Heh, my girlfriend is.. or rather was mormon. She's what they refer to as "non practicing". She doesn't quite go with the church anymore, but since her family is mornon, and she was raised mormon, she'll defend it. We've gotten into some pretty interesting discussions, but i choose to respect her position, and am thankful she's not in the mormon church anymore.

I did go with her to provo Utah some months back to see her sister get married... at a mormon temple..... and umm WOW, that was ahh.. interesting. Coming from a family that has 15 freaking kids and all, nevermind the inlaws.

Of course i couldn't go inside the temple (they have temples, and churchs, and they call them wards or some such), but from what im told on what it looks like inside there, lots of mirrors, they dress in white.. reminds me of something out of science fiction They're quick to try and convert you too if you let them. Which in my book is a big no no. Hearing some of their beliefs described to me, i couldn't beleive what i was hearing, its really out there, acutally WAAAAAY out there if you compare it to what mainsream chrisitiantly drones on about.

Mormonism is BIG in utah. Well, the state was practically founded on it. And there's alot of weird laws and prohibitions (social or legal) because of it. THey're not allowed to drink coffee for instance, its considered a "hot drink" , and you can't go into a supermarket and buy beer either. Have to go to some special state run store. I really got a kick out of going a cafe, and saying out loud, "I'd like a cup of coffee!", and more of then then not, i got at least one person giving me a dirty look. COffee.. hot drink.. bad!
