Thanks for the kind words...

That was really my one and only time with contact with Mormons...once on the Mormon threads I saw someone post a picture of Ted Bundy, with the notation, that look here, Ted Bundy was a Mormon...HUH?...what was that supposed to imply?....it seems the poster wanted others to associate the killer Ted Bundy with the Mormon faith...

I have seen the same lame trick used in the Catholic threads...anti-Catholics get on there, and talk about the drunken priest in their town, or talk about some priest that molested some child that they knew...

It is as if, by pointing out the ‘crimes’ of those in certain faiths, we can then make the leap that all the others of that same faith, are tainted...

So by that weird logic, being that my only real life contact with the Mormons was through these two young fellas, I would have to conclude that all Mormons, were just as these two fellas were..

It is stupid, and a complete mistake, to point out some evil people, who happened to be members of a particular faith, and try to paint all others of that faith in the same manner...and believe me, I have seen that happen here...

My experience then would have to lead me in the opposite direction...if I were to judge all Mormons based on my only real life experience with these two fellas, I would have then have to say, that all Mormons were like them...

In truth, using just a little grain of common sense, we cannot judge any religion based solely on the actions, good or bad, of a few, who happen to be members of that religion...there are good and bad, in all religions, just as in life...

But posting a picture of Ted Bundy,with the notation, that he was a Mormon, was vile, as far as I am concerned...Ted Bundy was not vile and evil, because he was a Mormon, he was just plain evil and vile, regardless of what religion he may have been...
