Mormonism rejects the Trinity and you get your own magical planet/become like God when you die. I think most Christians would find that profoundly heretical.

The church has mostly been doing a propaganda campaign to present themselves as just another denomination of Christianity, but Adam-God and the spirit wives is just gross and weird.

“Hey ladies! The best afterlife you get is pumping out babies with all of your husbands other wives for all of eternity!”

Yeah, that pivot they are attempting is wild. They are trying to cozy up to all the evangelicals and think they can pull some Jeff mind truck to make them forget all the crazy shit they taught from bygone years.

Do they really think the other churches will forget about the golden tablets, Adam-God, moon quakers, sun people, 'elders' becoming gods of their own planet/Galaxy/universe, rocks in hats, weird salamanders, etc etc. Because they won't. (I didn't mention polygamy or the underage girl hoarding because I'm pretty sure that's an objective quite a few evangelical leaders hope to achieve eventually.)

The other churches are at best using them in the short term and will ditch them as soon as the LDS Church serves no further purpose. But the church leaders are so high on their own farts that they can comprehend that fact.
