I do not think that it should have to be explained why LDS is ridiculous. Do a small amount of research and if you disagree with me I will laugh at you.
Christianity should not be the main target because Islam is far more sick and laughable.

So you can't be a Christian unless you follow your narrow interpretation of the Bible? Tell me, do you also regard self-identified Christians as hypocrites if they don't keep kosher? |
Well, you know that dietary laws were pretty much overturned by Christ, don't you?
And you know that Mormons follow a secondary book that is absurd, don't you?
I am not one to judge the measure of Christianity but I am also not the one who is going to include strange, polygamist cults as Christian.

And what are Muslims?

If something's so big, of course there's going to be criticism. You can't expect something to be universally popular.
No religions should be the object of ridicule or scorn in my opinion. It's the people in the religion who do the stuff we pick on, not the religion itself.

Islam is about as big as Christianity, as I remember.
Your last statement is generally fair, by the way.

It sounds like you want them to have a problem with gay marriage. If that happened, it would provide an answer to the title of this thread.

I want people to call him onit because I hate the way politicians pose for religion, and more than that, I hate Barack Obama and the DNC; I strongly dislike all of the Republicans as well.
I think these people should have no power -- let alone power over our goddamned economy.
