I am glad I do not live in the America that Why me does. It is Gods country up here in the Pacific Northwest.
I would think mocking other religions preferable to adhering to a belief system that declared other religions were wrong and disdained by God. (to say nothing of being associated with satan)
Oh, and by the way, when I was a temple-goer, the ceremony included the mocking of a preacher/priest, along with associating that preacher/priest with satan. In my view, LDS have no right to whine about being mocked or criticized.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

Are you talking about the catholic faith? Please don't. I know that catholics believe that they have the truth and no one else does but they should not be mocked for it. Also, I hope that you were not referring to the penecostals just because they consider Mormonism from satan.
However, just because these faiths have such beliefs does not mean that they should be mocked or have what they consider sacred to be dragged through the mud.
For Mormons who have a restorationist church, the belief would be that other faiths have truths but the complete truth. But they do not believe that others will go to hell.
I intend to lay a foundation that will revolutionize the whole world. Joseph Smith We are “to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to provide for the widow, to dry up the tear of the orphan, to comfort the afflicted, whether in this church, or in any other, or in no church at all…” Joseph Smith

So you think pointing the finger at catholics absolves Mormonism? Lol
Have you ever been through the temple, whyme?

Starting a thread about which religion makes fun of which other religion is like asking who has better cartoons Disney or Warner Brothers. Mickey Mouse or Bugs Bunny. In the Corporate World of the Mormons, its all about the MONEY. MONEY MONEY MONEY.
So if someone posts your silly Magical Mormon god-making film on the internet, BIG DEAL. The real question of the leaders of the Mormon Corporation is will the "Stupids" still give us their MONEY? And what do they care about how silly or stupid the rituals are, as long as the adherent give them their MONEY.
YEP, MORE MONEY, MORE MONEY, Mormon MONEY, Mormon MONEY.

And even here in Brooklyn we have a functioning sewer system.

But not light cotton. Would it be okay on CAF for people at large to mock the catholic faith? Do you think that that would serve a wonderful purpose? A person's faith is personal and private and devout catholics would not like their faith mocked. What did the Bible say? Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Can you learn from the Bible Hobo?
Can you open the Bible?
Make sure it is the Bible, and not the Book of Mormon. There is a difference.
When the Mormon church is mocked half as much as the Catholic church, or any other church for that matter, you can get back to me then.

Again, here are Mormons making up their own definititions.
Mormons claim to be restorationists, which means bring back something that was lost. No Mormon has ever been able to give a date when the church/priesthood was lost.
Hence, if it wasn't lost, no need for a restoration.
I thought your imaginary priest and nun friends would have covered that with you by now.

Be careful out there in brooklyn. People are being shot left and right all over new york city. And the cops are nutty with their guns. And look what happened in the village to that poor guy with the car when a mob attacked him and began jumping up and down on his car right there in the middle of the village. Of course, all this reminds me of the 70's. Maybe it is good to have the good ol' days back. Now we just need to retake times square and bring it back to slime square. Those were the good ol' days when I would hang out with my friends. Good ol' freddy was into prostitution and the rest of the boys had their charms too, porn, show girls etc.
That is why I love taxi driver with al pacino. I see some of the old crowd on the streets of the square.
Oh well, enough of memory lane. Enjoy brooklyn. But the crazies are creeping back in. Wear a helmet.

I am sorry beastie. I thought that you were pointing fingers at them. Not me. Perhaps I misread your post. Yes, I have been through the temple but this was in the 80's.
All religions believe that the others are wrong. No problem with that. But religions should not be mocked because of their quirks. That is all apart of religion. The jews rock back and forth while wearing special cloths, the penecostals roll around in the aisle and jump up and down shouting praise Jesus, the catholics kneel up the stairs to reach the black madonna in vilnius. etc.
My motto: no reason to mock.
