The hatred towards LDS.

Today I want to talk about something very near and dear to me.
I am LDS and I am proud to be LDS.
There was a book brought to me from a Catholic friend of mine, that was given out to her from the church. It was a book on how to answer to mormons.
I looked at the index and I was impressed, because I saw it had LDS beliefs. a very nice sounding index.
So I flipped to it. What I read was shocking, it went on to say how Mormons beliefs is similar to greek mythology, that we believe in multiple Gods. It went on to say how Mormon missionaries will at all cost tell you how wrong your church is...

I was shocked.
sad.
mad.
confused.

LDS believes in ONE God. I have never heard of a missionary saying how wrong a church is. I was disapointed that this book was being distributed to teens, in order to help them "understand" my religion, but giving them false information on the Church will not help them understand anything. I am just so shocked to hear how wrong they could be about their "theory" of our "belief system".

I don't care what your opinion of me being LDS is,
I am happy where I am, where I stand with God, what I will be doing, and how I will be growing as a person.
If you are going to speak poorly of my church, atleast make sure you are not going on false information.

I am genuinely offended because I don't get why it is a big deal what LDS members believe.

Since that day, my Catholic friend and I have started reading the Book of Mormon together, and have started her lessons with missionaries. I didn't pursuade her, I didn't tell her she had to come to our church.
What I told her, was the LDS true belief, what we have, what eternity is, how sacred everything is, and how beautiful you will see yourself and others.
She see's the happiness I have and she wants it.
