It's interesting seeing the different reactions LDS congregations have to unvarnished truth regarding history. Some are really into it, some react with alarm, others just sleep it off like any other lesson. Having just moved from our home of the past ten years, I think I'll attend the local congregation some Sunday just to A) Surprise my wife, and B) See the difference in the local church. There kind of seems to be a difference in "class" of Mormon... we moved from a very humble area to a very affluent area. The difference in appearance of attendees -- from the outside -- and their level of involvement is surprising.
I think the Utah vs. Non-Utah phenomenon is interesting, too. Those outside of Utah seem by and large to be much more receptive to the truth regarding history -- warts and all -- than those I've met inside of Utah. And I've met thousands.
Yes. It's so fun to be condescending, isn't it? Especially to all those ignorant Mormons. And Utahns. Rubes all.

There are no self-proclaimed "anti-mormon" sites that I am aware of. I'd like to see what one looks like. I imagine it looks exactly like a regular website that is critical of religion or Mormonism ;)
Split infinitive aside, I think you're just being disingenuous. There are anti-sites to most major religions.

Well, I guess if you enjoy being condescending, go right ahead. Please don't stop on my account. However, as a Utahn for the past few years, it might be the type of conversation that can only end with a gun.

Where's the split infinitive?
Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen
