My Mormon neighbors make nice cookies, the best thing is that each wife makes a separate batch!

The LDS "family first" mantra is nothing but a PR stunt. If you're a non-mormon or heaven forbid, a former mormon, you are often shunned, disparaged, and excluded from the most central family gatherings including funerals (as a speaker) and weddings since they are in the LDS-only temples. Most Mormons aren't aware that their temple rituals came from the Masons and even LDS historians agree that Mason rituals were invented in the 16th century. So faithful Mormons must face the fact that their rituals are 95% masonic so why would God use that as the means to bring them to Him and Godhood? Most Mormons don't realize that anciently, with the Jewish temple, patrons came to it to become worthy rather than live so that they could come. Big difference. And it was there that sacrifices (the metaphor of Christ's sacrifice) allowed them to be worthy. So Mormons must wrestle with the fact that their temples aren't a restoration of anything Biblical, and even worse, their exclusionary tactics fly in the face of New Testament Christianity. Read Luke 18 for some grounding here. Also read 1 Cor 3 where Paul says that now, we are the temple. Psuedo Christian cults are always about control and the LDS church is exactly that. And oddly, not even their founding prophet would have been deemed worthy to enter the temples that Mormons enter today.

I don't believe in all of the stereotypical things that you hear about Mormons but not all of them believe in polygamy. I have known several Mormons in my life and find for the most part that they are very kind and funny.

I'm an athiest, and my two best friends are on mormon missions, 90 percent of my friends are mormon, as well as most my family
So yeah, I think their belief is off, but I like them

Aw, they're okay. I guess. Sorta. They blend in good, don't grow tires, sofas or refrigerators in their yard, don't drop ashes on your piano, or spill beverages that can't be cleaned up.
They also keep their horns shorn short, don't eat babies (theirs), or sacrifice virgins anymore, or play Led Zepplin records backwards to get new revelations from the devil. CDs are better.
They have a wonderful sense of humor and irony as evidenced in Yahoo, and an outstanding capacity for compassion and self introspection.
Was this a doctrinal question?

Just like any group of people, I've liked most that I've met, but there are some that I prefer not to associate with. I've been Mormon my whole life.

I like people based on their personalities and actions. So there are Mormons that I really like, and ones that I don't, just like everybody else.

I'd have a big problem if I didn't like Mormons! I'm LDS (all my life).
BTW, we are Christians, we don't practice polygamy, we aren't a cult and we aren't weird!
