Summary: Contender Ministries expresses their opinion of FairMormon:
The Foundation for Apologetic Information & Research (FAIR) is a Mormon apologetics organization whose mission is to "address the charges leveled at the doctrines, practices and leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) with documented responses that are written in an easily understandable style." While not controlled by, or affiliated with the Church, this organization is waging a somewhat successful campaign of disinformation. As part of that campaign, FAIR gave answers to 50 questions that are found various places on the internet, including some on our site. However, as is common of FAIR's articles and rebuttals, these "answers" are full of straw-men arguments, half-truths, and outright deceptions. FAIR defends the indefensible by attacking the Bible (officially still considered Scripture by the Church) and by counting on readers to accept what they say without investigating their answers.

Answers to Questions All Mormons Should Ask Themselves
Summary: According to Contender Ministries, FAIR's responses are "deceptive and the original questions are still without adequate and truthful answers." The site owners also claim that "FAIR can pack a lot of deception into a paragraph or two." Apparently, this anti-Mormon ministry considers any interpretation of the Bible other than their own to be "deceptive." We invite our readers to thoroughly research and investigate our responses. If errors are discovered, we will be happy to correct them.
