    Why are Christians OK with using tactics that turn people away

    I agree, it seems they should be a bit more sensitive to the people they ask to attend a concert for the victims of that terrible terrible tragedy.

    Should I join the Mormon Church?

    Another thing people forgot to mention is that Joseph Smith claims to have found the Book of Mormon on two golden tablets. He says God lead him to the tablets. He was the only one to have seen these "tablets" and when people asked to see them, he mysteriously lost them. They also are huge...
