I am actually a member of the NOM site, and I think that New Order Mormon is an umbrella group of people who have some issue (either major or small) who still want/feel the need to (for family reasons or whatever) to have some connection to the church--though within its ranks falls a vast difference in people--which, I'm sure there are many differences (somewhat more subtle) within the general membership of "True Blue Mormons." I had an English Mormon friend who thought it was wrong to vote against same-sex marriage just because her religion thought it was a sin (she thought it was too, but she didn't think it was right to bring that belief into politics)--there are slight differences of opinion throughout the church, I think.

Any adult or older teenager who joins the Mormons is clearly an idiot.


[MODERATOR NOTE: Please do not call people (or groups of people) inflammatory or insulting names like "idiot" in the Celestial Forum. As an alternative, you should say something like, "Any adult or teenager who joins the Mormons is, in my opinion, lacking in critical thinking skills typically manifest by that age."]
"Finally, for your rather strange idea that miracles are somehow linked to the amount of gay sexual gratification that is taking place would require that primitive Christianity was launched by gay sex, would it not?"
