Sorry, don't agree. I recently moved from Southern CA to Utah. (I claim insanity) and Mormons own the state. There is no separation of church and state.
The bigotry comes from the Mormons. This is not someone shifting blame or whining as you state. Rather a person who has attended the church and tithed in order to learn first hand about this religion.
Truth - Both in SOCAL and Utah the church has pages upon pages of unadvertised top notch and much desired job openings. These listings are not open to the public and the Mormon church members are usually the ones doing the hiring as well. They have positioned themselves into almost every level of government and people better start waking up to take notice.
If you are NOT Mormon you will be tolerated at best by your neighbors. You will be monitored by them as well.
If you are a democrat you will be shunned. In some cases, your property may be destroyed.
If your child decides to be a Mormon and is allowed to marry in the church, the parents will not be allowed to witness this or enter the temple (if they are not Mormon). You would not be worthy so you would have to attend an outside ceremony.
If a doctor makes a mistake, good luck finding an attorney who will take a case. "Everyone makes mistakes"
If you have any sort of criminal record (even from years ago) you will not be able to rent a place. Not even at a trailer park.
You are told how to vote in the church. If not blatantly then it it insinuated. Oh, yes it is true. And the flock listens.
If you are gay, might as well keep on going. There is no place for you.
If you are a woman and not married when you die, you will not reach heaven but will forever be only a handmaiden to God.
I could go on and on but this really isn't the right venue I guess. I just feel it is necessary to try to let people know how dangerous it is to let Romney in the White House. It scares me so badly I can't sleep at night. If I had not lost so much in the housing crash I would not be in this state as it is very oppressing and it is indeed run by the church. But I am not one to run from my obligations so I am stuck here for a while longer.
Not every person who is a Mormon is evil. But I would classify this more of a cult than religion. Well, I feel most religions are close to being cults, but this one is something you should investigate before voting this November. Free country and all that, but this group is not welcoming to anyone with a past, they are not forgiving as they would have you believe, and if you are black or gay, or got in trouble with the law, move on. You are not welcome. Only recently were black men even allowed in the church or allowed to become elders. Seems sort of wrong to me. So to the person who says they are persecuted for being Mormon, PUHLEASE! Not in Utah where the mother ship is from! Nor Arizona,or Idaho where the church has a strong hold. The church even has strong ties with Las Vegas. I have posted these words not in hate nor bigotry and I only treat people with the respect they deserve but come on. I am tired of the propaganda being doled out.
I must post anonymously for fear of retaliation. Even this is risky.
