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

It's a conspiracy!!

Now go ahead and quote and link to the post where you claim I said such a thing.

I'd love to see you try.

I'm an EverQuest player and an active Mormon. Perhaps the only one in existence.
I don't care if people swear, that is what filter is for and whatever makes it
through that I choose to ignore. It's on them if they choose to converse that way.
People can criticize us all they want and say we're brainwashed or whatever but
for me it changes nothing. My faith is secure and I try my best to follow its principles
and doctrines.
Instead of fixating on what people think of me or of LDS (Mormons) in general I
focus on the good things we do and the good values and truths we try to live
and live by and pass on to our posterity.
I will and have discussed the finer points of my religion but I don't think it is
something that can be truly conveyed on an anonymous, faceless forum but rather
instead it is something to be done in person face to face.
I try to treat everyone with respect and hope to in turn be treated with respect as well.
With that said I wish us all Happy Hunting.

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.

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.

Here's my take: Believe in whatever you want, just don't try to "convert" me or "make me see the light" of your beliefs in any way. I'm a grown, thinking adult. I don't need Marvin and Chuck knocking on my door trying to tell me what the "truth" is. It's all superstition to me. I don't discriminate against Mormon, Muslim, or Moonies...it's all the same junk wrapped in a different package.

I understand your mission (religious people in general) is to "save" me...but guess what? I don't think I need saving. If you honestly believe I am going to burn for eternity for not proscribing to your strict set of beliefs, than your deity is not one to be worshiped. It is to be reviled.

My take on it all.
