Ok then. I'm glad to hear your religion doesn't have those crazy beliefs and never did. Although, I can't help wondering, if your church did in fact hold those beliefs would you be open about it and admit it? I doubt anyone would want to admit their religion taught those things.
But...many Mormons DID teach the Mark of Cain crap. It was a serious problem. It was never canon but that doesn't mean some racists didn't do racist things.

But...but...the whole "content of your heart" thing.

In all honesty, every Mormon I've met has always been among the nicest people ever. There was a Mormon family in our neighborhood as a kid, and I remember the neighborhood parents gossiping about them constantly. They'd watch the Mormons from their living room windows, start rumors, and scare us kids with ideas about cults and polygamy. I think everyone was jealous or something. The Mormon parents exercised frequently and looked great while everyone else was growing their beer bellies out. We played with the son a lot, and I was like "the worst thing about them is that they invite us to dinner all the time." They weren't trying to proselytize folks and even the dog was tv sitcom sweet.It's ****ed up we live in an age where being nice makes people hate you though. Wtf?
I had another Mormon friend who became atheist as an adult. He just said theism no longer resonates with him, but he still carries all the Mormon values. He lives in Japan with his wife and kid now, and offered me a free spot whenever I decide to come visit.
Mormons will work themselves sick with "public service." It's as if they have the inability to say no. "I have to move my grandmother and I have a bad back. Can you help?"
"Well, my wedding was on that day. I'll see if I can hold the reception at your new house and get the whole wedding procession to unload you there."
Also, Mormons can be super judgmental and self-righteous. Hate it. But it's usually the Utah Mormons who are like that.

It's the little things like that which makes Mormons so amazing. We are always looking out for everyone. We love everyone.

Can you do one for me too please?
Mormonism > Evangelicals
Are Evangelicals even really Christians anymore with their hatred and skewing of Christ's teachings?

Okay, we will get you proxy-dunked. 👆
Depends. How far do you have to go into the sexism, racism, and self-righteous judgmentalism before you've polluted Christ's teachings enough to no longer be considered a Christian without committing the No True Scotsman fallacy?
You can claim to be an F1 Driver but if you don't drive and F1, only talk about Pickup Trucks, you're not an F1 Driver. Therefore, it's not committing the No Scotsman Fallacy to say, "You're not an F1 Driver." Similar to the "Christian" label.

On this wrestling board, everyone was saying how Mormon's just do their thing and leave people alone, and asked how anyone could hate them.
Leave it to the Brit to start listing reasons. They seem to be good at that.
Non Brits: "Hey, this is great. How can anyone ever hate this?"
Brit: "Hold my beer."
