Mormons Are Normal And Mainstream

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (I prefer to call them COJCOLDS) has started an advertising program both on commercial radio and television (in selected US markets) and on the Internet to show just how "Normal" and "Mainstream" they are. So, in an effort to help them, based on his many years in the Mormon Church, Flat Lander, the Bishop of the new Moron Church prepared this video of things that the Mormon Church actually do and believe. Decide for yourselves how "normal" and "mainstream" Mormons are.


After watching this informative and funny video I wanted to see if there were any famous exMormons out there; I was surprised and happy at what I found.











Ryan Gosling, he's "religious but nondenominational"

Hotel Bibles Beware of Sir Ian McKellen!



In an interview with Details magazine the openly gay Lord of the Rings star says he tears out a section of Leviticus, which condemns homosexuality, whenever he finds the good book in hotel suites - and his small-scale vandalism has inspired others to do the same.

Details: Is it true that when you stay at hotels you tear out the Bible page that condemns homosexuality?

Ian McKellen: I do, absolutely. I'm not proudly defacing the book, but it's a choice between removing that page and throwing away the whole Bible. And I'm not really the first: I got delivered a package of 40 of those pages—Leviticus 18:22—that had been torn out by a married couple I know. They put them on a bit of string so that I could hang it up in the bathroom.


This would be great if it really caught on! Just think if these groups of people staying at hotels ripped out the parts of the bible that said that they were an abomination or that they just weren't as good as everyone else. The hotel bibles would end up looking like the coupon section in a penny pinchers newspaper.

The Blind, Handicapped, and Midgets - It wasn't their fault but they cannot approach the altar of god.

The Fashion Concious - Don't wear wool/linen blend clothing.

Women Who Don't Like Being Subservient Pushovers to their Husbands -
1 Corinthians 11:3 and 1 Corinthians 14:34-36 and 1 Timothy 2:11-15

Oprah Visits Denmark and Speaks to Some Happy Female Atheists

The atheists were Danish women in Copenhagen. They talked about the system of government, economy, social services, and so on. And at one point Oprah said "I heard you claim to be happier because you are not involved in religion" or words to that effect.

Oprah was displaying for her viewing audience, and herself, how things work in a country that is far, far more "civilized" than the US.

I guess the point of the show was to examine "the happiest people in the world" ... The Danes... And it turns out that they are less materialistic, more family- and children-focused, have a full range of fully funded public services, minimal difference in wealth between the richest and poorest, a progressive tax system that rewards following a career that suits you rather than one that makes more money, and atheism.

Ben Stein, Professional Bigoted Douche Keeps the Stupid Flowing


He's an actor, creationist, gay basher, and all around annoying dick and he has a new peice on the right-wing website, The American Spectator.

"We have … an entire party, the Democrats, whose primary constituency, besides the teachers' unions, is homosexual men and lesbian women. I hope it won't come as a surprise to anyone that a big part of male homosexual behavior is interest in young boys."

I think Stein is confusing "homosexual" with "Catholic Priests". To make himself look even more rediculous, here is the very first sentence in the very next paragraph of his article.

"Don't get me wrong. My very best friend is gay."

Well Mr. Stein, your "best friend" keeps shitty company, and I doubt he'd appreciate you calling him a pedophile.

Here's Stein, last year, on the christian tv channel Trinity Broadcast System promoting his anti-evolution, anti-science, pro-creationism "documentary" Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed.

Stein: When we just saw that man, I think it was Mr. Myers [biologist P.Z. Myers], talking about how great scientists were, I was thinking to myself the last time any of my relatives saw scientists telling them what to do they were telling them to go to the showers to get gassed … that was horrifying beyond words, and that’s where science — in my opinion, this is just an opinion — that’s where science leads you.

Crouch: That’s right.

Stein: …Love of God and compassion and empathy leads you to a very glorious place, and science leads you to killing people.

Crouch: Good word, good word.

Brad Pitt on New Orleans Mayoral Run: ‘I don’t have a chance’


"If chosen, would you run?" Curry asked in the prerecorded interview that ran Thursday.

"Yeah," Pitt said.

"Would you serve?"

"Yeah. I'm running on the gay marriage, no religion, legalization and taxation of marijuana platform," he joked.

"I don't have a chance," Pitt predicted.
