Mormons

is anyone on here a mormon or can explain the mormon religion?
i was in utah about a month ago and im just curious about the mormons.

 

I dunno but i think all mormons have special athletic powers

 

mormon is dangerously close to the word moron. that is all!

 

What do you want to know about it?

 

its kinda like most christian religions.. but like from my experiences with my best friend who is mormon basically its more of an all around lifestyle. no alcohol. no cursing. basically being a nice person and going to church. oh and on monday they have to stay home. cuz church and they cant spend money unless its at the church

 

Read "Under the Banner of Heaven" by John Krakauer. It explains the basics as well as the history and some of the more extreme views of some fundamentalist Mormons.

 

well i kinda figured they dont drink because i had a couple drinks out of my dads beer at a restaurant because im not 21, im 18 and these people looked at me like i feel from the sky.

 

and what do you mean by they cant spend money unless its at the church?

 

there are some weird extremes like polygamy which means that they have multiple wives

 

its like a once a week devotion to church.

 

Well my sister befriended a family of them, and after 2 years and many violent actions on my part I thought they would stop trying to convert me, (legit convert me, Im not kidding) and for christmas they gave me conversion books and a dvd which I shredded and returned to them and performed more questionable actions.

I have not had any other interactions with them, but they do not come to my house any more and I avoid seeing them.

 

you just made my eyes water!! that's one of the most asshole-ish things ive ever heard... and loved it!! great job bud

 

I don't know what he's talking about. We try to stay home on Sundays after church in order to honor the Sabbath. We also try not to cause others to work on Sunday by not shopping or going to eat. I think thats what he is getting at when he says not spend money. I don't know anything about the "unless its at church" unless he is referring to paying tithe.

 

on them or me?

 

One of the greatest movies of all time. Excellent reference!!!

 

oh ok thanks for helping me understand because there arent any mormans where i'm from.

 

It's not a one day a week religion.

 

if ur asking me, i was talking about you. that was fantastic dude. we should all take note

 

i'm going to sound really dumb here, but do you guys hang out with non-mormons or do you usually stick with other mormons?
