Oh! I missed that the mormons were not on the list of approved religions!

Kegsbreath screwed the pooch there. They have power. Not an LDS fan, but the enemy of my enemy kind of applies here.😜

Correction: the LDS is on the list but not as Christians. Still a big yikes for the Sec. of Beer.

@LeslieBurns
They're approved. They're just not included as Christian.

The LDS believe the godhead are three distinct beings. That's the sticking point.

Are Latter-day Saints Christian? The U.S. Defense Department doesn’t appear to think so.

LDS Church left off Department of Defense’s list of Christian religions.

@katrinakatrinka Whoops! Thanks for the correction.

Still, the LDS is pissed which, for me, is all that matters. 😁

@LeslieBurns @katrinakatrinka My point exactly. The old churches don't regard Mormons as Christian (introducing a new book to the bible in the 19th century somehow didn't find general approval), but if the many, many conservative LDS members are … indignant - who are we to judge their judgement.
