I got booted from the tour of the Mormon church in La Jolla after asking if you got to name your own planet or not. Apparently that was considered very offensive, for some reason. I was genuinely curious, actually.[/quote]
I was best man at a wedding, standing in the back room with the best man and pastor looking through a little window at the crowd in the pews.
The pastor saw two men in black pants, white shirts, and black ties. “Are those Mormons?? Who invited Mormons to the wedding?” he said, visibly angry. “Uh, I did” said the groom. There was dead silence.
He probably would have kicked me out had I chimed in that I’m a non-believer.
We were at a dance club a few weeks ago, midnight on a Sat night, when a man we didn’t know came up and started talking to us. After about 5 minutes, he said “hey, there’s this great church just a couple minutes away you should go to…” I injected “well, we’re Atheists”. The look on his face was priceless. His mouth, still open and frozen mid-sentence, didn’t know what to say. He looked at us as if we were Satan.
It’s amazing how many religions are intolerant of other views.
