Why is it always the Mormons?
Over the year and a half or so I've been a member of RF, I've noticed that Protestant Christians who identify as "evangelicals," "fundamentalists" and "born again" ("EC" for short) regularly target the beliefs of LDS far more so than any other belief system, even though, frankly, LDS and EC have what appear to me to be very similar aesthetic values. Not to say that all EC do it . . . . just that many of them do . . . and when they do, they almost always zero in on Mormons.
Why is that? I'd like to hear opinions from anybody on the subject. Why not Buddhism? Judaism? Or Islam? Why do you think it's so important for so many EC to argue with Mormons?

Maybe they see Mormons as competing for the same converts they're competing for?

We pretend to be Christians. At least the Buddhists have the decency to not believe that Christ is their Savior.

In essence, it stems from the fact that we say that they're all suffering from a little apostasy issue. If we're wrong, at least one of the established clique is right, and hey... best to keep it in the group.

 Maybe our name's not long enough. Maybe something a little more along the lines of "The Evil Heretical Church of a Different, Non-Biblical, Counterfeit Jesus Christ of Latter-day Wannabe Saints" would make them happy.
