Originally posted by leonheartmmI'm actually not a Mormon anymore, and I very much enjoyed Hitchen's book, enough so that I recognized its text from the videos of the original post on this thread. That said, this video quite simply didn't hit the nail - in terms of validity or humor.

i post anti mormonISM material.not to vex mormons but to get people talking. honestly, if mormonism wasnt so cultlike and secretive of their ACTUAL tenants and practices, i would simply post videos or quotes asking for people to discuss it.
but everytime you try(very much like scientology) to point out the most ridiculous parts of the beleif system, you are faced with chants of discrimination and stereotyping, as if those things{space gods/magical underwear/a million other contreversial things} are simply myths which even the beleivers consider ridiculous.
but in reply, you never actually have the beleiverse tell you what they DO beleive instead. and ofcourse, theres ample evidence of such ridiculous practices despite the denials, and so the only thing thats left to even get people to start talking about these issues is mockery.
