Anti-Mormon is a term generally used by Mormons to refer to a person, book, or another object or thought that appears to be against the Mormon religion. Most of the time this can be seen in situations involving a critique of Mormon theology where LDS become frequently offended and tend to write off such critiques as "anti-Mormon". Unfortunately, Mormons easily write off books that assess and critique Mormon theology, thus limiting the material's audience to those inside the Christian circle or others who are motivated to learn something about the LDS faith (using non-LDS sources). This does not mean such books should not be written, but what should be taken note of is the quick, emotional reaction within the Mormon circle to anything that is evidently "anti". The result is a Mormonism that embraces the
postmodern idea of "tolerance", the belief that all faiths should be tolerated and accepted. Critique has little if any place in the Mormon faith, especially in the area of theology. (
