I have no idea why he refuses to believe you, an actual Mormon, over the aptly-named Slick who is not exactly a giant in the theological world much less an expert on the LDS faith.
Oh, that's easy. It's all about intent. If your intent is to make something look blasphemous, heretical, evil or outlandish, you use a source that specializes in doing so.
Can you give some examples of how they misrepresent your religion? Everything that I've seen there is well documented from your religion's own sources and leaders.
Since you asked, this page: Teachings of Mormonism is full of half-truths, parodies and distortions. To begin with hardly any of what he says can be traced to official LDS sources of doctrine. But we've talked about that before, too, and either it just doesn't sink in or you don't really care to get your facts straight. If you want to talk about any of Matt Slick's specific claims, I would strongly suggest you do not use this particular thread to do so. I mean that.
Matt Slick is the President and founder of a fundamentalist cult.
In other words, it's his religious perspectives, or no way at all.

He has recommended people go to a wide variety of churches, including Baptist, Calvary Chapel, and others.
So no...he's not just a fundamentalist cult leader only looking for people that agree with him. He doesn't even have a church of his own.
When a person tiptoes through the tulips?
He is not my mentor, even if I am partly Dutch.
What you seriously can't fathom is the requirement to examine what somebody says when they claim they're speaking for the Lord .. if such is true.

And where Did God reveal to "examine" somebody by going to radical Muslim or one that hates you ... so why not stop throwing out red herrings?
We "examine" using what God revealed Acts 17:11 ... the scriptures aka the Bible.

Great ... absolutely nothing.Then explain your next post which says[indent]

Reason: Thread is not about Mormonism. Please do not bait other member.

The problem is that those who believe Matt do NOT checkout out claims, as they want him to be telling the truth.
maybe if you squint very hard you can see my violin playing while if you are truthful about appreciating other people's truthfulness about what they believe while not people's desire to oppose it like pcamps \ warden \ mystic \ dewdropinn \ pleroo \ dentalfloss \ denverian \ troutdude \ sparrow \ zthatzmanz28 \ RonkonkomaNative
Cry me a river, and I will build you a boat.
They do not come across as self-righteous.

That is 100% accurate. They are looking for reasons to hate certain denominations (definitely not just Mormonism) and Matt Slick is providing them with exactly what it is they're looking for. People who want to justify their hatred will find an ally in Matt Slick.

Fundamentalism appeals to the small-minded and mean-spirited.
They're easy to spot, especially when spouting Slick's schtick.*

Do you believe everything I, an actual Christian, tell you about Christianity?
