the official church-endorsed version of church history supports the church's foundational claims (gasp, what a shocker) does not mean that nobody can point out things that are wrong with Mormonism.

Well lets see... they wear magic underwear, they believe black people are the cursed descendants of Cain, and they baptist their dead (even if the dead person is an atheist, like what Mitt Romney did to his father in law)... I have never met a Mormon and i dont think anything would be wrong with them personally, but those are just a few things that turn me off of the religion.

I don't dislike Mormons.  Their theology is skewed.  They preach another Jesus and another gospel and hold the uninspired writings of men like Smith on a par with God's inspired word, the Bible.

I don't dislike them (most are quite, friendly).  But the things they believe are ludicrous even when compared to other unfounded, illogical religious claims.

Why did people hate Jesus Christ after Jesus Christ helped 
the lame to be healed and to walk???

Mormons give more money to charity than any other group of people in the world and 
no other group of people in the world is even in the same ballpark
according to income tax returns.

That is why many people hate members of 
THE Church Of JESUS CHRIST Of Latter Day Saints.

So to some people, deep in their subconscious mind, 
there is nothing worse than helping other people.  Nothing.   
Nothing whatsoever.

What members of THE Church Of JESUS CHRIST Of Latter Day Saints 
believe in is Jesus Christ and 
keeping the commandments of Jesus Christ, and 
becoming one with Jesus Christ.

Mormons love Jesus Christ and 
they love the person that they are married to.  
While the haters are hating, 
the Mormons are loving and 
celebrating life not the sins of the world.

They are filled with hate towards anything that is different.  Mormons are at least kind towards other beliefs.
