They're busy marrying up all the hot chicks. They can have so many, yet we are limited to one. I demand equality amongst religion!

I'm pregnant...and the fetus is very angry. I'm not asking you to marry me or anything, just saying it would be the right thing to do. If you don't want to do that, I'll PM the place where you can send the child support checks.

Is Hitokage still technically a mormon? Thought he renounced it...

I read this wrong and thought it was another "where do you live" thread. I thought the title said "Where you morons at".

I don't know any mormons, but I had a good friend stay with a hose family in Utah a few years ago who tried to convert him. He eventually was sent back to his country when he accused his host brother of "sticking his thumb up his ass as he masturbated".

...sorry for going off on a tangent.
 
Well there's currently two camps of Mormons.

Salt Lake Mormons are generally very strict from what I understand.

The second camp exists in Mesa Arizona, much more laid back. Still weird im sure, but they arent as intense about the faith. They also poke fun at the Salt Lake Mormons to varying degrees.
 
one of my best friends in high school was a mormon, and everytime i went over his house his parents would make me read out of the mormon bible before we ate. And they would have pancakes for dinner. Mormons are wierd.

When I was in the Air Force I was amazed at how many Mormons there were. Hell..religious in general.

In anycase, i think they can be weird too...I knew a girl in the AF and she never drank anything with caffeine because she was mormon.

I'm Mormon (a Salt Lake one, in fact) and I'm not too strange. There are some weird Mormon people but you find that in any religion.

All I know is, Utah's liquor laws are FUCKED. UP. I guess the mormons aren't too concerned about the difficulty it is to find normal beer & booze, but come on my brethren! Think of your guests!

I wanna go to a mormon church just to see what it is like.

It's not unlike most churches. You've got your normal preachin' session, then you split off and go to your appropriate class (depending on age, whatever), and then the guys and girls split off to have their meetings. I'm not a converted Morman so I don't really know what goes on inside the temples since, well, can't go in 'em. Oh, and Mormon dudes really seem to love basketball...strangely so. Hmm...

Pancakes are good for ANY time of the day.

PANCAKES!!!
 
You guys ever visit a Merman Church, we sometimes meet in lakes as well as other large bodies of water. We take anybody we can drag in - literally.

Wasn't there a (quite cute) mormon that used to post on here but he went on some kind of trip and left? I guess it was a mormon thing.

Yeah, even though I don't drink, our state has some ridiculous liquor laws that even affect me (where I can go to concerts mainly).

I don't know about "quite cute", but there was one regular poster who left to do some religious thing....can't remember what it was, maybe Mormon? Actually yeah, think it was Mormon-related. You thinking of Alteredbeast?

I think I'm the only one who has read that book. It's really good, but it pretty much insinuates that the Mormon religion is BULLCRAP.
Great book, although it's pretty much left me with a permanent bias against Mormons. How people can believe that shit is beyond me.

Yeah in that Latter Days film the mormon guy had to go on some trip away from his folks for so many years, I guess he's doing that just now.

Yeah, when I read it (and you can ask Hitokage), I was almost like, "This is insanity! I can't believe that people actually believe this hokey religion!"

And then I turned my anger on Hitokage, who explained to me how that crazy religion works.

It is a great book, though.

Why would I be upset at this thread? Anyway, I'm no longer mormon, but if you were to call up Salt Lake they would tell you I'm "inactive" because my parents negotiated with me that I at least keep my name on the membership rolls... for now.

BTW, think Ripclawe is bad with the ad hominem? With four words in my second sentence I've labeled all my opinions as invalid with many mormons. ;)

It's all relative. To mormons outside the so-called Mormon Corridor(Utah and parts of Idaho, Arizona, and Colorado) both are equally nutty, but that's not meant to imply that they are actually normal. ;)

Except that preaching session is done entirely by members who are assigned(not asked) to speak, and on the first sunday of every month, the meeting is entirely made up of people getting up and telling how they know the church is true. If you want to see a difference, go then. Oh, and mormons love basketball because it's easy to build a basketball court into a meeting house and it can also be used as a chapel extension or activity room. They call it the "cultural hall", and nearly every meeting house has one.

I can see why that could be offensive to other Christians, but I can also see what you just typed being offensive as well...

Oh, and the Book of Mormon isn't considered to be part of the Bible, it's a companion to it. I think people usually take offense to it because we believe it to be scripture, just as we do the Bible.
