Are there any religions or belief systems that Mormons find totally unacceptable? I’ve read that the LDS church accepts that many other world faiths (including non-Christian ones) have some truths. But are there any faiths or belief systems that Mormons oppose because they are completely objectionable?

Thanks for you question, J. Let me start out by saying that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has over 14,000,000 members worldwide. 14,000,000+ members means 14,000,000+ opinions, so I'm sure there's a Latter-day Saint out there somewhere that finds certain other religions "totally unacceptable. "
That being said, the Church as an institution does not have any official position regarding any other religion, except that which you have already mentioned (that virtually all belief systems include some truths). While the Church (and, hopefully, its members) certainly oppose sin in all its many forms, I am not aware of any particular organization that it has bothered to oppose, full stop.
Hope that helps! :-)

Hi Js, thanks for your question. We do not judge anybody because... "tis high to be a judge". But we know that some truths have been twisted a lot to suite people's own perceptions and desires. We remain committed to living the gospel the way the Saviour taught us.
