What the hell is up with you? He stated quite clearly that he knows next to nothing about Mormons, and then you start slagging him for saying something outdated?

Hmm.. Well as i said I know verry little about them. Here they call themselves mormons and teach, from what i've heard, the same kind of techings that is most common in USA..

btw, I've seen several docementarys about polygamy that featured mormons and their many wives, so it is still practiced even though the mainstream "mormon"-churches doesn't allow it.

Anyway, I assume that the reason they didn't allow me to study their religion was because when i asked i had a t-shirt thait said, "Ateist? Javisst!", witch means "Atheist? Ofcourse!", only in swedish it rhymes...

Red Pill, unfortunately that is just the way I am...I would always wonder what the truth was if I took the blue one.

There is only one mormon church, there are religions that broke away from them when they got rid of polygamy, and I guess I did overreact with the polygamy comment in the first place, but I assure the the leaders of the LDS church are very against polygamy. MANY people still think they practice which is wierd to me because i have grown up in Salt Lake City. Sorry again for being a dick.

truth. happiness is great but it will fall apart if it is a lie. been there. doesnt work forever, there is always a loop hole that will reveal the truth. life is suffering, but you cant suffer without life and with a life, you'd suffer but not in vain for once

Red pill. Better chances of getting laid that way - was there any other criterion for this decision?

Red pill of truth.

I follow my convictions because I believe them to be true. If I were to find out that any one of them is objectively and doubtlessly false, I would abandon it. Comfort, while important, is secondary.

I don't envy them, I pity them. They choose not to see reality as clearly as possible. Put me down for a Red pill please.

It pains me to read this, and I'm not in any way trying to be insulting.

Red pill for me, though.

Id like to say Truth. I have always been curious and loved knowledge, and I dont think I would like to continue to believe in something that didnt exist.

Thats a tough choice, though.

Red Pill. It's an easy choice. You can find a new way to fill your life, and even if you couldn't, you're life was never really full. There's nothing scarier than the idea that you're stuck inside a dream you can't wake from.
