Everytime I ask a Mormon if they're mad at me, they always say, "I'm not mad." What is that suppose to mean? It's like saying you're not human. Everyone gets mad. Are they just supressing their feelings?

It means that they are not mad at you.
"It's like saying you're not human. Everyone gets mad."
No, it's saying that they are not mad at you! True everyone gets mad but only fools stay mad.
"Are they just supressing (sic) their feelings?"
Okay, you are seriously over analyzing this. Not everyone is so selfish and so petty as to hold grudges. Also, not everyone finds the need to voice their anger every time since angry thoughts (if allowed to) usually wane.

Unfortunately people are given beliefs and ideas in their life and they just accept these falsehoods blindly. I am saddened to hear that a good freind of yours has taken the advice of an unwise person. I do not house my faith in any denomination, because those churches are based on rules and life is not that. Jesus stated that. Heck, even when I studied what the Mormons are, there was an all powerful line that stated that when God answered Smith's question 'Which church should I follow' he said 'None of them' I have come to understand something very powerful, there is no church that speaks the truth. The truth can not be spoken. Every so often a very enlightened person comes along, like Jesus or even Buddha. Their presence is so powerful that the confused masses try to mimic these people, create rules to emulate who they were....but here lies the folly. None of these enlightened people followed a church or a rule book, they simply lived in the now. May I suggest a book? The Power of Now by Echart Tolle It changed my life and I really feel, if you are ready for it, you will gain much peace after reading it.

Perhaps this question is all about each or your definitions of what being "mad" really means. I am Mormon and yes, when things do go well, I get mad. Especially when my favorite football team looses a closely fought game. Does that mean I stay mad forever? No. I often feel sheepish that such a trivial thing as a football game gets me upset. I recognize that as a personal fault and try to do better next time.
Mormons believe in personal progress and trying to become better people. Indeed you may say that we literally try and follow Christ's admonition to, "Be ye perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect." Its gonna take a lot of effort for me to get that one down.....but I keep trying.

Yeah something like that. We are like Vulcans, taught to supress our emotions.
ROFL
Yeah sometimes we get mad just like all humans, but being mad is a choice- and maybe they have chosen not to get mad at you. Or maybe they don't want to give you the satisfaction of knowing that they are mad.

Simple, mormons look good on the outside, but are normal behind closed doors (there true selves) they are suppose to appear to look good and deserve an academy award for there performance because if you get around a christian of another faith, you will see REAL sin nature in action, even though christians are suppose to be a good example. anyways, when I grew up mormon, we even tried to excuse and explain and rationalize Jesus behavior in the temple (jesus was not suppose to get angrey) when he ransacked it in a rage, liek Jesus couldn't be mad and run the money changers out, as a born again christian, I could care less if he got angrey and threw all the money changers out.

Seriously retards, what is with the Mormon bashing? I keep seeing you idiots talk about Mormons being a brainwashed cult. Seriously, if this isn't a case of the proverbial pot calling the kettle black, I don't know what is. Mormons are just as normal as Baptists, Catholics, and Lutherans with the nice bonus of them being less likely to lie about the others and spew hate. Stop being idiots and leave the Mormons alone.

Everyone is not mad all the time. Maybe they mean that they are not mad at that time. They may be mad at another time.
It sounds like you are mad at them for not being mad at you.
Are you mad?

Probably depends on why you think they should be getting mad at you.
Odds are they dont care enough to get mad.

Well, they might be differentiating from being truly and honestly irritated or ticked off and being mad enough to stop sharing their gummy bears with you, forever. That's pretty mad, I mean.

They are suppressing feelings. Thats what being a mormon is all about. Suppressing feelings of anger, desire, enjoyment. Just self sacrifice for an invisible man that they heard stories about by some guy who read shells out of a hat.
