The Mormons

And btw flaming them won't change their mind one bit, they'll just think "poor misguided soul" and bare their testimonies over and over. V funny dude!

ARE THERE ANY ZOROASTRIANS ON HERE? WANKERS

HEY BAHA'I FUCKERS YOU ARE DISLIKED BY ME

Boy all the Snake Handlers on here sure are dumb.

lol Baha'i always seems like such a peaceful religion.

no, i know thats how they will react. one of my best friends became a born again mormon last year.

im a kind of ugly jerk agnostic who is bored

I can't stand that offshoot board, "I Love My Ecumenical Pastor."

We should start a thread about Racist Mithraists.

dude i fucking met a zoroastrian in the pub the other day NO REALLY I DID

unsurprisingly, he wasn't "practising".

Do they not do alcohol then? I mean come on, wasn't Freddie Mercury a Zoroastrian?

i was just about to ask that

Again it seems like quite a chill religion.

he was drinking alcohol. he wasn't a practising zoroastrian is what i meant to say, merely a zoroastrian by birth. much as i'm greek orthodox by christening.

they all suck too. im gonna go watch law and order SVU

Anyway LJ, if you could hook swinburnginging up he could phone this guy up and tell him that Zoroaster's a wanker or something.

Also Wanked Zarathustra

OMG LJ did they wave censers all over you?

i've got so many thetans i could probably explode their BRAINS if i wanted, them darned zoroastriologists.

You should totally grow one of those Greek Orthodox beards, dude.

Until I shaved yesterday I had a nice crop. Had to grow it for the play I was in, as I had been assigned the part of Abu Hamza.

Oh Undergradspaws.

omg you're in plays

(haha!)

(Don't worry, it was Abu Hamza as a handmaiden, by way of Frank Sinatra and Bryan Ferry. The play also featured Jeremy Beadle, Elvis Presley, and Prince Rodeo. And was very tragicomic. Not to mention good.)

damnit, i've already seen that episode. so who is a wanker? Zoroastirians?

thank god

SHHHHHH. IT'S A SURPRISE

Yeah, Chaki! I've been in, amongst other things, Greek tragedy, Shakespearian comedy, and LJ-penned romance. No, rly.

Shakespeare is cool. i like moliere too. they aren't jerks

who gives a shit about moliere??? what the fuck are you on about swinburningforyou??

swinburne for short

BAN SWIMMBUMMING4YOU

He stole Oilyrags' surname. ;_;

Dude I told you there are zero Mormons here, wtf.

W4lter, say yes

Y'know, under old ILX I could've hilariously logged in as "Norman Mormon" five minutes ago, but I'm fucked if I can be bothered to set up another googlemail account.

what a shame

practicing Zoroastrians do drink AFAIK

http://www.exmormon.org/ is great for some post-Mormon haze hilarity - especially any thread having to do with tithing and disposal of the one year supply of food. This one is great

Ok, once I went to Price Club or one of those jumbo stores with my whole Mormon boyfriend's family. So they all just started stocking up - the idea was to refill all the stuff they had used.

When they got to checkout, the bill was something like $1700. The checker looked at them and said, "Is this a Y2K thing?" His father just sorta joked, "No, not really. It's a six-kid thing."

Then they got home and were unpacking, and his mother was in the kitchen looking at this HUGE bag of pancake mix they had bought. She was sitting there counting on her fingers for a minute, then looked up, dismayed, and said, "We have enough pancake mix for over 3000 pancakes."

Later that day, she was on the phone to the customer service department for recipes that could be made with the pancake mix.

They also used to laugh at people who stored wheat. "What are they going to do? Drive back and forth over it with their car?"

My dad has a big-ass wheat grinder out in his garage so his barrels full of wheat will not have been purchased in vain.

That is a great site. :D

Study Shows Utah is Most Depressed

Utah is the most depressed state in the entire country. A nationwide study released by Mental Health America ranks Utah high in depression and low in treatment of the illness.

This study is certainly a wake-up call for Utahns and our mental health care system. It examined levels of depression in each state and outcomes for those who sought treatment.

A local psychologist says he thinks mental health counseling should be more accessible in Utah. "I think, because of the economy and what not, a lot of our local mental health programs are cutting back on their staffs for lack of money. It's sad," Dr. Wil Higashi said.

The survey claims that Utah has the highest percentage of people reporting unmet health needs. Utah ranks in the bottom 10 states for its shortage of psychiatrists and outpatient clinics. The study suggests more can be done to break down treatment barriers that are associated with high rates of depression.

Higashi also believes another reason for Utah's high depression rate is the massive involvement in structured religions. "All religions make people feel guilty if they're not performing to the teachings of their church and their religion, and that causes a lot of depression too. Guilt is a big one," he explained.

The study also links the depression rate with a lack of health insurance. Lawmakers invested $2.7 million last year to treat mentally ill Utahns who are too poor to afford health insurance but earn too much for Medicaid.

State Health Director Dr. David Sundwall says the governor is about to propose health insurance coverage for all Utahns. "I think I'd look forward to details when he gives the State of the State address. That won't be too long from now," he said.

Higashi also says, despite Utah's low rate of treatment, it's a state that has lead the nation in antidepressant use.

The study names the least depressed state as South Dakota, and it's no surprise what state comes in second: Hawaii.

Burning swine 4 U.

You cannot afford to spend your time listening to unworthy music

Mormons OTM. And the Garden of Eden was (and IS!) in Missouri. It's near Columbia. I've been there.

no one has disproven my original thesis

are people from utah really called utahns?

Rhymes with Futons.

Utahds.

Out-of-staters are Utaren'ts or Utaints.
