Why I hate the Mormons.
First I was raised Mormon, up until I was 12 I went to their gathering every wensday, their are many reasons to HATE these people, if they had the power the catholics do I would be justy as frightned, thankfully the Mormons never get any new recruits, so they are declining, anyone who has graduated elementry school can take one look at their teachings and just bust up laughing over it. But Mrens if their religion is so stupid how do they have any followers? Very simply, brainwashing. Nothing as serious as locking you in a closet and beating you daily until you are convinced you will die if you don't accept Jesus, but they have a very organized structure of socialy outcasting anyone who dosent fit into their profile of a perfect Mormon. Did you ever notice you never see a mormon outside of a mormon community? It is planned this way, if you are a mormon living in one of the communities and ou are excommunicated. You can A: Move Away B. Pay the Church a hefty sum to be accepted again. C. Live in a ********** existance, Where the town grocrey store is not allowed to sell to you, where every other child is instructed not to talk to you, hell the very teachers at your school will give you the cold shoulder, I used to be friends with a very nice boy in Jr. High, turns out his father was arrested for some charge (Really not sure) and the family was kicked out, the principle of the school came up to me and explained the consiquences of continuing to be friends with the kid would result in serious punishment, I feel so bad for that kid now, what a ****** up way to live.
They had diffrent levels of punishment, which all had the same consiquences. Pay the fine or leave the church, their were really no two ways about it.
Things that will get you expelled from the mormon church: Being pregnant out of wedlock, being handicapped (I left before they kicked me out, but yes this actually happens) any form of substance abuse (I think Coffe is ok but not Cola, I rember a sermon when I was younger telling us about the evils of drinking coke, much like someone would lecture their child about doing drugs), knowing a person of color (You will never meet a Black mormon), any felony, dating someone outside the church, Or having any relations or social contact at all with any of the above, their were parents who would deny all responsibilities of a child and send them off to live with whoever would take them, this was at the age of 16, could you imagine accidently getting knocked up and having your parents tell you tough ****, now get out of my house.
Alot of Mormons are faith healers, they will check into a hospital if they get stabbed or something. But you will notice very few mormon towns have a drugstore. Another interesting fact, I threw mine out a while ago (Wish I would have hung onto it) but all mormons are required to carry around a form of ID to identify themselves as a mormon. It's a card, like a drivers licsince, it has your picture, name, mormon ID #, and what church you belong to.
Now I usually don't insult a church for their belifs, only for their practices, watch the South Park episode on mormons, it gives the basics (Of course their is a lot more to it, but that is it in a nutshell). It is rather funny, every few years the church ammends what it offically agrees with, this is rather humurous, it would be like the catholic church comming forward and saying "Well we have looked at the finacial benifit, and discovered that God thinks abortions are ok." A few years ago they announced that God thinks polygomy (Getting married to multiple wives) was immoral, after only practicing it for 200 years they actually ammended the writing in one of their books of Mormon (Their are 3 I think) claiming that it must have been "mistranslated the first time" Im sure the catholics do it also, but they arnt so damn obvious about it. They also ride around on bikes and wear name tags, thats pretty funny.
So my overall opionions of mormons. A rather stupid people, who are of no real harm to anyone but themselves. Their outdated practices will be completley obsolete in a few years. They have little to no political power. They are a minor nusince and will be non-existant as soon as the Catholics take over the goverment.
