<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (TheCrane @ Mar 31 2007, 02:11 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I would think Atheist is the worst (if you even call it a religion) because 90% of them are dumb. The few geniuses that are atheists are alright and the ones that just don't believe in god are fine but all the ones I ever see talk all this bull**** about being atheist and cry about everything, complain, say stuff like "God is a mere figment of the media to make people go paranoid and it's all in the government's master plan to take over the universe" are not my favorite people...btw in case you're wondering I'm not atheist or Christian because they way I said things might have made it sound I was defending Jesus.</div>A) Atheism isn't a religionB) God forbid they listen to logic and facts and have some critical thinkingC) The thread is about who it would suck to be, not who you have personal distaste for
I guess I really didn't finish what I was going to say. I kind of got caught up in saying stuff. Anyways what I meant by it was that it would suck to be them because a lot of them are stupid. Some dumb thing I think. But truly I would think mostly Jewish would suck the most because of what people said already. And refer to what I said about "if you can even call it a religion" once again.
Atheism is a religion to some extent, because it has a specified set of beliefs. The most specific is that there is no god. It is not organized, but that doesn't mean it isn't religion.I don't get what source told you that 90% of atheists are stupid. It sounds more like a made up statistic based on foolish stereotyping.I do not hate or dislike Mormons, but I think they've got it bad. Same for Muslims. I really don't see how you could believe the things written in their texts, but c'est la vie. I mean really, Jesus in America? Heh. Scientology is also very problematic, but I won't say anymore lest they hunt me down.
Someone talk about Mormons tell me why they have it so bad, Im just interested since I dont know alot about them
Mormons don't have it bad, they are just not highly respected in the US because they're weird and they try to sell their religion. They claim that they were persicuted, and thats what lead them to their journey west; but the fact is they were doing to persicuting and everyone else just stood up to them. they're also very secretive, which always leads to assumtions by people.

It wasn't made by Mormons as I understand, but it was pretty weird.They believe in Jesus but also in other gods, such as Elohim (think of the "spirit" of the holy trinity). They believe that Satan and many others are also gods (this is why I personally feel that they aren't really "Christian"... while they believe in Christ, he is not the only god). Also, they believe that Satan is a brother of Jesus. If you live your life as god wants, you receive your own planet to populate and so forth, rather than going to heaven. They believe that the Bible is true, but that Christianity required other books such as the Pearl of Great Price (forgive me if I got the name wrong) and the Book of Mormon. They believe that God (Elohim) not only caused Mary to become pregnant with Jesus, but actually WENT DOWN TO EARTH and impregnated her.Once again, I'm not claiming that all Mormons believe this or even have knowledge of it, but this is what I have heard that some sects believe.

Don't forget that in their "heaven" women are eternally pregnant(though they claim thats a metophore for something else), they also believe that if you're worthy enough you yourself become a god, and you are equal to God himself. And at one time they believe that their prophet was the reincarnation of God or some sh*t, I forget how it went but they still believe their prophit is like the highest form of human on Earth. They also believe that Moroni(might have been manti, or Nephi) was the first human in the New World, and that he started a great civiliziation, and all the native Americans come from that civilization, and that they themselves are decendents from that civilization. oh yeah, and in heaven all people of color become white. A lot of their beliefs are like a mix between Islam, Christianity, Judism, and Hinduism, with some other Polythesitic ideas thrown in. Basically they took parts of other religions they liked, and combined them into forming their own cult.Josepth Smith(the founding wacko of the church) is supposably to have seen a white Salamander who was actually god. the Salamander told Smith the Book of Mormon. but in the Bible, in the Book of Isiah I believe, God tells Isiah that Satan would appear to a false prophit in the guise of a white Salamander.

As I understand it, you populate your planet once you die or whatever.And yeah, they believe that Smith was a god and equal to Jesus (who also was a prophet as well). Basically, their term for god is flaky at best.Their former views of black people were also very questionable... I think I remember that they thought that black people were devils (and black because of the fire). They changed their views in the 1860's (WOW I WONDER WHY).
It was the 1970s when they changed their views, infact some places in Utah it's still legal to own slaves(though the 13th amendment over rules ). and no I am not Mormon, and just because I live in Salt lake City doesn't mean I am automatically mormon. Salt Lake is mostly non Mormon now, as are some other major cities in Utah like Park City, Ogden, and St George. though don't take Wikipedia's word for it, it's numbers and the numbers from the state census don't match.
