I like how you didn't turn this into a huge Youtube argument... thankyou

I think everybody has the right to have beliefs which appear silly to others. When some belief is important to you and you want to worship based on that belief then - while respecting the rights of others as well - you should generally have the right to do that.

However by the same token everybody is entitled to find everybody else's beliefs absurd, and should have the right to freely discuss that topic.

everything he says is based on his encounter. if it's wrong then maybe mormons should make sure their ambassadors know their religion. what is he claiming that's false just out of curiosity? because i can't think of any demographic that would be generally happy with being reunited with their entire family than the one he mentions.

Know it was founded by a fraudster. Anything else required?

Magic underwear. Black guys are neutral traitors. Jesus was in space. The Garden of Eden is in America.

It's hogwash.

You guys know dick about the Mormons. Especially this crooked nose bastard.

Here that pedophile uncles? Don't worry, the Mormon Church says that when you and your nephew, who you had been molesting for years, dies, you two will be united forever. Such a lovely religion.

I sort of love Stephen Fry. "What happens if you've been good?" Genius!

[Triipticz]

Yes.

[IronicByDefault]

There is, yes, but mostly theoretical. In real life people's beliefs influence the way other people see them significantly.

He's definitely rude, but I love how his nose is at a 45 degree angle
