BF2S Forums Mormonism --> by South Park

Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb

haha this cracked me up a close friend of mine have recently met a girl who´s strictly mormon and he´s a strong atheist who usually goes out every weekend and get wasted.

wow, if that's the least bit accurate.....then oh god.  hahha.

Well I did some research after seeing that episode and found that they got a few minor facts wrong. The largest of which was Joseph Smith did allegedly show the plates to his wife of the time and the guy who published the Book of Mormon. However they are people who would have directly profited from Mormonism so their accounts are not to be taken seriously.

Ha, I was a Mormon.

Wow.. I hope you're joking.  I thought you were smart.

I think the operative word is "was."  I've known a lot of ex-Mormons.  Usually, they leave Mormonism for exactly the reason you and South Park suggested: being too smart to fall for it.

Hell, I left Methodism for the same reason....

I usually keep the JW's away by offering them Anton LaVey's Satanic Bible in exchange for theirs.

Just like you are not born gay, straight, Christian, etc.  It's all about experience.

But I apologize that I missed the key word "was".

Almost there. You ARE born Jewish (it travels through the mother), and I personally believe that you are born gay.

Both very true statements in my eyes. My cousins live in Ogden (sp?), Utah, which is RIGHT next to Salt Lake City, and they're very nice people. Then again, they're family so that's understandable. But I know of another Morman family that live nearby in our neighborhood, and they're a really nice family too.

Jehova's Witnesses seem somewhat nice, but are damn persistent. I literally live a block down from a church they built about 2 years after my family moved in, and every month or two, they come knocking on my door. I tell them that I'm not interested, but they always seem to come back. *sigh*

I used to live about 2 blocks from a JW temple. The folks never came back after I told them I was Catholic, and invited them to come to Mass that evening with me.

A quick vignette on Mormons:

The high school I went to was the only private, secular, college prep school in the region I lived in. We had a couple of Mormon families. One of them (which had 7!!! daughters) had a girl a year younger than I, and my mom and hers would run into each other at activities and whatnot. My mom being the wonderful soccer mom that she is, would inquire as to how the older daughters were doing in college and whatnot. One afternoon, after a play rehearsal or something, this mother made the following comment about her daughter's recent graduation from BYU (summa cum, even):

"Well, she did great in school, but she didn't get married, so I guess we'll just have to send her back for her Master's." And then she sighed.

If nothing else, I am scared of Mormons becuase they force their women to be baby making machines. The most popular school at BYU for females is the School of Family Life, offering degrees in Home and Family Living, Family and Consumer Sciences Education, and Marriage, Family, and Human Development.

Hard to have a career with a degree in one of those fields.

Right............and you know this how?

Just a bit of a disclaimer, but not all Mormons are nice.

I thought Mormons were bad.

Then I watched this show on public access with 3 Jewish people.  They claimed that the sun, in fact, does not provide light for the earth, the earth has its own light.  That the universe revolves around the earth.  That space is made up by "the white man" to keep us down.  I've never actually wanted to hit someone really hard in the face with a shovel before.

I looked for it and couldn't really find it but their website is www.theholyconceptionunit.org

But then you look at most any religion and it's laughable.

Excuse me while I part a massive body of water.

What the fuck, I went to Hebrew camp as a kid once, and I didn't hear any of that shit.

It depends on how conservative they are.

Don't forget the second Z.  Also, it may not last long.  I'm hoping the mods will keep changing to every week or so.  Hopefully I won't have to be a sex slave to anyone other than DonFCK though.  He was..................kinky.............

I am sort of surprised to hear you started out life as a Mormon.  You still Christian?
