Why is it a "prejudice"?
Frankly, I never have understood why being critical of a belief system becomes off limits if you call it a "religion".
People who think Obama was born in Kenya are nuts.
People who think Bush blew up the World Trade Center are nuts.
People who think aliens from Zeta Reticuli are kidnapping Americans with the consent of our government are nuts.
People who think Joseph Smith was talking to God and God told him to have sex with those teenage girls are nuts.
Only one of those nutty belief system deserves "reverence" like race or ethnicity because they've managed to dress it up as a "religion" and put the silliness in a gilded book?
Agreed.
Looking askance at a supposedly mature and intelligent adult who wears magic underwear isn't "predjudice". Its common sense!
Besides, the Mormons really are nutz. I have a really crazy sister who married a morm and jeeeez - they have some really whacked beliefs.
The Mormons run a large national assisted living chain for seniors. And they do an excellent and fair job doing it.
I know many. They are fine people. I have relatives that live in their first class facilities.
I have worked for many attorneys that are Mormon also. They are also fine people.
Just like all Baptists are not the same, not all Mormons are the same.
The boogeyman ain't going to get you so grow up.
It is very unlikely that anyone as weak, hateful, and obsessed as some of these bigots (about faith, race, etc) will ever grow up.
