They met on their Mission and were married within twelve days of their return. The perfect Mormon couple.

Such as? You have sex on the brain? As a married LDS person, I can have all the sex I want without sinning.

What about people who think it's fun to steal or murder? Should they have their fun?

Only if they're stealing and murdering you.

Yeah he made it so we can get fat off of it. Why does everything that tastes sooo good is so bad for you?
This is a pretty mean joke god played on us making most things that taste good bad for you.

One of the weirdest things in the church is the no clapping or applause in the chapel. Why is showing appreciation for another person's talent considered "not reverent"?

I hate you too, mayo-lover. That proves God love me since he created me to hate mayonnaise.

Because the bishopric and visiting high councilor can't sleep through it. However, a bit of loud laughter at a corny joke is permitted as a compromise.

All the sex YOU want? Really?

Does your wife get any input?

It's really bizarre, considering the whooping and shouting and writhing and tongues and pentecostal behavior in the early church.
