text: As a female living in Utah (worse yet, UT County) I would agree that the religion is as weird as other extremists or fundamentalists.  Also, I'm sick of being an outsider because I REFUSE to join their sick little world.  I've done my research, so I'm not just pulling that out of my behind.  How anybody can believe the crap that that church spews is beyond me.  The only thing I can come up with is that they want to believe it and the church discourages their members from learning about other faiths.  Ask a mormon how much they know about other religions and they will all come back with the same memorized crap they learned from the MTC.  Any of you who haven't read the book "Under the Banner of Heaven", you should read it.  Very interesting.  They should make the church members read it.  Anyway, enough ranting-have a good day!
