Mormonism, what does the peanut gallery think?

I'm just flattered to be included in the 'peanut gallery'. What a joy to be so highly regarded.

I would aver that all religion is toxic, but the only one that I would say is more poisonous than Mormonism is Islam. This is rather ironic, as the two religions are actually parallel in a great many ways.

Rather than indoctrinating your child into a particular mythology, you should consider seeking some other means of social support. If you really want to find a more conventional church environment, at least the Unitarians are not as intellectually stultifying as most religions are.

The best of all options would be no religion, but Mormonism would be close to the worst option.

Edit: If you really want to include spirituality then I would again fall back on the Unitarians as a suggestion. While individual churches of course vary, on the whole they are a fairly reasonable organization.

Polygamy??? Huh???

It is one thing for an internet bozo troll to claim that they don't know that

THE Church Of JESUS CHRIST Of Latter Day Saints has NOT allowed Polygamy for over a hundred years,

but someone that claims to have been a member, now just assumes that Mormons have more than one wife, whilst asking their seemingly innocuous question...

don't blame me if I am more than a little suspicious.

If a Non-Mormon would have to have lived under a rock in Siberia under a glacier their entire life, where have you been, someone that claims to be a Mormon, where have you been living???

Unless...

you never were a Mormon in the first place in the past.

That would stand to reason, based on the off the wall nature of your question, insinuating that Mormons have more than one wife, when that is not true, anyone in THE Church Of JESUS CHRIST Of Latter Day Saints that has a marital arraignment with more than one wife is excommunicated no exceptions whatsoever.

If you had been a member then you would have known that.

That aside...

of course you should join THE Church Of JESUS CHRIST Of Latter Day Saints.

Jesus wants both you and your son for a Sunbeam.

Primary would be a very good thing for your son. There is lots of singing, and that is good for kids.

Mormons believe in Jesus Christ and in keeping the commandments of Jesus Christ. You can't do any better than that.

God bless.

Well, they seem like nice enough people, usually. I will say they get shat on for how ridiculous the tenets of their religion are by other religious groups, but that's not fair, because their religions have just as much transparently nonsensical gibberish. Not that I'm saying they aren't nuts, clearly they are. There's no way around that conclusion. If I may give some advice on your child's religious tutelage, let your son make his own decisions with his soul. If he wants to learn about this or that religion, let him. Don't push him into one.

Speaking as a member of the peanut gallery, I have come to the conclusion that mormons have one m too many!

Don't go back! I'm sure you can raise your child just as well without the Mormon religion.

"I want my son to have a strong community of like-minded people."

Then you need to teach him to limit his intelligence and conform.

What a terrible thing to wish on a child.

Well, do you want him to grow up with lies. I know they have some good values, but you have to remember their false teachings as well.
