What was that?
Let's just say that when I was in the service, I had some expereinces with Mormons that are at the root of my underlying dislike of them. I don't want to go into a lot of details because a lot of it is personal. What I walked away with were these people were 1) Weird and 2) Untrustworthy.
This, by the way, was before I ever opened the book of Mormon or started actually researching their history, and I didn't know Joseph Smith from Joe Blow. I didn't do that until years later, and then it kind of made more sense.
I've had bad experiences with black people but I don't mistrust all black people.
1) Not as bad as what I went through.
2) Not all black folks believe in the same bullshit or have the same ethical code.
Please don't insult blacks by comparing them. To be a Mormon, you have to make a conscious effort to beleive bullshit. You have to go through some pretty serious denials of reality. You have to pretend up is down and black is white.
When you have people emptying out their bank accounts because the Prophet told them to, that's kind of a scary level of group think. Jesse Jackson or Barack Obama would never have that level of control.
