sigh. Sigh. *SIGH.* It appears that I need to make some clarifications, since certain readers of this blog tend to jump to conclusions. There are a few fallacies that I need to correct, so listen up.

1. I do not hate Mormons.
2. I do not think all Mormons are stupid.
3. I did not have a horrible life, and it is not horrible now.

I don’t really like MormonISM. That would be the belief system, and not the people in it. I find it to be false, and that is after a lot of research. Some people, however, find it easier to take leaps of faith than I do. I like facts. Others rely on feelings. That’s okay, too. It doesn’t mean they are stupid. I didn’t SAY they were stupid. But just because I don’t wax poetic about their religion, they assume I am saying THEY are STUPID. That, in itself, is STUPID.

And I certainly don’t hate MORMONS. I like Mormons. I have lots of good friends who are Mormons. Some, of course, like me, are Mormon just by nature of the fact that THEIR parents were Mormon. Many of those are not really practicing Mormons, and it’s more a cultural thing. Others go to church every Sunday. I tend to irritate those Mormons, just like they irritate me. At least it’s an even exchange.

I did the whole angry ex-Mormon thing, and I’m past it. Of course, that does not mean that I can no longer find humor in living in Utah among the Mormons. People do silly things. It also does not mean that I don’t get irritated by some of the things Mormons do en masse, just because they can.

So, here’s a big hug to all you Mormons. I’m sorry YOU think I think you’re stupid. I don’t. Love ya much. Hugs and kisses. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
