So then that South Park episode wasn't too far off? Interesting.

In all honesty I have nothing against Mormans at all, but I do find the religion restricting. Than again so is Catholicism (which is why I am no longer anything ). Plus the whole mission thing can really screw up a kids life and I think it's wrong for a parent to force their child to do it simply because it is part of their religion.

I also hate how Mormons excommunicate people with multiple wives, talk about picking and choosing what you want to believe in. I feel as though that's like if I picked up the bible and chose what I wanted to believe in rather than following it like I should. That's what I despise about all religions though, so whatever.
