Being brainwashed with their (to me) strange ideology and religion they were unable to understand that nearly nobody (including me) was really interested into their message.

I'm not Mormon but a typical evangelical Christian in the Billy Graham mold - just like most of the rest of Asian Christians are, but I can't stop reminding myself of the following Bible verses when I see what you wrote above:

Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely? - 2 Corinthians 11:7

Yup. Most of us Europeans like our way of sex and we do not want to adopt your personal lifestlye. Since you as a person can not represent America as a whole I also can not represent my continent of course. But let me say that much: Yes I for my part like sex and I think that lust is a gift of God that has to be apprechiated.

But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. - Ephesians 5:3-5

No offence. Nevertheless those 2 Mormons didn't preach the gospel of God, they preached their own -strange- religion and values that are both different to the kind of Christianity I was taught when I was younger. It had nothing to do with the loving God I know. Their idol was a boring chastiser. To me they appeared like two convinced but false prophets.

Do you think that sexuality in Europe is unclean, fornication, fitlthy etc. etc. etc.? I would think twice before I would answer this question if I were you.
