I can't remember the stats, but only about 50% of Utah is Mormons. The other
half don't seem to be too upset about it. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org www.mormons.com "Chas" wrote in message ... "Stormin Mormon" wrote Hey, at least we don't drive around with loud speakers five times a day blaring out the prayer call. You've got a point there. Of course there are those guys on Temple Square. And we don't behead folks. Anymore. Maybe. Of course, dressing up in costume and waylaying people by the side of the road is still very popular- and Porter Rockwell's legacy is alive and well. It's dangerous to pass through Mormon country if you're gentile; and dangerous to stay there if you don't toe the Saint's line. Of course, you can always move to Mexico, hunh? Chas |
What do you get when you cross a JW and an atheist? A guy who goes door to
door but doesn't know why. How to drive a Unitarian family out of the neighborhood? Burn a question mark on their front lawn. What do you get when you cross a dyslexic and a Unitarian?

Atheism is NOT a religion, it is living a life without the need for such superstitiions. That said, I find religion fascinating and study it a good deal. It's interesting to learn what makes people behave in such strange ways. Kind of like studying abnormal psychology. |

Let's not kid ourselves this stuff about Joseph Smith discovering a "lost" scripture and being able to read it suddenly with golden spectacles represents any kind of factual information. That's about a lame an origins story as I've ever seen. Even the Scientologist scam with alien beings involved has more pizzazz- you Mormons need some aliens to spice this thing up. The golden specs routine just ain't making it. JS |

Chas Chas- hi. i'm not disputing the facts of your experience regarding the polygamous clan you lived among, experiences on the highway with the uhp, etc. however, i would say that my experiences have differed from yours. i've lived in utah over a decade, married into a mormon family (my wife is ex-mormon), i work with mormons, live with mormons, etc. my wife's family has both strong pioineer and polygamous roots (her great grandfather's family was in mexico for a bit and they even have some cool stories about pancho villa). neither of us have ever experienced nor even heard of some of the views that you mention above. i would totally agree with the idea that utah is probably closer to a theocracy than any state in the union, but in the sense of the people being very conservative, religious republicans not insane gentile haters. i would also agree that they have a strong persecutory complex from their early history and that many of them believe they have the one true religion. however, i do not believe that the positions you describe above are held by the majority of mormons that a person would meet in utah. rather, they would be an extreme view. back to lurking... regards, dan |

The extreme view is just that- the extreme of a scale that starts from 'neutral'. You don't need to meet but one of the extreme ones, and 'neutral' isn't available at all.
