Why Are Americans so Anti-Utah?

[Hobbes]

Hey! It's sensored sh@g! Damnation!

po·lyg·a·my - The condition or practice of having more than one spouse at one time. Also called plural marriage.
po·lyg·y·ny - The condition or practice of having more than one wife at one time.
pol·y·an·dry - The condition or practice of having more than one husband at one time.

My problem with Utah is its high concentration of Christians with a capital C.

You lika the bold, eh?

My problem with Utah is the racist, ultra-evangelical religion which calls it home. The Mormon faith teaches that Black people are black because they are the decendents of Ham or Shem or whomever it was that saw Noah naked and got cursed for it. Being turned black was the curse. Dennis Rodman was right.

I don't agree with any religions "zealot", Mormons are one of 'em. That's my reason for not liking Utah....that, and they're the host of BYU....just check my sig.

Religious zealots suck the big one.....

Anyone ultra-religious scares me.
Anyone who lets other people do the majority of thinking for them scares me.

The've got all the self-righteousness of "proper" Yankees*, and none of the toughness or ingenuity. They live in the middle of a facking desert. They have no real industry to speak of. Their state's boundaries are all straight lines. Not all people from Utah are like that, but the majority that I saw were. I have friends there, but I'm never going back. Texas, on the other hand, is none of those things. Other than self-righteous, but we back it up with our strong military presence!

i got two mormon friends

one is very devout, the other isnt

and neither push their beliefs
actually, they keep their beliefs very private when they arent with other mormons.

I got with a Mormon girl.

So did she mind if you dated other women at the same time?

I don't dislike Utah, I just laugh at it because of its ultra-conservative history.

As for Mormons, there is a pretty fair concentration of them where I live. I don't think that most of them are too devout, as I don't get many conversion attempts. Those who have tried have reached an understanding that if they don't push me, I won't heckle them.

By the way, does anyone find it ironic that a significant number of Las Vegas backers were and are Mormon?

Is Utah still a dry state or can you buy hooch there these days?

Another one- is it still illegal to have any form of sex that involves the removal of clothing or involves bodily contact?

Yes you can buy hooch there. There are no bars though, they're CLUBS
You have to buy a membership to drink in them. When we were there we had to buy guest memberships so we could drink for those couple of days. The clubs are great because there aren't really many morons in them.

Some GREAT golf courses up in the hills.

And in general, I agree with those that have previously said, most of the mormons I know are nice. But their need to try to convert you is a bit annoying.

Money, get away.
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay.
Money, it's a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team.

Money, get back.
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, it's a hit.
Don't give me that do goody good bull****.
I'm in the high-fidelity first class travelling set
And I think I need a Lear jet.

Money, it's a crime.
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're
giving none away.

Did You Know:

The founder of BYU's motto was "I don't care how you bring them, just bring them young!".

[Ninot]

while that how i thought BYU was spelt before someone more informed told me differrent, i hesitate to believe thats the motto of the founder.

Try reading the history of the "Church". How many "Wives" did he have and what were there ages?
