Now, Mormons have been believed to be people with horns that have 7 wives (one for every day of the week) 45 kids running around like wild demons, have horns growing out of their heads and that they don't believe in modern day technology. Well, that's all bullshit and wrong. How do I know this? Because I've lived in Utah (The freakin Mormon state of the WORLD) for more than a decade and know many of them and trust me, they don't do any of that.
Who in the hell really thought they had HORNS growing out of their heads? What a moron, like some T.V. channel wouldn't have been all over that by now. 7 wives... that's enough to make most men convert to being Mormon I hear but that's not true either. Sorry guys. Then not believing in Technology? Yes, one of the fastest growing religions in the world doesn't believe in technology. They teach people by sending smoke signals all over the world.... not.
One thing I do hear quite often though is how judgmental these Mormons are to outsiders that move in. I've heard my friends tell stories about how their siblings have come home crying from school, elementary-high school, because nobody wants to hang out with them since they are not Mormon. These people thinking that they are above others since they believe they have the most perfect religion. It sickens me really. Then they judge others in their own religious group during their church! Whats bad is that the most judgmental people of this church are usually the sweet and innocent looking church girls that attend. "OMG Jessica, did you know that Sarah went to a PARTY that had BOYS at it and she, like, totally made out with one of the guys that she's really liked for a while. Can you believe that?! What a slut!" says half the girls in church to their neighbor. Trust me, I know this from personal experience, and its happened numerous times. I would have thought they went to church to worship their religion, not gossip about others.
"Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people." -Eleanor Roosevelt. oohhhh might be on to something here...
Now since I like to look at things from a honest and non-biased point of view, I will say that maybe these guys are not so bad... Before we start accusing this ONE religion of having the most judgmental people in it, take a look at your own religion or schools. I am positive that you have seen some form of hazing taken place at a school, arguments in church about why they thing they have the best church or social clicks that kick out outsiders from their group because they are different. A lot of people fear ideas or people that are different and find it difficult to warm up to new and strange things. This is nothing new. So are these Mormons in Utah really that much different than everyone else? I don't think so.
So in conclusion, maybe everyone should stop hating each other for reasons that will never be solved anyway. There's an idea.
