It seems like a creepy obsession. It was like that other freeper that only talked about pit bull attacks and another one who was fixated on trains.

I just don't get it. At all. I think some Mormon beliefs are screwy, and they would probably think some (or most!) of mine are screwy, but the LAST thing I'm worried about these days is a bunch of people based in Salt Lake City who have a Tabernacle Choir and tithe and hoard food and pretty much don't bug me. As neighbors, they're fine and I don't see many crazed crackheads among 'em. This is a world dangerously full of threats, and Mormons simply aren't one of them. As I say, I just plain don't get it.

Well, I think their beliefs are pretty odd too. But they aren't trying to blow me up or kill me like some religions. I figure what they believe is between them and God.

What I think is really odd is the way some people are fixated on them. I often wonder what it is. Were they Mormons once, and left the religion due to something they can't get over? It puzzles me.

I grew up Roman Catholic, and some people (if they knew my past and what I experienced) might think I would have an axe to grind with them on a major scale. But I don't. I let it go. I figure God will sort it all out in the end.

When I see people fixated on this, it is very similar in my eyes to the way some people regard Judaism.

Since I've not seen any of them expressed (other than people who OBSESS over Mormonism are strange), I cannot comment on whether I'd find them weird; too.


Would you like to tell us just where you are coming from?
