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

Of course overall numbers are down but there's a big difference between decline and empty. The church in the image I posted is in the east end and didn't look too empty.

Your own link proves my point [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Well i didnt mean literally empty, i mean like... when you see a dying species and the mating population isnt high enough to sustain the species... is more what i was meaning.

You might see this kind of attendance on holidays, say, on christmas but i highly doubt that a church gets this kind of attendance on a regular basis.

Having said that, im sure there are exceptions. For example, haitians are big on churches, so youll see those culture-specific churches still draw some crowds.

But broadly, i think its safe to say that any of the churches pretty much that youve pointed on google maps, pick any one out and ill take my digital camera there on a sunday and take a pic of what it looks when people are coming out and id bet a 50$ that its a small attendance.

My family was mormon when I was a kid 7 or so, I was indoctrinated.
At 17 I joined the forces, when I came back from gulf 1 I was a lot more world wise, after about a year and 3 church courts I was excomunicated for "leading the congregation astray" apparently I am a bad influence.
who knew.

They dont want me back on church ground apparently, I can live with that I tell the story sometimes with a sense of pride on what pushed them over the edge [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I am a Mormon. Now you know someone online who is one.

With every religion, there are extremists. Funny how the normal ones, never make the news.

Please tone down the bashing, as not all Mormons are representative of the stereotypes. The same with any religion.

No offense Haynar, but you just pulled a Chef..

Never say one word about people bashing Islam for pages and pages of virulent hate, calling them all terrorists, etc., but the second someone says anything remotely negative about YOUR fruity little club, yer all about "please tone down the bashing." ..and we can't even say "piss off" to you for fear of a ban for trash talking devs..

..funny how that works..

You are assuming I even looked at the threads about Islam? Is it in R&F? Then I probably have not read it.

I don't read all the threads.

I don't ban on the boards, except spammers.

You can say piss off to me, but not without fear of being put on /ignore.

If I don't like what people are saying, I just ignore them. If the thread is not in R&F, then I have every right to come in and say tone it down, if it is turning into a bash fest.

You confuse "Developer" with "GM", "GUIDE", "ADMIN", everything else.

I only dev. I don't set policy. I provide very little input into policy. So go troll someone else.

And if the thread continues the bashing and hate, I will move it to R&F.

It's a lil' funny which threads get a blind eye turned to them when. That's all I'm saying..

I wasn't saying you did.. I said "fear of being banned" not "fear of being banned by you." I'm more worried about Nilborg or Rogean than you by far.. They are very (righteously) defensive about you devs, since all you do is bleed for this project for free..

..just saying man..

..it's not like the threads in question were some low profile RnF threads, or even confined to RnF.. ..there is a huge undertone and even blatant hatred directed towards many religions (especially Islam) on these forums..

..it's interesting how nobody on the staff says shit about it when it's Islam being bashed..

..just saying..

Only reason for this is cuz we have no muslims on the server or they are just hiding. I guarentee if someone posted a pic of muhammed in a bear suit, someone would threaten to bomb us or fly a plane into us again. For the lulz, Ill do it:

Don't mind hasbinbad, his vagina hurts after the entire server told him to go fuck himself. So now he feels the need to champion everything, everywhere...even if they contradict each other.

He is as useless on these forums as he is in life.

Aren't you the tool that lied about being a "combat vet" in Afghanistan?

Then got called out on it by a real combat medic, raged and called him a "military hating pussy?"

Yep, you sure are. But hey, keep talking as if your opinion carries a modicum of credibility.
