There just aren’t many churches out there that:

Make you wear regulation underwear.

Make you wear white shirts at church.

Don’t allow weddings to be a celebration.

Dress up like the Pillsbury Doughboy and repeat silly rituals in secret.

Control your diet.

Ask you intensely personal questions.

Demand at least 10% of your income.

Control what you consider entertainment.

Control what you read.

Control who you associate with.

Bury you in Masonic regalia.

Determine your “worthiness.”

Christian churches just don’t do these things. The bottom line is Mormonism wishes it was a competitor to other Christian churches, it’s not.

MAKE? No one in the church makes me do anything! My spouse is Catholic. My friends are Jewish and Catholic. My underwear is none of your business though Victoria's Secret is a favorite store in our family. Our family loves sports, the arts and reading of all kinds of literature AND we enjoy associating with interesting people (religion is NOT a qualifier). Unless it's your money, don't worry about what I bury my family members in. I determine my worthiness and have been told to do so by the church. Even if what you charge is true for Mormons, why should it matter to you if you choose not to do it? Free will is alive and well in my religion.
