people whose religion was made up by some 19th century gold seeker and is based on a history of north america for which there is not a single shred of evidence should not be making fun of anybody

That's mocking? Mormon humor is weak. I'm a Catholic myself and I can tell you some raunchy priest and nun jokes that would make your toes curl. I can whip up an LOLChrist mock faster than you can say "Hail Mary." No one mocks Catholics better than another Catholic. The only other religious people out there who even better at self mockery then us are the Jews. But they have been around longer and have Jackie Mason.

C'mon, Mormon lightweights. Leave the heavy stuff to the professionals.

Nice way to undermine your own cause!

You don't mock Catholics while trying to convince them to stop being Catholics...it would be as silly as referring to an "invisible sky fairy" while trying to promote atheism.

I don't think they were trying to convert Catholics. It looked like vandalism to me. I mean, breaking statues? That's not cool. What if I replaced the Horn of Moroni with a saxophone?

And we non-theist don't try to convert. We prefer the term...intellectual enlightening.

Aw, jeez...not another "mormon thread." I can't stand these flame wars between mormons and non-mormons (who think they know everything about mormonism.)

FYI, I was a missionary in Uruguay...and mocking other religions (as mentioned in the article) is exactly what we were told NOT to do.

Sheesh.

Wherever there's four Catholics, there's always a fifth.

So back in the late 70's the Pope was on TV waving his hand and speaking to the masses from his balcony. I asked my dad what was he saying and he replied "Get back, get back you damn Dagos, get off my lawn....." To this day I still crack a smile when I see the Pope waving....

Catholics won't be burning down the Salt Lake City Temple. On the other hand, if they had mocked a different religion...

It's never a good idea to mock people who believe they're eating the flesh and drinking the blood of their god every week.

Obviously this will lead to the burning of Mormon churches and the execution of Mormon missionaries in heavily Catholic states.

I mean, that's what the Muslims do whenever someone prints a cartoon, and after all, modern Muslims aren't more violent than adherents of any other religion....right?

Mormons stopped considering black folk demon spawn in the '70s, which I think was pretty considerate, so I guess they're allowed in now.

As for these guys, haven't they heard of Scientologists?

This was all explained in the book The Church and the Negro written by LDS heavyweight John L Lund; it's the mark of Cain don't ya know!

As "the Prophet" Joe Smith himself explains: "Had I anything to do with the Negro, I would confine them by strict law to their own species" (Joseph Smith Jr, History of the Church, V.217-218)

Yoy can't make this shiat up folks.....

I know almost everything.

If you're thinking, Knockoff, that Muslims retaliate with arson and murder every time a mosque is vandalized, you'll want to avoid stating as much in a forum populated by people who have access to google, as they'll merely bury you in links to stories about vandalized mosques in the West and defy you to link to the stories about the resulting murder & arson.

Weaksauce.

The only difference between a mosque getting vandalized and a christian church getting vandalized is that in the latter case, a bunch of slack-jawed wingnuts with urine-stained boxers show up to wail about how teh muslams are out to kill us all.

Grow up, cowards.

BrokenToilet 2008-03-09 09:00:13 PM  
This joke isn't raunchy, but still amusing:

A man met two priests in a bar, one was a Dominican and the other a Jesuit. He says to them, "I've never been able to understand the different types of Catholic priests. Would you explain it to me?" The priests agree. The Dominican begins, saying "My order was found in the 13th century by St. Dominic to fight the Albigensian heretics," to which the Jesuit replied "Mine was founded in the 16th century by St. Ignatius to fight the Protestant heretics." The man considered this for a bit and then asked "So whose order is better?" to which the Dominican immediately responded, "When's the last time you saw an Albigensian?"

I'm trying to figure out how this thread went from a Mormon thread to an anti-Muslim thread.

I think most atheists don't actually want the religious to stop believing. How would they continue to feel superior?

My father was a schizophrenic and I visited him in a state mental hospital in the 70's.

try an entire ward of those types all milling around and the majority are spouting the fantasies. My dad points at one guy and says he's really crazy. I'm thinking if he thinks that guy is crazy, that guy must be some kind of crazy, because Pop was nucking futz.
