Not much. After a while I guess I think about the Utah Jazz, but that takes a few seconds. Oh and mormons.

Originally posted by wienerschnitzel i don't want to come across as a ranting bitch, but i don't think people should judge a religion unless they know everything about it. For example, calling mormons 'crazy'. I am mormon which may be a suprise to some for i am obviously not as devout as my religion calls for. However, i still love my church and it's people and just because you don't want to practice their beliefs doesn't make it crazy. I don't say that muslims or catholics are crazy because what they practice is diffrent then me. And i should probably clear up that mormons aren't pligymists either. It is true, back in the 1800's when mormons were pionners treking across the USA they practiced pilgymy because people were constantly dying due to extreem conditions and men were constantly been killed in battle because they were an easy target and it was legal to kill mormons then. So they practiced it so single mother familys could be fed and looked after. However, when they finally settled down in what was then Unorganized Indian Territory, which is now Salt Lake City, Utah, they banned the practice of pilgymy because it was no longer necessary. There were a group of people who didn't want to stop this practice and so they were kicked out of the church. They formed a new church called the "reorganized" church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints. Because the name is not trademarked, anyone can call themselves mormon. These are the people that live in huge colonies in the forest. Please do not associate these people with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Now if you want to continue to flame mormons, go ahead, but i will take it personally.

youre a CRAZY ranting bitch if youre mormon, get it right, didnt you read anything?

From growing up in Salt Lake, and grilling mormons, and reading one of the original handwritten texts (my dad lied about being a mormon and knew tons so he passed the test they made him take to even see the thing) it was worth 15 grand in the 70s so its probably couple hundred thou now...had things like the White and Delightsomes...wait derailing here. Point is, im not being an ignorant person when I say that "The church of latter day saints" is odd. Its odd because most religions are inclusive, they WANT people to join in and then get converted.

Mormons keep you out so you join the club to see whats up. there is a reason that with 5 kids a pop mormon population hasnt gone up a whole lot.

im not trying to get into it, but from a 'this is how religions typically function' viewpoint and not a doctrinal difference, its more of a cult than a religion. and according to the definition laid down by sociologists, it is a cult. a big one, but still a cult.

The cult thing is just saying that it isnt widely accepted by society for whatever reason.

Moral of the story is you need a hug you crazy bizatch

Ok, i really don't want to argue about this, but some of your statements bug me. I know your really smart and i don't doubt that you know a thing or two about mormons, but i think you need to seperate fact from opinion. I don't think that it is a big secret club, if that were the case, why is there missionarys constantly knocking at your door? If you asked any mormon a question im sure they would love to tell you all they know. Also, do you have a source of statistics to prove the mormon population isn't increasing hardly at all? And i think the thing that your dad took a test for to see, i think i have heard something about that before, the salamander letter or something like that. Well, that stuff is bullocks and i know people love to sensationalize everything about something unknown but i hope you don't believe everything you hear. Im sure your dad did see something and talked to some people but they were out of their minds. No religion has a perfect congregation. If you think it is an exclusive religion because no anybody is allowed into our temples, that is because they are sacred places. Im sure there are other sacred temples in asia and other places that you wouldn't be able to just walk into. If you want to learn about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints but don't want to talk to a missionary with the fear that he will shove a book or mormon down your throat, look at www.mormon.org . You dont' read a baseball book to learn about hockey, so don't read anti stuff to learn about a religion. I think your awesome orbax, but i had to point these things out.

I totally disagree. Orbax is NOT awesome.

Natural beauty that is almost unmatched anywhere else in the US and perhaps the world that I have seen firsthand.

The winter olympics were just held there, but since it's near impossible to get alcohol there, all the Europeans were complaining lolz.

MORMONS!!!

hmm i dont like mormons. They always come up to me trying to convert me and stuff. And they sometimes knock on your door, and try and convert you too. Why can't they just leave us alone!!! Does anyone else notice that christianity is the only religion that tries to convert people. You don't see buddhists, muslims, jew etc going around trying to convert ppl. It really, really annoys me.

btw are Mormons count as christians?

I don't really know much about the religion



I have a funny story actually:

One day i came home from high school and my front door was locked. This was unusual because usually one of my brothers or my sisters is home. Anyway, i unlocked the door and i saw my brothers inside.
I said "Why did you lock the door?"

and they said "some bloody mormons came around so we pretended we werent home."

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
