I wouldn't say that Mormon's are any more deluded than any other religious group, or even a child who believes in Santa Claus.
I have a handful of Mormon friends and I must say that they are some of the nicest, family-centered people I've ever known.

But I don't want to know anything about Mormons except how to avoid them.

Misconception: Mormon underwear has knee protectors and nipple protectors.
Explanation: Mormon garments do not have knee protectors, or any other type of protectors. Members of the LDS church who are engaged in activities requiring physical protectors of any sort would have to use them just like anyone else (LDS women still wear bras just like other women).

Mormonism has a touch of Dungeons & Dragons to it.

They may be family centered, but they hinge on naive.
- You've got to be pretty fucking naive to even fall for a religion's bullshit storiesmonospaced

What religion doesn't hinge on naive? The big ones all seem to believe in fantasy worlds and mythical gods.
- Please stop lumping all religions into your massive generalizations.designbot

well theirs is bullshit piled upon bullshit

Oh c'mon designbot, name one major religion that doesn't believe in fantasy worlds and mythical gods. Just because you subscribe to one of them doesn't mean you're less naive than the rest.

"mythical gods" well I sorry I don't believe in any of those.
Tell me what you believe and I bet I can use your same presuppositions and turn it into mythology.

- If you believe in "God" then you essentially believe in a mythical creature.monospaced

I dunno. It's one thing to be naive, but it's another to consciously choosing ideas that make a lot less sense.
My sister is a mormon. One day my family and I casually joked about how Native Americans are essentially Asians because they migrated from Asia to America during the Ice Age, and she sternly scolded us, "Native Americans are from Israel. It's a fact."
So what do I say to that?
Anyway, I've seen the Mormon underwear around when I lived with her. I think it's just kind of a leftover thing from the frontier times. It's very 1800s. It seems like they just stuck with whatever rules Joseph Smith and other came up with at the time.
Oh yeah, another really f-ed up thing is that they have really seriously dorky dress code for the temple. Looks like ugly long dresses with floral patterns are the way to go if you want to please the elders.
That's my 2 cents. Personally I think Mormonism took all the reasoning ability away from my sister, but whatever. Maybe they're right. We people without 10 kids are probably going to hell.

I believe we are homosapiens, descended from great apes through evolution. I believe we are no more special than any other living creature on this planet, except that we happen to be unique with our large brain/body ratio and are capable of complex thought beyond other species. I believe that when we die, we are returned to the Earth as elements (decomposition, whatever) and that there is no such thing as a soul/spirit or afterlife. I do not adhere to a strict concept of good and evil, but I do believe in being a decent human being. I believe that all things can be explained rationally.
I can go on and on, but I promise none of it is based on myth.

So what is fact? Things that are only repeatable and verifiable?
- yes, of course, that is the definition of factmonospaced

You can't stump me or corner me since my beliefs require no faith.

Okay then within your definition of fact, was George Washington a real person?
And how about death in general, is it a fact?
