==The title business==
Look, I think I know what this is about, and it's silly, let's stop it.

What I'm sure this is all about is that Mormons have views that are somewhat outside the Christian mainstream. That's not going to go away. Some Christians are always going to say Mormons aren't really Christians. Just as some Catholics don't think Protestants are really Christians (and vice versa). Just as some Friends General Conference Quakers don't think Friends United Meeting Quakers are really Quakers.

And without even looking I can tell you with 99% accuracy what the title business is about. I betcha the Mormons-are-not-Christians faction says "See? They just added it as window-dressing to fool people," and I betcha the Mormons say "We've always been Christians, that was taken for granted, we didn't think anything need to be said about it, but when the question came up we adjusted the title to reflect what's always been true." Am I right? [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 11:34, 7 May 2007 (EDT)

We can talk about it, but please, no edit wars or changes without discussion or flat assertions that one title is right and another is wrong. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 11:36, 7 May 2007 (EDT)
