;-) It's funny, but after seeing the SP episode I looked into the
Mormons again (did a comparitive religion assignment in high school
but I was pretty wasted at the time). SP was pretty much on the money
for the whole thing.

From the Mormons I've met they are fairly normal folks, but 2nd hand
stories make them out to be crazier then ****house rats.

Mormons hate you; actively.
They treat one another pretty well, but gentiles are fair game all round.
They take halachic/jesuitical 'logic' to new heights, and that's when they
bother to mask their hatred at all.
You kinda can't blame them- the early years must have been a horrorshow.
They have a strange social organization- kinda like Amish, but with guns ;-)
The whole 'survivalist/militia' thing comes out of the Mormon Lands. They've
lived like that for a hundred and fifty years.

Something "reality shoes" have shown. The bull**** factor. The more
someone talks about working hard, the less they work. Words are not
actions. But some people as they weasle into machiavellian cushy
jobs, can do nothing but propogandize with pep rally talk about
"tradition", old world values ("...i swore on my fathers
deathbed....", "my dad always used to say"). It may work on
boyfriends, girlfriends, or blue collar workers, but not everyones
stupid.

I used to work with a Mormon, and he let me borrow some books that
explained the religion and their version of history. I was amazed
that anyone could actually believe this stuff. Not so much the
spiritual side, but the historical...

It makes just slightly less sense than scientology.

So, now you think it implausible that the Amerindians are
the lost tribes of Israel? But I've seen video evidence
that it's true. Well, OK, it was Blazing Saddles, but
it was on video.

Well, for any believing Christian, the spiritual side of Mormonism is plenty
hard to take, once you know what the Mormon Church actually teaches. Here's a
sample:

"The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man's."

Once upon a consulting assignment I ended up parked at the Glasgow
Marriott, In idleness I picked up the copy of the Book of Mormon that
was where the Gideon Bible should have been. Having read through a
selection of chapters I concluded that the Monty Python team had
bundled up all the stuff that was just to silly to go into "The Life
of Brian" and sent it back via a time portal. It even made the Koran
look sensible.

Only understood through prayer, and witness of the Spirit.

Yikes, I hate to T-off on the various religious sects because reason ain't
a priority with any of 'em anyway, ay, but the Mormon version of "history"
has to go, Stormin' Mormon.

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.

I did some searching on the net as well after seeing that episode. It was
