I'm a mormon, too! Take that, stereotypes.

[Fawqueue]

My only problem with Mormon's is that they are so damn pushy. If they'd just take a hike after you tell them "No thanks, not interested" it'd be fine. But instead they insist on arguing faith with you or trying to disprove whatever it is that you believe (or don't). All of this on my doorstep while I stand their in my underwear, eyes all glazed over from too much EQ, just trying to hold myself back from saying something purposefully perverse to get them the fuck away. I used to say "I don't participate in organized religion" but that only seems to paint a giant prime-to-convert-to-mormon bullseye on my back. Now I try saying I'm a Catholic (since it's the longest, most well established denomonation of the Christian faith you'd figure they'd think it too much a challenge) but nope, just more questions and arguing.

Other than that annoyance, I know plenty and they're good people. But god damnit, stop harassing me when I'm leaving Safeway with your brochures and fake smiles.

super-lawl

my name is ryan, and i'm a combat vet. when the mormoms(i moved 2 houses down from a Kingdom Hall, didn't know that meant a mormom church) came over and I told them i didn't practice religion, they found a combat veteran mormom named ryan to come to my door and try to talk to me. out of respect, i give him 30 minutes of my time about once a week now, and he hands me the same stupid reading material that i promptly throw into my trashcan.

It may not mean much to you but, Mormons are not Jehovah's Witnesses. Kingdom Halls are where Jehovah's Witnesses meet. Not Mormons.

I don't. Get enough "faith" and fantacism and you end up with shit like 9/11 or worse. That's the only thing real dedicated belief leads to. Sadly, the US is headed to a theocratic dominionist direction the more of these types are elected into office.

shit, if only half of the people you'd like to see in office had that kind of fervor for their own country.
