Mormons have their own book which is basically fan-fic of the bible and new testament. So it's kinda like if you met someone who calls themselves a Trekkie, but they've never seen any of the shows and have only read fan-fic. Would a Trekkie accept them as one of their own?

Mormons read the Bible. They'd be Trek super-fans who think their favorite fic-writer is better than Roddenberry, but they would have watched ToS and NG at least.

Source: raised cultist. Have a Mormon "quad" of all the holy texts somewhere in storage.

Are you saying that Mormons don't follow the Bible? Because that's simply not true. They added to it.

And how come the new testament isn't "fan fic" of the torah?
