Mormon muppets..

Prelude: Mormon is a Christian sect, predominant in the Americas and Australia. It is known for being a male dominant society where women are meant to bear children only. Working women are forbidden and their path to heaven gets closer as they bear more and more children. Young males after their college (approx 21 yrs) are sent away from home to UTAH to learn and practice their culture and rituals. Each male is assigned with another male partner and they spend quite some time at the church. After their initial stint at the church they are assigned to some part of the globe (all expenses paid) where they are supposed to indulge themselves in the service of god and activities of the church. They are forbidden to even call home and talk to their parents (except for Christmas and Easter). Once they return back to their home, they can resume a normal life. This exercise gets oneself even more closer to the church and Christianity on the whole.

(Above information was gathered from a person who was born and raised in a Mormon family, but no longer follows this religion / sect. She was forbidden by her family & relatives for moving away from Mormonism).

Main: It was a windy day in London and I was on my way back from work. It was about 1745 and was walking back home. I was stopped by two smartly dressed gentlemen with a badge on their breast and an interesting conversation followed (he will be addressed as a Mormon),

Mormon: Hello Sir, Myself Simon and I'm from California USA. Where are you from?
Me: I'm from India
Mormon: Ah, sweet, do you belive in God ?
Me: No I don't
Mormon: No you don't ? So what do you believe in ?
Me: I believe in eat, sleep and have fun
Mormon: Ok, so you dont believe in God. Let me tell you something....if an Orange falls on the ground and bruises itself and then you pick it up an cut it open, the fruit is still available for you to eat even if the fruit bears all the bruises....what do you say about that? You think there is no God ?
Me: No there is no God. You can still eat the fruit because they are tough skinned and thats how they are. Thats nature
Mormon: Look at you, you were born and living through your wonderful life, you think there is no God ?
Me: Nope, My parents are responsible for my birth and I've still not crossed an average lifespan of a human being, hence I'm alive and kicking..
Mormon: But Sir you are standing here in front of me..(before he could continue)
Me: ...thats because I was heading home from the train station and you folks stopped me.
Mormon: Allright, have a good evening Sir, Bye

At the end of it, I was satisfied that I was able to give back sweetly for the same people who openly spread the biggest virus in our society..RELIGION.

I still dont understand how so many people attribute anything and everything to this imaginary supernatural power called GOD. Why doesnt one understand the fact that 'you reap what you sow' and all miracles are attributed to one's mental state and this whole bloody thing is not any rocket science. It is as simple as my answers above and there are better things to ponder about in life isn't it ?

He probably moved on spreading his propaganda and I'm sure if there exists any GOD, he must be laughing at these Mormon muppets.
