It doesn't have to. There's no reason to be afraid of conflict.

Or any faith at all.
LDS and Scientology are only strange to most because they haven't gone through the normalizing effect of hundreds of years of establishment. Once the details and contradictions and various bad turns are worn and faded by time, Mormons and Scientologists will seem as normal as Methodists.

Gosh Dennis stop padding your postcount and say something worthwhile already.
(Also, according to my shrink, who has made a hobby of studying it, scientology is mostly just psychology anyway. And brainwashing.)
Luke C:
As a Catholic I always hate it when people bash my religion even though I do it all the time, even sometimes when talking to some pretty senior people in the Church, so I can understand where Narr is coming from when he is defending his faith even if he (?) isn't claiming it is flawless. I was sad when the previous Pope died even if I disagreed with his views on a lot of things.
I have very little knowledge of Mormonism and to my knowledge have never met one, I don't think there are many in the UK, but it does seem kind of odd to me but Im pretty sure all religions seem odd from the outside.
Patrick:
Most of the people in this thread have been here long enough to fucking know better than to start discussing religion in this forum. It's a damn touchy subject. Come on guys, even Jeph has expressed his opinions on the subject. He doesn't want people discussing it on here. Why? 'Cause it pisses him off.
That being said, don't some of you old hands remember that Jeph has a history of removing the forums when things/people get stupid? I know I can't speak for him, but my advice would be to not tempt him.
