My Motivation
Many of you visiting this site are probably wondering why I have put the time and effort into producing this web page. Some of you are probably thinking, "why don't you just leave them alone?" So I ask you, if you saw a thirsty man drinking water from a well you knew to be poisoned, would you let him continue to drink or would you guide him to a safe well?
I had a few close Mormon friends and several Mormon acquaintances in high school. One day, my mother showed me a book called The Kingdom of the Cults. While browsing through it, I found that the Mormons were listed as a cult and the book presented a short summary of their religion. Some of the Mormon beliefs it mentioned seemed incredibly ridiculous, which piqued my interest. I began to research the religion further and ask questions of my Mormon friends. I was never given a straight answer, nor could they support many of their beliefs with Biblical teachings. After one debate with a Mormon friend, he told me that he could not question his faith. It was against his religion to doubt any of the Mormon beliefs. He informed me that he had prayed and asked God if the Book of Mormon was true and that he felt affirmation within his heart. I was convinced that the Mormon Church was founded by a con man named Joseph Smith and I set out to prove it. I spent the next few months compiling twenty pages of notes, all of which are now part of this web page.
I genuinely believe it is my Christian duty to expose the truth about Mormonism to anyone who will listen. It is their choice whether or not to heed my advice, but I offer it freely. Fortunately, the internet offers a discrete means for me to pass this message to Mormons and friends of Mormons.
If you are a Mormon, I pray that you have the patience to read the information presented here and the strength to consider the possibility that your faith is built on a false foundation. In no way do I want to destroy your faith that there is an awesome God up there and that He sent His only son to be our Savior. My faith as a Catholic has only grown stronger in challenging my church's beliefs and affirming them through logic and science.
If you are not a Mormon, I pray that you will lead any Mormons you know to this site, so that they too can drink from a safe well.
May the Peace of Christ be with you!
