Okay you don't believe in my Church thats fine but why do you feel the need to go around bashing it. I don't believe in the Catholic church but I don't stand out side their church waving hateful signs and mocking the things that they consider holy. This is a pathetic and Un-American thing to do

Perhaps I din't make clear exactally what I consider Un-American. They often will try to prevent people from going to the even they are protesting. In their narrow little minds they are trying to "rescue us"

Actually the right to assemble and freedom of speech are two VERY American things to do, I'm not saying I always agree and I'm definitely not saying it's always intelligent, but it is American.

I know an idea in What you believe in because I am currently taking world religions. People bash other people because they are racist and want attention. I like that you have the right idea to be generous with other religions. I myself have a life but I don't go make fun of other people but one thing that can be an influence is what people see around in the world and what you see on T.V. like watching South Park in my World Religions class about your religion. People like having fun but the problem is that they can be laughing at what others believe in and I believe that is very wrong but I myself have trouble too but I just try to work on it and become a more open minded person. People want to find a purpose and meaning in life and that is why there is so many different religions out there. But they shouldn't be making fun of you since Mormons is a branch off from Christianity. Different Prophets but same God.

Ummm I'm Catholic and if you consider someone who does not believe the Church of Jesus Christ and Latterday Saints to be "Anti-Mormon" that's me I guess. I respect the Mormons' and actually have had numerous discussions with them in my home. However, I didn't agree with even the basis of the church. The men were really nice, respectful, and generous people. They even offered to clean my home- LOL. Anyways, they made a good impression with me and that will last a lifetime, just not convince me to convert though. God bless...

The religious right is the cause for a lot of questionable acts. It's not necessarily un-american for them to protest but you would think they could make better use of their time doing some good in their community through their church instead of hating on yours.

Mormons tend to think that anyone who isn't mormon is anti-mormon. I am an EXmormon. I don't believe in the church or it's teachings. But, it does work for some people and as long as they aren't trying to push it on me then that's their thing. I don't mind.
I think a lot of it has to do with how pushy mormons and mormon missionaries are. I know they feel they are trying to save people, but most of them are a little over the top.

Why did three Bishops show up at my church trying to find out why my church was so big??? Why can't I get rid of the missionaries that keep showing up at my door and they send out the next rotation??? No i am not showing up at their church with sings, but they won't stay away from MY CHURCH, OR MY DOOR!!!

The Anti-Mormons have very busy lives. They have to go online and one-up eachother over who's more Anti-Mormon, then they have to get some ideas of what to do to be more Anti-Mormon, then they have to come up with some stuff that rhymes with Latter Day Saints, so they can say something more than just, "Latter Day Saints? More like Latter Day Paints!" It's pretty exhausting I hear.

No, Anti-Mormons don't have lives. I am not Anti-Mormon, but I have met plenty of them, and plenty of Anti-Catholics too. True Christians would focus on their own belief system instead of bashing others.

We have rich, incredible, full and wonderful lives free of the bullsh!t of supposed apostolic authority! We have a greater circle of friends (gays and lesbians and intellectuals and writers and artists and musicians...) and no longer have to worry if a member sees us at Walmart of Sunday.
Why are you here today? Isn't this supposed to be your day off from 'worldly' affairs?
Oh yeah, We're free from hypocrisy, too.

I say not really. They have pretty much been saying the same things over and over again, since the church started. They wanted to destroy it then and want to destroy it today.
