The same LDS folks that go around bashing others' religions are the same folks that want to make sure that everyone knows how wrong it is for Mormons to be persecuted and made fun of for their beliefs.<BR/><BR/>I loved listening to my husband's Catholic grandmother describe the rituals she enjoyed.mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03789803440939980928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13684790.post-47578054475472692312008-02-08T12:21:00.000-07:002008-02-08T12:21:00.000-07:00Could you put up a link to that pope is evil look ...Could you put up a link to that pope is evil look at his hat site, because I can't find it.daltongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16307904950109679631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13684790.post-28934637022946505712008-02-08T09:21:00.000-07:002008-02-08T09:21:00.000-07:00sooo...

Especially in a church setting.. ( mind you never in Sacrament or anything..) but when people would say things... in passing about the Catholic church or something to that nature in SS or RS, I loved started off my comment with,. " well, when I was Catholic".... ( then I would pause to let it all sink in... ) and would preceed with the comment. Even now when I am around new people who don't know me, and if something comes up about the Cathoic church I tend to tell people that I am catholic... just to burn them... I am also a bad person. But that is beside the point. I don't get why only a Catholic person should be insulted by someone dogging that religion. To me; dogging any solid religion is wrong. Unless that religion is totally evil; like say one that makes all women be slaves or something. I would have NO problem dogging that. I guess I am still sensitive about the whole issue. I once had an institute teacher at the U slyly ( or not so slyly) try to tell us that the Great and Abominable Church was indeed the Catholic church.... because they couldn't have any faith in anything because their faith is so wrong..... **blink...*** few things have slienced me in my life.. but that did.

Having some one who knows nothing about the church YOU'RE a part of (I too am a mormon and said person is a baptist) and telling you how insane your religion is based on the minimal things they've heard in office gossip. <BR/><BR/>Said Baptist told me (not knowing that I was a mormon at the time) that the crazy mormons baptize dead people (how did she find out? I thought that was a well kept funeral parlor secret) and that it's a commandment for us NOT to drink Coca cola. How crazy that there are 11 commandments. I must have missed that in early morning seminary as well. <BR/><BR/>People are really nonsensical and I find it entirely humorous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13684790.post-2823239922871711602008-02-07T17:54:00.000-07:002008-02-07T17:54:00.000-07:00I'm glad I read the comments because i was really ...I'm glad I read the comments because i was really hoping that someone would explain the Euro.

At first I tried to do the noncommittal noise thing but I could only stand it for so long. So then I started inserting little bits of commentary about how Pres. Hinckley spoke kindly of Pope John Paul II when he died; that several church officials attended his funeral; that the first Presidency attended a special mass in his honor; that the church has used church money to help restore Catholic buildings in Salt Lake; that the church heavily relies on Catholic Relief Services to distribute humanitarian aid; and the list goes on. Of course the people I was saying this to were LDS--wouldn't have been wise to try to defend the Catholic church in some circles--but I still got a lot of cold shoulders. It was so worth it though to see the looks on their faces cause they couldn't exactly accuse Pres. Hinckley admiring one of the horsemen of the apocalypse.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04986527567693226393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13684790.post-30129672438575533302008-02-07T14:10:00.000-07:002008-02-07T14:10:00.000-07:00Sometimes I just wonder about people.

People in other churches are awesome, and there is <I>nothing</I> about our faith that says we should go about bashing other people's faiths.
