    Mormons have their own book which is basically fan-fic of the bible and new testament. So it’s kinda like if you met someone who calls themselves a Trekkie, but they’ve never seen any of the shows and have only read fan-fic. Would a Trekkie accept them as one of their own?

      Mormons read the Bible. They’d be Trek super-fans who think their favorite fic-writer is better than Roddenberry, but they would have watched ToS and NG at least.

      Source: raised cultist. Have a Mormon “quad” of all the holy texts somewhere in storage.

      Are you saying that Mormons don’t follow the Bible? Because that’s simply not true. They added to it.
