You may want to check out the news on the LDS veiws on the golden compass to, and why would an Atheist be doing a story about demons and Witches???

Answer 1

To your first question: okay.

To your second question: why WOULDN'T and atheist write a story about demons and witches. They'd be infinitely more objective than, say, Christians.

Answer 2

So what is your point? Those statistics have nothing to do with the LDS church. The church offices are there, and a lot of members live there to, but the majority of LDS families live in Idaho now, and then spread out over all over the country.
Suicide rates in any particular area, could be based on ,many things.
I live in Oregon, and the suicide rate is high here, and in Washington. Because of the amount of rainfall.. each year.
Just because one state has poor mental health programs, also has nothing to do with the church.
Your attempt to lay the blame, or say that the LDS church is in any way responsible for a high suicide rate in Utah, is an incorrect assumption.

Answer 3

You know not all people in utah are LDS?

And everone goes through depression at some time in their life....but most people will just lie about it so they don't seem crazy or something.


I had to take a depression/anxiety test for my university class....I lied so i wouldn't have to go to counseling....

But they don't know if I'm lying or not.


Also, why determines depression? I bet you $100 that Paris Hilton's worst depression episode is not even sad compared to someone's who lives in the ghetto and sees someone die every week....

Answer 4

Did you not hear me last time I answered you? It's because they live in Utah, not because they're Mormons.

Answer 5
