Life in a Strange Mormon Land

If you know anything about the Mormon Religion, you know it is a bizarre cult. Sitting in St. George, Utah, not far from where the Mormons massacred, a wagon train of settlers many years ago, I notice the Mormons have blocked my computer from getting on Facebook. Yesterday Lord Kadizzle had a religious discussion with some Mormon College girls at our campground. The childlike view of the world they have is very disturbing. The Mormons do have a good side. They are very service oriented, very industrious, and generally friendly people. However, we drove through Colorado City yesterday where the fundamentalist Mormons marry 12 year old girls to eighty year old men. This is going on only sixty miles from where I sit. Religion is a relic of the past that has caused a lot of suffering, and we all need to grow up and end this nonsense that allows a Baptist Preacher in Hazen to slap a six month old baby while he deprives his 12 children of a life by home schooling them. More wars, abuse, and hate have been caused by religion than any force on Earth. If you want to believe in a higher order, fine, just don't force it on your children or the rest of the world.
