Title: He's a Mormon: AAA!
Post by: Bart the General on September 26, 2014, 02:34:10 am
Arnox is a Mormon, Ask Arnox Anything!!!!

I'll start: are the cultural practices of Mormonism meant as an "ideal" way of life such as Muslims have Muslim practices that they believe are the true noble path in life, and if so, why is it so fiercely regional and racially exclusive? Who wouldn't want to be part of a polygamous religion anyway? I guess what I'm asking is "do Mormons think the shit they do is perfect and correct in the eyes of god or are they just trying to be molded into what they think god wants them to do?"

I don't think I've ever seen more religious stereotypes in one post. That must be a record or something. :tup:

Try harder, OP.

How is asking whether Mormons hold themselves to be living the ideal image of the Lord a stereotype? I'm genuinely interested, I don't know anything about Mormonism and it's interesting to me. You could be a better spokesperson you know. If that offended you for some reason how about "How does the 'missionary' aspect of Mormonism affect everyday life?" Like, are you expected to try to convert people whenever the opportunity arises?

Nope. Too late. I'm feeling very uncooperative now. Make another thread if you honestly want to know. :P

I wouldn't mind hearing about your beliefs, Arnox.  Have had Mormon acquaintances in the past but somehow it seemed inappropriate to ask them about such things.  What really differentiates Mormonism from different Christian sects?

I'm adding rudeness and aloofness to my list of Mormon stereotypes

I just re-read the OP and I can't figure out how Arnox was offended by it.

Sometimes I worry that I have cold eyes so I try to let my eyelids fall more so they look softer and more stoned I guess. True story. Maybe this transfers over text based mediums too

Religions are all beautiful representations of cultures and ancient traditions all over the world.  Human expression is always wonderful!

I also like that there are so many similarities to be found among the religions.  Like there truly must be a great deal of truth expressed in these spiritual practices, because all human societies seem drawn to them in some form or another.  Mormon, Buddhist, Muslim... we're all basically the same.

And we have much to learn from one another.  Studying and embracing the truths that others find in the world should make it easier for us to embrace the truths we find in ourselves and in our religious practices.

Is that a good enough explanation for you? :P

What about satanism?  Or .....ancient mesoamericans whos religious practices involved brutal decapitations and dismemberment?  Are those 'beautiful representations of cultures and ancient traditions'?

I honestly never understood what "satanism" even was.

But those other religions have great mythologies that helped them explain the way of the world and find meaning within it.  So yeah, beautiful! :)

Mormons hate the government and stock their basements with food and guns and they have many wives to work and make money, clean the house and polish the knob.
