No more so then say baptists... and i mean honestly... you could only wish that most religious groups did as much good as the mormon church.
They do a LOT of good, are one of the more active charitable christian groups out there... and seem honestly to generally be a lot more positive and generally nice then people on average.
So even if they were a cult, good for them. We'd probably be better off if there were more Mormons out there. |
I wouldn't exactly say that the Mountain Meadows Massacre was a good thing ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Meadows_massacre ), and I'm not sure if there's anything analogous to it in Baptist history.

Well... the inquistion. Since they branched off from catholics after that.
I mean... seriously... 1857?
