And we already did this.
 
Orthodox Christian but unlike my Mormon friend here I consider it to be the one true Christian denomination(or else he wouldn't need to specify it).
 
You're right, I wouldn't say I consider my religion the only one with a basis, as I still have much to learn, and I'm not entirely sure what I think at the moment. I was raised in a Mormon household by my father, in a town of Mormon people, and I was taught to be open about my beliefs, and thus I use the label that people will understand, rather than just calling myself a Christian. I believe that if God is who I've been taught, he will find a way to lead me, through this religion or another. I believe that he will find a way to instill good values and morals in me, even if I'm unsure of some things, and that by following him, I can be good to those around me. I admit my shortcomings, though, I am prone to being misled sometimes, I'm guilty of anger and other things I know I shouldn't be, and I am still a long way from being the kind of person I believe he wants me to be. I apologize if I've offended you in some way.
I personally don't like Mormonism because it says that some can become Gods and Goddesses when they die which is an insanely heretical belief. But take time to find who (You) believe in friend.

And no you haven't offended me.
 
I, personally, have never been to Utah and have only seen a single Mormon in the wild. She was a ginger, and yes I'll agree with you, very attractive.

It's possible her bangs and glasses were hiding her forehead though.

A lot of Mormons roll through my area. I go to school with some. They're good people, but they obviously don't know much of what they truly believe. Most don't know anything about their actual theology besides the very basic beliefs, and even then most don't actually seem that confident in things like ascending to godhood or the cosmology of the religion., either. Even trying to shove all of the heresy that defies Christianity out of the way, I simply don't see how the Mormon church could be something to hold confidence in if I were a believer in the Book of Mormon.
Just for one showcase of the church's integrity, let's take the status of the Negro in the Mormon faith into consideration. First, the belief is that Africans were created out of people who remained neutral during a conflict that is written to have happened between Jesus and Lucifer while everyone was in the cosmos, turning the fence-sitters into Black people as punishment. This belief stays until the 1960s, when racial status reform and Civil Rights are underway in the U.S. Then, suddenly, the Prophet-President gets a notification from God, conveniently, that Blacks can now be in the Mormon priesthood, but they're still a cursed people. Some years later, in, if I'm recalling correctly, 1980, the president of the church said in an interview with Time magazine that the church now believed Blacks aren't of a lesser status and they actually did choose a side in the conflict, or, at least, they were on an equivalent level of valiance and honor to the other races. Currently, in our time, they just backtracked to the final extent a little while back, where not only do they deny their former beliefs ever happened (Jeffrey R. Holland PBS Interview in documentary "The Mormons", blabbers about how it was all just some inaccurate folktale) but they now say that Blacks are completely equal in the church and we're all just human. If I were a Mormon, I simply wouldn't be able to trust a church that completely flips around and then lies about the existence of a decently-important belief in the span of a few decades.

mormonsissies btfo or something like that
 
I’ve met several Mormons throughout high school, they’re good upstanding people. Very white too, which is good for my area.
I myself am a Roman Catholic, and we believe ourselves to be the true Church, but I try not to hold any ill will towards Orthodox people. It’s been nearly a thousand years, and there are much bigger moral fish to fry in the world.
