Mormons

[quit that]

So... They're crazy.

Discuss.

[DearestHelpless]

Well they're definitely a little different...?

[Jessie]

I agree.






Yea.

[Lamer Than Lame]

My friend is a Mormon. Last I checked, she's the most normal person out of her whole family.

I've been to her church a few times, too. Her friends there were amazed that I didn't think they were freaks for being Mormons.

[Artemis]

My best friend is a Mormon...and she definitely is crazy.

[Let Go]

they're annoying .

[DearestHelpless]

Don't be ignorant.

[quit that]

I'll give you the fact that yeah, they're some really nice people. ...But you don't have to devote yourself to such a ridiculous doctrine to be the way they are. Yeah. The basics are cool and all. Pretty much like christianity. ...But when you get the specifics of it. ...You really have to question their motive of staying.

Their founder, Joseph Smith, once said at a sermon that there were Quakers on the moon. ...Let me repeat that. He said there were Quakers. The religious folk. On the Moon. Furthermore, this is one of the few major religions in which you can become a god. You see, first you have to be devout mormon. Follow all the rules. And of course, pay the ten percent to the church. Then, they'll take you to this special church and do a bunch of secret stuff. Including "celestial marriage." (A.K.A. polygamy) And then you learn this hand shake. ...And it's the hand shake of god. And when you die, you give god this handshake on the third level of heaven. And if you do it correctly, you become a god yourself, and get your own planet to be god of, and try and spread the religion on that planet.

I don't know about you, but devoting my life to a religion that involves becoming a god based on a handshake is kind of ridiculous.

[PunkyMalone]

....are you sure you're not confusing "Mormons" with "cults"?

[Lamer Than Lame]

Apparently they're not allowed to drink caffeinated beverages (just for the record, my Mormon friend [ok, that seems stupid calling her that, whatever] did try Coke once and she didn't like it).

Also, I believe the women are not allowed to live with men unless they are married. The crazy thing about that was, well, here's an example with my friend again: She isn't living with her family right now, but with her aunt, uncle and (male) cousin. Her aunt and uncle recently went on a trip and my friend had to go back and live with her family until they came home--because she wasn't allowed to be at home with her cousin. Yeah..

[Sparkplug]

n'er heard of

[DearestHelpless]

Apparently they're not allowed to drink caffeinated beverages
So...I think the mormons I know broke a rule. Tsk tsk?

[Kina]

theres probably all different levels of mormons and like what they can and cant do..if that makes sense

[quit that]

You can't have levels of Mormonism. You can't have levels of any religion. You're either a Mormon or you're not. You're either Christian or you're not.

[gone_country]

Hey if it wasn't for them, In n' Out wouldn't exist. For all of you who don't know what that is, it's a burger chain in California only, you've most likely heard about celebrities eating there. They have the world's best burgers I've ever had in my life, and that's saying alot because I'm not one to enjoy food. So everyone, at some point in their life has to go to California and eat at In n' out. Trust me, you'll thank the Mormons.

[quit that]

...That had absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand.

[gone_country]

Well it was relevant last night when you were me.

[PunkyMalone]

In n Out? Sounds like a gay bar to me.

But, if it weren't for the Mormons, we wouldn't have the funniest scene in SLC Punk where they have to cross state lines to get alcohol, because you can't buy it in Utah.

Stupid Utah.

[xchEEsyx]

^ahahah that part was great. good movie. wow Utah looks pretty..uh...exciting.

[AvrilRocker89]

haha gaybar

[Death in a Bottle]

Umm... Did you like... read the thread at all, or just see the word gay, so you laughed?

[Jessie]

Or you could just come to Arizona and eat In n Out...we have them here too. ANYWAYS, my school is made up of like 90 something percent mormon people. We have a class called Seminary that the mormons can take and it's basically church class... It pisses me off too because it's totally mixing church and state and isn't that illeagal or something? But yea, mormons just have they're own ways of doing things. I don't agree with these ways but whatever. The only time I get pissed off is when they yell at me for swearing in front of them. That makes me mad.

[AvrilRocker89]

I was laughing at what PunkMalone said

[Death in a Bottle]

It wouldn't have to be a gay bar. It could be a regular whorehouse too. The name would still apply. Either way, mormons don't have whores or gay people, so it's completely off-topic.

[AvrilRocker89]

true I just found what she said interesting

[Death in a Bottle]

Mormons are dumb. Let's kill them all.

[Lamer Than Lame]

Face it...we all just want to have sex with a Mormon. I mean, isn't that on everyone's list of things to do before they die?

[Death in a Bottle]

You rarely meet an attractive mormon.

[Idont]

I heard they have sort of a database with names of billions of people and that they baptize them all as mormons because they wanna save as many people as possible. Kinda weird...and dumb.
btw, i do know one hot mormon girl. Too bad she wont let me touch her if i dont marry her. Bleh, i bet she wouldnt be that good anyway.

[AvrilRocker89]

haha all the mormons I've met are ugly

[Death in a Bottle]

Well, that makes sense, because all the 11 year olds in general I've met are ugly.

Ooh, burn.

[quit that]

That was a zinger.

[Lamer Than Lame]

You rarely meet an attractive mormon. You need to hang around the temple more often.

[DearestHelpless]

No kidding. I'd jump my brother's mormon friend any day.

[punkin_monkey]

It's amazing how rediculous the Mormon religion is. It's also amazing how many times they have changed it to fit the "times". Of course, people do that with basically any religion, but it stands out with Mormonism only because it's so off the wall.

I have a few mormon friends. They deny the whole "polygomy"(sp) thing and the thing about being a god and having your own planet.

I also know that mormonism is/can be a very racist religion. They used to have a rule against blacks in the church, and the men and women had to sit on different sides of the church.

Who knows, I think they're nice, but nuts.

[PunkyMalone]

Face it...we all just want to have sex with a Mormon. I mean, isn't that on everyone's list of things to do before they die?
Can they be an ex-Mormon? Or someone who was raised Mormon, and then basically... is very un-Mormon now? Cause i'd sleep with everyone in The Used if that was the case. Shizzat.

Um. Anyway.

[Snagg3r]

I totally agree, you guys...

[Back to 1987]

Wow...that was quite possibly the most ignorant three pages I've read in a while....

First of all polygamy was banned by the Church of Latter Day Saints awhile ago, and need I remind you the Christian church also once supported polygamy, and incest, so.....

Second thing, as I believe was once said here, religions change to fit the times, most of the original Mormon beliefs have been thrown to the wayside.

It's not just caffiene they don't use, Mormons aren't supposed to take any sort of drug, based on a line from the same bible most forms of Christianity use.

And as for the comment about different levels of Mormonism and Christianity, that was one of the stupidest comments I've ever read, there is different levels of Christianity, hence the fifty million different branches of Christianity, and if you are mormon than you are Christian.

Beyond that, I'm too tired to argue.

[~Johno~]

What he said ^

Best thing to do is read the Bible and go figure, hell of a read.

[Back to 1987]

You might want to add the book of mormons to that read....and the Qu'ran/Koran, and the Vegas, and the Tora, and most other religious Doctorine, at which point most people realize it's all bullshit and create their own faith.

[~Johno~]

Yeahp I totaly agree. Religions for people who dont want even try and comprehend the Universe, keeps them content, the easy way out one may call it.

[Death in a Bottle]

and need I remind you the Christian church also once supported polygamy, and incest, so.....


Yeah, now they just support raping little boys.

[Back to 1987]

Oh burn, two zingers in one thread, I'm impressed.

[PunkyMalone]

Yeah, now they just support raping little boys.
to be fair, that's just the Catholic church.

Is it too soon to close this thread?
