Unsure of the percentage. The reason it has many is because that's where they settled after they instituted polygamy(though they don't do that anymore).

I wouldn't quite go that far, but certainly some of their practices are unusual.

They are considered a cult by almost every Christian religious scholar.

HAH! The mormons, a cult? Don't make me laugh. Remember that Christianity was once considered a cult too.

Now, you want a cult, THIS is a cult.

Naw, I dont think they're a cult. They're definately a religion, at least now.

They are not even close to true Christianity like they claim. They are a cult. Just like J. Witness are a cult to the comment was NOT out of bounds. Of course I am not saying they are not a suicidal cult or a Waco type cult but they are considered a cult among religious scholars. I have no hate towards Mormons, Mr Fresh. But techinically they are a Christian cult.

They claim to be exactly like the majority of real Christians when in fact they are not.

That is a blatant lie, the Church has never claimed to believe "exactly" like all the others, (which btw was the main reason we rejected joining the World Council of Churches).  Tell me this States, do Protestants claim to believe exactly like Catholics?  Do Catholics believe exactly the same as Protestants?  Do nondenominational people claim to believe exactly as Protestants and Catholics?  If I'm correct that was the REASON for the Reformation, people disagree on theology, and it's no one's place to be yelling cult.

They claim to have gotten their "bible" from the wilderness in Ohio. That directly contradicts the bibles view on false doctrines.

Christianity used to be a cult in Rome when a bunch of cults were going around.  The empire was sorta on the decline, people turned to cults, Christianity was one of them.  Now that they're so big it's easy for Christians to do the same thing Romans did to them.

Yup yup and just like Christianity was to the Pagans, Latter-Day-Saints are to other Christian denominations, they borrow from their religions.

For example December 25th has no proven accuracy as the date Jesus was born on, it is the day of Sol Invictus, a celebration of the sun in pagan society in Rome. Christianity borrowed traditions from the pagans and the latter-day-saints have borrowed from the rest of Christianity and both added their own in.

(NOTE: These changes and borrowings were for different reasons I'd assume as the reason for borrowing from the pagan religions was that Constantine wanted a smooth change of religion in the empire from paganism to Christianity and keeping the same holidays was a way of preventing dissent)

First off, we use the Bible, the King James Version to be more exact.  Second, I don't see anywhere where it says it's from Ohio.  Third, give me some references and don't just spout off things like, "it says this or that."

I am referring to the Book of Mormon. Which goes against the words of the bible and is false doctrine.
