Mormon
December 17, 2009
i have been hearing a lot of bad things about my religion. Just because im mormon doesnt mean im not human. it just means i have a diffrent view on religous matters. also fyi we dont drink,smoke,or do anything like that because we choose not to not because we have to.

I agree with you. I am Mormon, and I am open to other religions, so I wish that people could be open with mine. Though I live in Utah, there are a lot of mormons who don't do what the religion says, and then there are non-mormons who have all our same values. So i really don't think religion matters, but rather the way you live your life. I think people shouldn't judge us by the negative labels we've been given. We all have our own beliefs, and we should all respect each others.
Don't think I'm judging you or discriminationg you in any way but I do not agree with your mormon religion. I a chrisian and just like you i dont drink smoke curse or anything becaus I love Jesus and I liv him and don't want to disapoint him. But the thought that we, imperfecet humans who sin, can become a God is not right. God is hte only perfecet human/thing. NO HUMAN ON THIS EARTH CAN BE PERFET WE ALL SIN> Romans 3:23 says for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of god. I know Mormons belive in the bible too . The book of Mormon and the bible do not coincide with eachother.

Amen to this. I'm not Mormon but I live in Salt Lake City, Utah. Before I moved here from LA, I heard a lot of bad things about the mormon culture, and few turned out to amount to anything. Now, some of my best friends are Mormons.
