Reply #6: I was wondering about the Mormons just yesterday.

I was driving down my street and two Mormon missionaries (cookie cutter) were walking down the street facing me. One of them waved to me, congenially. I kept on driving, wondering, should I have stopped and given them an earful? I've actually thought about following them one day as they wandered into a black section nearby. I thought about following them, and waiting until someone answered the door to yell, "They're Mormons! It's a racist, sexist, homophobic cult."

But I'm not completely sure on this. I have seen these same two guys walking home in the afternoon with their cool shades, and I saw them driving one day grooving to some rap music. I've read stories from recovered Mormons who remember their missionary time fondly. Is it possible these young people fall into the category of young and misguided? Is it possible that most of them will outgrow their religion? Is it possible that Mormonism is being broken down by our society much like fundamentalism in general?
