“Who is a Christian?”

You probably recall — I hope you haven’t forgotten — the twenty-one Egyptian Copts in Libya who were beheaded a few days ago by ISIS, because they were Christians.

If you’d like to read about these men, here’s an article profiling them:

I’m glad that they’re being memorialized as individuals.

However, you’ll be impressed now to learn that some of the same Christians© who refuse to grant Latter-day Saints membership in what they believe to be their exclusive club are now, with consummate charity and grace, denying that those twenty-one Copts were Christians:

I honestly don’t think that I have many prejudices, if (really) I have any at all.  But relatively small minority of aggressively vocal Evangelicals tempt me very, very much.
