: : I appreciate your reasons for rejecting Christianity. The Mormon perspective is all screwed up. I would submit that Mormonism isn't Christianity at all. You didn't reject Christianity as such, mostly just the Mormon distortion. Christianity doesn't require an alleged prophet, secret temple rituals, additional scripture, and legalistic diet proscriptions. A Christian trusts completely in Christ for his salvation.
: Christianity does require prophets--who else are these men who wrote the bible we're supposed to put our faith in as being inspired? As well the bible does mention rituals and even diet proscriptions--whether current beliefs accept those scriptures are required or not is just more of the confusion resulting from the evolution of the myths.
Ask the Jews if Christianity doesn't require "additional scripture".
