How is it that your faith is "correct" and these others are "misguided"
or "false?"  From other quotations in your article it doesn't appear that
you believe that divine inspiration ceased with the New Testament, so on
what basis do you deny that claim to faiths other than your own?  I fail
to see major differences between the beliefs of Mormons, Christian
Scientists and Episcopalians, especially in regard to the Incarnation and
its importance to Christian belief.  Would you document your claims rather
than merrily blasting away?
