Perhaps more importantly, LDS doesn’t believe in the Trinity, the most central Christian belief. Mike Lee just wants in because he believes in Jesus - so do Muslims. doesn’t make them Christian. |
| This is a trial balloon. The real goal is to narrow the list down to just 1 acceptable religion. One with an orange deity at its center (or maybe White AI Battle-Bot Jesus). |
I’m PP and I’m far from liberal. I fall in the middle of neither liberal nor conservative. Both parties require all or nothing. |
I didn't know all this stuff about LDS. Don't they themselves identify as Christians? |
| A violent white nationalist alcoholic gatekeeping Christianity is either the least Christian thing ever, or the most Christian thing ever. |
| Am I the only one who sees a "Christian - Other" catchall included in the list? Why the hysterics? |
PP is an ignorant troll. Instead of one God existing in three persons, Mormons believe in a Godhead consisting of three separate and distinct beings: God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. |
As part of the announcement, Hegseth said that belief systems he doesn't like don't count as religions and he made up some nonsense about what is allowed to be a religion. |

First, the Catholic church does not recognize LDS baptisms as valid because while they do say "in the name of the Father son and Holy Ghost" it does not have the same meaning. They recognize all other Christian denominations. If you want to convert from LDS, you have to be baptized again. Let's not stop there: How about the LDS website where they LITERALLY SAY they do not believe in the Trinity, but rather in the idea of the three parts of the Trinity. The Trinity is a core belief of Christianity, and thus, claiming to be Christian is a stretch. I'd call them Christian adjacent but what do I know, I'm an ignorant troll. "Like many Christians, we believe in God the Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. However, we don’t believe in the traditional concept of the Trinity. We believe that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are three separate beings who are one in purpose." - https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/article/do-latter-day-saints-believe-in-the-trinity |

Pentagon updates list of recognized religious affiliations after backlash from Mormon lawmakers The Pentagon on Monday backtracked on a disputed religious-affiliation policy that sparked a backlash from members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Republican lawmakers, saying the list had contained a “mistake” that “has been fixed.” |
I'm the poster who asked whether Mormons identified as Christians. From the bolded, it appears they do. Like another PP, there's a DoD category called "Christians - Other". So, what's the problem? They're such snowflakes that they wanted a category with their Church's name? They're such a tiny denomination!

The Catholic Church is not the arbiter of Christianity. |
Ridiculous they caved to pressure to recognize these heretics as Christians. |
