No as some of you know everyone in my family is pretty much either Lutheran or Catholic. However, I was cleaning the car the other day and I found foru copies of the Book of the Mormon. Now one copy, I could understand maybe a friend could have left. But, four copies makes me think something is up. Not just that, but I found all kind of Mormon panflets hidden in a drawer.

Some of you may think this a tad crazy, but you wouldn't say that if you were dragged along to the opening og a new Mormon Temple last year. This is not right, I refuse to change religions again. Especially not to one as confusing as Mormanisim, and damned if I'm baptising myself for dead relatives.

You'll know if they're morons if they fail an IQ test...oh wait, you meant Mormons, as in heretics. silly me! :roll: :lol:

Well as the wise and religious people of South Park said, "The right religion is mormanism." Said by satan himself...maybe... no.

Actually they said. "Sorry the correct religion was the Mormons"

Whatever, I don't watch enough South Park to memorize the words. Simpsons on the other hand... Quite sad really.

I had the simpsons memorised too. Then it got shitty.

Definitely...

Back to the real issue, if you wish to call it that. The thing I want to know is what did you change from before? Because you mentioned you didn't want to change relgions AGAIN.

You should investigate if any poligamy is going on :wink:

Could be they just keep the extra copys around for rolling papers, I know that I do.

:shock: Send them to the Jays ;)

Actually, don't. I found the book of Mormon at a Jesuit school. No idea why it was there.

Closet Mormons! The type who hold hands and sing songs in South Park heaven?

Nooooooooooo ... what's next? Me gone Papal? :P

Could be they just keep the extra copys around for rolling papers, I know that I do.lol, I tend to use them for kindling. It's hard to get a fire started when you have fifteen minutes to burn a heritic before The Simpsons come on.

I think some religious door to door person dumped them in your car.

Maybe they're trying to convert you by dumping stuff around your house O_O

This is just sad, really. Perhaps you should lead your family in a daily affirmation...

"Say it loud!"

"I'm Mormon and I'm proud!"

Maybe they're just pack rats and keep all the stuff mormons give them over the years.

"Say it loud!"

"I'm Mormon and I'm proud!"

seperate but mormon is inherently unequal.

Rotovia, if you switch religions to suit your tie as you said, why do you associate yourself with any particular religion?
Why not just say, "This is what I believe." and let other people categorize you as they see fit. I myself am a baptized and confirmed Lutheran and I went to a Catholic High School for 4 years, so I have seen many sides to organized religion and differences of beliefs between people. I think any organized religion is too constricting for someone to follow. I am a true beliver in "Personal Religion", meaning that the individual creates the religion they follow and leave room for expansion and assmilation of other ideas and beliefs.

MUA HAH HAH! LET THEM COME UNTO CHRIST! DO NOT DENY THEM THEIR HAPPINESS! LET THEM LEARN OF THE TRUTH FOR THEMSELVES!

LOL anyway, seriously, so what? Despite what the baptist and lutheran leaders preach, we are not the spawn of satan :P

The evil laughter doesn't really help your cause much.

There are worse things than being one of us, what if they were closet Jehovahs Witnesses :wink:. Incidently though I have nothing personal against him, don't make the mistake of thinking Raysia and those like him represent us all.

I was just kidding in that mua hah hah post...

Because catholicism is a nearly doctrineless religion

wha?!

Because catholicism is a nearly doctrineless religion

wha?!

You know, all those canon laws, Papal Bulls, the Summa Theologica (sp?) etc aren't real doctorines

protestantism has a half million sects

What does that prove? If anything, only that Protestantism is fragmentorary (sp?)

so basically he just picks and chooses what to believe to justify whatever he's doing at that time

At least he's honest about it :P

not too christlike, but not too uncommon

Because your really Christ like aren't you Raysia ;)

As for Catholicism being doctrineless, the common complaint seems to be we are over-doctrinised.

excuse me, that came out wrong... when I said doctrineless, I meant to say that people pick and choose what to believe out of the faith, and that you can't believe every tenant of the faith without being called a fundie...

Take them to see a priest and quick! :P

Take them to see a priest and quick! :Plol, maybe they'll go all "Exorcist". With spinning heads and vomit and the like.

Umm... Clearly you have not seen the catechism of the Catholic church. IT'S OVER ONE THOUSAND FREAKING PAGES THICK!
And mormons split out into a bunch of sects. You've got your east coast mormons, your polygamous mormons, your mormon mormons... you get the picture. And religion should be based on personal interpitation. After all, my religion says this:

You came from your mom. You're going to die. Everything else is uncertain.

Tell your parents to run like hell. I went to a mormon temple a few times.

*shudders*

The Catholic Church has alot of different doctrines. Protestantism has alot of sects but they all believe in pretty much the same things. Mormonism also has different sects, like the Reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints. And I have met alot of mormons that pick and choose what they believe in, such as plurality of gods, and God cursing the black people etc.

:o
Public stoning is in order.

Public stoning is in order.

Why would you want to get them arrested for public intoxication?

Oh.

The other type of stoning. :oops:
