Actually, this isn't really a belief of the Mormon people. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that God loves all people equally. They also believe that each person should be given a chance to hear and accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and all people are welcome to become Mormons if they choose to. Mormons are not taught that they are better or more favored than anyone else.

Most Mormons would say that they believe they are the people of God, but they do not believe that God 'chose' them over anyone else. Mormons believe that an individual chooses God, and by following Him they become His people.

What are the bad things that they say about Mormons?

Many things that people say against Mormons simply come from someone who is uninformed or has a different opinion. This does not mean that it is bad, but it is often offensive. Those who are uninformed or misinformed often say: -Mormons are polygamist (this practice was banned by the church over 120 years ago in 1890) -Mormons dont believe in the Bible (Mormons consider the King James Version of the Bible as sacred scripture and are encouraged to study it daily) -Mormons don't believe in Jesus (Mormons believe that Jesus Christ is their Savior, just like all Christians) -Mormons are cultish (Mormons live and dress and act just like most anyone else in society. They do not live on compunds, etc.) -Mormons worship Joseph Smith (Mormons believe Joseph Smith was a prophet, just like Moses or Abraham, not a god to be worshipped) -Mormons kidnap, brainwash, coerce, etc (Mormons wish everyone to make their own decisions, and define their standards by Scripture) Those who have different opinions and say things that are offensive to Mormons often say: -Mormons are not Christian (Mormons are not traditional Protestant Christians, but they do still believe in the Bible and salvation through Jesus Christ.) -Mormons are lying (Mormons honestly believe they are telling the truth) -Mormonism is a pyramid scheme (Mormons believe in paying a Tithe and in missions work to gain converts, but believe this is Biblically based and do not seek converts for monetary gain) -Mormons are unbiblical (Mormons believe that they are following the Bible very strictly, but the Bible can be interpreted differently by different people) -Mormonism is false (this is obviously just an opinion, but one that is often offensive to those who honestly believe)

Has the recent condemnation of Christianity given by God affected the members of the Mormon religion since they believe they are the one true Christian religion and Gods chosen elite?

To my knowledge, God has never condemned Christianity as a whole. There have been cases in which individual people proclaiming to be Christians have appeared to be condemned, but this hardly counts as a condemnation of the entire faith, and many Christians would say that the condemned person was never a truely saved Christian to begin with. Mormons do not claim to be God's chosen elite. They believe that God loves all people equally and unconditionally and that they are not better than anyone else. Any Mormon who does believe that they are better or more 'elite' in God's eyes is not in agreement with the Mormon church.

When did the Greek people create their Gods?

Nobody knows- and this is a fundamental spiritual question, did the Greeks create their Gods, or did their GODS create THEM?! It's easy for us to say, in the monotheistic world of the 21st Century, that the old Gods don't exist, but we can't KNOW that.
