Let's discuss Mormonism.

The closer you venture towards hubs of LDS members, the more anti-LDS the non-believers are. This is certainly the case in my town.

This is why I suspect Obama might've won white evangelicals in Utah.

Was there any type of Charismatic Mormon offshoot? I find it kind of weird that there wasn't. Any Mormon churches where people raise their hands or dance and jump around?

Where exactly do non-Mormons who there's nothing else actually wrong with ostensibly end up, and if it depends on other factors what might those be?

I think the theology is that they are given a second chance to accept Mormonism in the afterlife (hence the "baptism of the dead"), but I'll let him elaborate.

What do you think of ordaining women?

So me and Nathan would be higher than you but lower than any Mormons basically?

Either is quite a bit better than what Christianity would have in store for me, I suppose.

Actually I believe at worse that you actually will get you what you expect after death. You simply won't be resurrected when God's Kingdom comes down and Heaven and Earth reunite.

Why are LDS leadership so old anyway?

Is it true that the previous LDS President basically prohibited involvement in "the scene" (which of course he wasn't familiar with no doubt, but I do believe he said something along the lines of that Mormons should not be involved with punk music)? I remember vaguely hearing something about that.

Worth nothing I have never met a Mormon in the scene, just as I've never met a real Catholic in my 10+ years in it, even amongst open Christians (now granted I don't go polling people about their religion at shows or anything but every single person I've ever heard of in the scene that was raised Catholic or Mormon [obviously the former are far more common] has either cut off from them and gone totally non-religious, went to another much more loosely organized form of Christianity, or didn't join another church at all, but still identified as simply Christian but not as Catholic or Mormon.)

What's your opinion of the early 20th century practice of deliberately having LDS leaders in different parts of Utah endorse different candidates so the state could be a swing state and receive more attention?

Do Mormons still hold excommunication trials? And how does that work for ex-members who actually want to leave?

Have you noticed ever some sort of "Mormon accent"? Supposedly Mormons often tend to talk in a very folksy manner, like how they did in Napoleon Dynamite. I should listen if I run into some missionaries again.

Is it true that close to half of adult Mormons are converts? Something I remember hearing, though I don't know if that's worldwide instead of just the US, or something like the US outside of Utah, or something like that.
