Now im just curious, but i wanted to know if there are any mormons on this site. I am, and pretty much everyone i know who is also mormon does not like metal because they think its evil, with exception to a few of my friends and my dad, who all know more about metal than the average person. Now im not here to preach to anyone and i dont want to hear your anti-mormon bullshit. But if you have anthything worth saying on this matter then i would be pleased to hear about it.
Do you have mormon friends, or are you mormon? Say what ever you would like, just no bashing or arguing.

So... Blind agreement? I don't understand how you expect to create a religious topic and expect people not to bash or argue.

Freedom of speech fail.

That's a prevalent stereotype, right?

Seriously though, I have no actual opinion on the LSD LDS.

There is actually an interesting case on polygamy in Western Canada going on. We're trying to outlaw polygamy regardless of religious principle.

The Mormons are thoroughly pissed off and fighting it tooth and nail.

Interesting. I don't see why outlaw it though, but always funny to see people raging.

Hey guys, let's make a list of Mormon stereotypes!

It means "shut the fuck up". And no, I'm not telling you to do that, just answering the question.

Especially true in terms of being online. I used to think Mormons were Amish, so they weren't allowed using the internet.

Except for of course those who use Amish dating sites.

I honestly don't know anything about mormons. So the poligamy thing is a "wait what?" comment from me.
A classmate I used to have some sort of crush on was mormon... That is all I have to comment about the subject tbh...

It's not so much that what you say isn't pleasing to me, it's just in this case it seems incredibly contradictory. You go through the forums on an anti-metalcore/deathcore rampage and then you open a thread about a religion but tell us not to say anything bad.

You get to bash music you don't like, we get to bash religion we don't like.

I really don't get why Mormons are hated.
Can someone give me the gist of why they're hated?

Mormons are the only people who can get into heaven... so they must be doing something right...

I have a story though. My Dad is a Jehovah's Witness, and they sort of have a rivalry of which religion can be the most boring (although the jehovah's witness religion is actually quite intelligently put together. They literally have an answer for everything, unlike catholic's, who just say it was gods will everytime they cant explain something). Anyway, we were sitting down playing Xbox 360 one day, listening to pearl jam (the heaviest my dad (who was a massive maiden and megadeth fan) will listen to after becoming a JW) and a Mormon knocked on the door. He started preaching, but then noticed what we were doing, and said: "Pearl Jam hey? I used to like them. I prefer Alice in chains and Soundgarden though." Then he mentioned that he was going to see Audioslave live. Maybe not metal, but still not what I was expecting.

What I've learnt in my time with Jehovah's witness's though is that you can't label everyone in a religion. Like with any religion, you have normal people who share the beliefs, but still carry out their daily lives. Then you have extremists. So in the Jehovah's witness circle, there were those who wouldn't even own a tv, were pioneers (Meaning you have to get over 90 hours a month worth of witnessing, or "door knocking"). Some of these people were still nice people, and completely fine. Some of them had a holier than thou attitude, and jumped down my throat because I liked Tool. Some were laid back, and only went to the meetings, and did nothing else. I imagine it would be the same with mormons. I highly doubt everyone would adhere to every minor thing, and I like to think that some would be metalheads, or watch decent movies and stuff like that.

Another user of listverse. Kudos.

@lit - Any organized religious group is bound for certain hate and you can't help it.

Mormons are no more or less absurd than any other Christian religion. Identifying Mormonism with polygamy is like identifying Catholicism with child rape.

And I don't know why the OP says Mormons think metal is evil, unless he lives in some isolated part of humanity
